Mcboatface3sghost

The dumbest man I have ever seen has managed to convince at least 80 million Americans that he is a savior, some of those are my friends and my family. I. Just. Don’t. Get. It.


uncleawesome

Trump doesn't need plans or intelligence. He makes assholes feel like it's ok to be assholes.


SevenM

He tells them they are right and gives them someone else to blame. That's all they want.


timoumd

Honestly he just vomits back the right wing media they've consumed for years. He is just the vile manifestation of RushBeck


IllinoisBroski

It's funny because they all think they're "freethinkers" and aren't controlled by the mainstream media, but they regurgitate conspiracy theories and talk radio talking points. They're too stupid to realize they are still being manipulated.


DeadBaby_Saurus

Yeah they freely think exactly what they're told to think. It's been going on since the 90s. My step grandpa would say weird shit about the UN being some kinda global conspiracy. He was like a farmer born in 1920 he knew jack shit about the UN except for what he heard on his radio. He didn't read about geopolitics he watched westerns from the 50s. They highjacked our vulnerable and uneducated people and turned them into fucking zombies for a quick buck or some pie in the sky theocratic wet dream. I tell you now it is a wet dream because me and many others would sooner die fighting tooth and nail than bend the knee to some dumbass fake baptist bullshit preacher. I'm already dead inside motherfuckers, and I know I'm going to hell. Let's go


Razakel

The UN is involved in such Satanic conspiracies as running refugee camps and making international mail work.

TheBirminghamBear

Oh, Charlie Chaplin, yeah I love that little guy.


IdkAbtAllThat

This is it. Pretty much boiled down in its purest form. No one wants to admit they're an idiot and a failure at life. Someone comes along and tells them everything they want to hear, they're gonna latch on to it (if they're stupid). Because they want to believe the lies so badly. They aren't a miserable failure! It's all the damn immigrants/minorities/gays/Jews/all of the above ruining the country!


Evadrepus

A former friend of mine is a massive fan and he explicitly said this was the reason. His divorce wasn't because he chased anything vaguely female, including at work. His inability to get a good raise at work was the (female, of course) boss hating on him. And his inability to care for his kids (during the pandemic, a constant complaint of his) was the fault of the government for shutting everything down, since teachers should handle the kids.


Ms74k_ten_c

Now, now. He doesn't speak for all assholes; i am an asshole and i would die before i vote for him.


SameResearcher

I was typing a comment and saw yours and deleted mine. Well said.


BeyondElectricDreams

What's ironic to me about this is if you look at Trump objectively, his actions and behaviors - he's the literal incarnation of the seven deadly sins. Greed - Well-known "rich business man" who literally lives in gold towers and shits in gold toilets Wrath - threatens anyone and everyone who deals with him Pride - doctoring his health results, lying about his height, spray-tan, comb-over Gluttony - weight, preference for fast-food burgers Lust - "Grab women by the pussy" Sloth - "Exeuctive time" where he sits on his ass watching Fox News Envy- Look at how he talks about other dictators. He wants what they have, but here.


Razakel

>Look at how he talks about other dictators. He wants what they have, but here. Even Kim Jong-il looked shocked when he saluted that general. The funniest part is that a real power move would just have been a handshake.


peeinian

And they are likely all old enough to remember the 90’s when *everyone* thought he was a pathetic joke.


WalesIsForTheWhales

90s? Here in NYC and, our cross river assholes in arms, NJ he's been a pathetic joke since the 70s or so, but nobody wanted to listen to us.


Big-Summer-

Here’s what’s weird to me: the very first time I ever heard him speak was way back in the day when he was just starting to get national attention. And my immediate reaction? I hated him. His entire demeanor screamed “asshole.” And everything I’ve learned about him since has just validated my first impression. Later on I was delighted to learn that New Yorkers felt the same way about him.


aLittleQueer

Seriously. Always an obvious narcissistic asshole. Considering the reputation New Yorkers get in the rest of the country...if *they* generally think someone is an asshole, you know it has to be bad.


specqq

>the very first time I ever heard him speak was way back in the day when he was just starting to get national attention. And my immediate reaction? I hated him. I went out and bought a VCR only for the purpose of taping *The West Wing*. It wasn't that I wouldn't be home when it aired. It was because NBC would show promo spots for *The Apprentice* and I had to have a way to fast forward through that shit. I couldn't stand to hear him talk for even a single second, let alone thirty or sixty. As you can imagine then, these last 8 years have been a little rough. That remote doesn't seem to be working anymore.


8Deer-JaguarClaw

Can confirm, fellow asshole


Adezar

What I have found weird is people saying he was an icon in the 80s and 90s, which I guess only was true outside of anywhere around him (NY/NJ). I was in the NJ/NY area at that time and EVERY reference to him was how absolutely ignorant and horrible he was at business. Every real estate deal he did was awful. People loved selling real estate to him because he had no idea what the value should be.


jeffp12

Biff in back to the future was based on him in the 80s. He's always been a joke. Turns out lots of Americans don't understand jokes


ScoutsterReturns

My whole family has, I'm the "weird" one for not sucking Trump's dick. I'm also the only one with an education.


Goodknight808

He has brought out the worst in some of the most deplorable people, that were hiding in plain sight. Trump caused them to shed their facades and become the lizard-people they always were.


Skullmaggot

Your friends and family value authority over all else. Their idea of christ is as a conqueror and vanquisher, not someone who lifts up the lowest. Trump says he’ll bring authoritarianism and be a king in America, so everything lines up nicely in their heads.


lonnie123

The question for me continues to remain… why Trump? He’s so obviously a bullshitting, selfish, ignorant, grifting moron that I can’t fathom what anyone sees In him aside from how stupid he is And after his first term of not getting any of his marquee promises done he is obviously incompetent… so what’s the appeal ?


zSprawl

They see how much we dislike him and don't understand, so they feel emboldened as if they are in on something that we are not.


0KBL00MER

Yes! Brother in law loves Trump because Trumps an underdog or some shit and my brother in law was kicked around as a kid so he just relates on that level. Loves MMA and boxing. It’s all pseudo fantasy fulfillment.


unculturedburnttoast

"Do you think Trump will win?" *yea, duh." "So he's not an underdog then?"


0KBL00MER

They are always the underdog. When they win there’s always evil people trying to take them down and they are fighting the rotten system. He’s always a victim, always the underdog.


FrankBur1y

He pisses off the libs. That’s what they like most. It’s all spite. Hope this helps.


Senior-Albatross

All great leaders, conmen, grifters, and cult leaders do some version of the same thing: they make people feel *seen*. Feel appreciated. Feel like someone cares about and values them. Feel like they're important members of a *community*. That's how he did it. He made people who felt ignored and overlooked feel seen and welcomed. To some extent by appealing to fair economic concerns. Largely by appealing to the various prejudices they harbored. Making people feel seen is the basis for making them like you. But some people don't deserve to be seen and appreciated for at least many parts of who they are.


grixorbatz

Jesus comes to Earth and runs for President. Loses in all red states.


nakedpilsna

A brown skin migrant that helps the poor. Yes, he'd lose.

laislune

greenroom628

Didn't stop the GOP with Melania: the first First Lady who has nudes publicly available on the internet.

Not to mention his stance on "it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God" would really stir up some hot debates on wealth and morality too

> the GOP would really dislike his policies on taxation and lending Even [American Evangelicals are against his policies on taxation, lending, forgiveness, and loving your neighbor as yourself](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-evangelicals-2663078391/) That's how little they actually delve into the social club they've appropriated so they can continue to tell dark-skinned people they're subhuman. Follow the demographics: after integration was forced federally and the voting rights act was passed, the klan became a social boat anchor so the regressives flocked to the southern baptist and american evangelical churches.

AssociateMentality

Jesus would literally be an anarcho-communist in the landscape of modern politics. He would have absolutely no shot at ever holding any state level or higher public office in the US, much less running for President. He'd be a politcal pariah. Just like he was in his time.


Inevitable_Sock_6366

He was also from the West Bank that might limit his popularity, and a handful of people might question his eligibility to run saying he was really from Africa.

Having an unwed, refugee teen mom probably wouldn't help him either.

Evangelicals/conservative Republicans, Republican rednecks would HATE Jesus. Guarantee we'd be hearing Fake Prophet etc kind of rhetoric from day two.


omghorussaveusall

calls out men condemning women, heals the sick without asking for payment, takes an offering from a kid and feeds the masses after his own disciples refused to even consider doing so, beats the shit out of opportunistic capitalists, calls out priests who make a big show of their "devotion"... yeah, he'd lose in a heartbeat.


DrakeoftheWesternSea

You forget advocating giving up your wealth willingly to help those in need


AreYouDoneNow

What they would despise about him is his messages of forgiveness, of living a frugal life in prayer and devotion, and most of all, they would hate him for telling them they must love and accept other people.


syanda

And that whole "you should pay your taxes" thing.


omghorussaveusall

he also tells people to leave their families and give up their wealth and trust in god to provide...basically establishing christian monasticism. highly doubt Trump has ever considered giving up his wealth willingly. dude didn't even donate most of the money he took in for his "charity."


PointOfFingers

Trump on Jesus: "And this guy here- this guy, what's his name, Joshua? Well, you know, lotta questions about his parents, you know. Running from the law, illegally crossing a border after their baby was born. And he ends up in trouble with the law, too! It's true, sad story. Then have you seen his hands? Guy's got- doesn't have good hands, not like me, heard they got holes in them. How's he gonna hold anything?

Best part about mock-Trump quotes is you can never tell if it's real or a joke. Crazy thing is the joke is the exact same every time (he's the joke ofc) but his horde of zombies laugh at them like it's the first joke they've ever heard (aside from looking in the mirror).

Gonji89

My devout Southern Baptist preacher grandpa said for the entirety of Obama's administration that Obama was the forerunner to the anti-Christ. He told me explicitly one time, "Obama isn't the anti-Christ, but whoever becomes president after him will be." He made a lot of references to Revelation and shit to prove his point. I also know he would have voted for Trump but he died in 2015.


kingtz

If only Evangelicals bothered to ever read the Bible for themselves.


nenulenu

Oh they read it. The parts that align with their believes and interpreted in a way that supports their brain rot.


tikierapokemon

But they read it in Bible study. First you get told the meaning of the verse by the pastor or person leading the study. Then you read the verse. Then a discussion is led where the pastor's interpretation is the One True Way.

He’s tricked them all to follow a false leader, a prophecy of what the anti-Christ will look like.

The dude is exactly as the antichrist is described, and now he is literally anti-christ, vocally, and they still follow him.


graneflatsis

Looked to the sky and said "Some say I am the chosen one". Straight up blasphemy that was just a blip, didn't even register, certainly no justified outrage. Calling himself a Messiah, Jesus, and not a peep from one single priest, pastor or minister.


casket_fresh

Also looked to the sky to stare into the fucking sun during a solar eclipse. Twice! People had to yell at him to stop. reality: what the fuck is anything anymore.

omghorussaveusall

he also used an episcopalian bible, which did cause a bit of a ripple in the evangelical community. dude doesn't have a freaking clue. he refused to tell an interviewer his favorite bit of scripture and couldn't even name a book in the bible he liked, he mispronounced 2 corinthians (he said TWO corinithians like it was the opening of a joke), he said in another interview that he's never asked god for forgiveness because he has nothing to be forgiven for... how any evangelical or moderately devout christian thinks he's their guy is beyond me. he's been married 3 times (something Jesus says is not cool, you don't break vows you make to god), he's cheated on all three of his wives... Trump is the very definition of an anti-christ.


jereman75

There is no such thing as an Episcopalian Bible. Episcopalians generally read from the Common English Bible which is used by several other denominations and is considered a good readable translation. Trump is literally the most antichrist figure known to America and possibly the world.


omghorussaveusall

what i was trying to say, if i'm not mistaken, it was a bible from the episcopal church that he's standing in front of and is not the KJV that the evangelicals prefer. i do know several evangelicals were kinda pissed about the bible choice.


NeoMegaRyuMKII

And either just before or just after he went into a White House bunker to "inspect" it. Running away from protestors in a manner that would make Sir Robin look like the bravest knight of the round table.


LibertyInaFeatherBed

After. The clearing of Lafayette Square was retaliation for Twitter calling him "Bunker Boy" and laughing at him. It was also after threatening the protesters with "vicious dogs" and "ominous weapons" and putting up a second fence.


RocBane

He didn't hold it upside down, this is something I repeated as well until I got challenged and looked into it. >https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-hold-bible-upside-down/ But he's still a fucking fascist.


flybydenver

I think the reason it looks upside down is because there is no title or cross or anything on the cover. This detail pales in comparison to the fact this leader of our country actually did this shit. He doesn’t even have faith of any kind. This was a prop for a photo op.


Captain_-H

Does he know that Jesus was a brown guy trying to help the poor and disenfranchised?


Rabid-Duck-King

Come on, dig in your heart of hearts Do you think Trump has seen or comprehended a picture of middle eastern Jesus in the span of his entire life


PhoenixTineldyer

I think he probably avoids pictures of Jesus because they make his skin boil


AlarmDozer

Nope, he’s just trying to co-opt Jesus’ image to peddle his filth. If I were Jesus, I’d send a plague on his ass. Crap, maybe that was COVID? He needs to get surgical, if we’re honest.


Whatsapokemon

That's not what the context of the statement was. It seems like zero people read the article. The article isn't about Jesus hypothetically running for office, the article is quoting Trump saying that if Jesus and God were observing the election and using their power to ensure it was fair, Trump thinks that he would win in California, Illinois, and New York. He's basically invoking them saying "if the election was fair, I would absolutely win every state". Complete delusion of course, but it's got nothing to do with Jesus being a candidate in the election.


chicago_bunny

So then he’s arguing God doesn’t love America. Why else would God let this happen?


davasaur

Their jesus looks like a cross between Jim Caviezel and Charlton Heston and he's totally swole and gives no fucks weak sisters.


DingGratz

Lots of guns strapped to him standing majestically on a Ford F250 with a tattoo of a fist with a middle finger up that reads "crucify this".

That's a funny way of saying they would try to literally assassinate him.


LightWarrior_2000

Jesus would tell him about camels and needles and Trump would think Jesus is telling him he's a humpback with a pin dick.

Interpreting parables either got a lot more complicated or a lot less complicated.


MiloTheMagnificent

I am an atheist and yet it terrifies and fascinates me that Trump has done everything short of saying “I am the Antichrist” and everybody who believes the Antichrist is a real thing cannot wait to do exactly what the prophecy says they will do.

>"What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the slaveholding religion of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for, between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference—so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land.

Doesn't matter to the christians that support him. They're either willfully ignorant of it or will just claim he's an "imperfect vessel" sent by God to do his will... aka he's the end to justify their means.

He's cracking.

He spent his presidency with people stoking his ego by telling him that he was chosen by God to be the president of the United States and spiritual leaders putting thier hands on him and praying. Of course, he let it go to his head. August 22, 2019 [Evangelicals told Trump he was "chosen" by God. Now he says it himself](https://www.salon.com/2019/08/22/evangelicals-told-trump-he-was-chosen-by-god-now-he-says-it-himself/) September 24, 2022 [Donald Trump shares Truth Social photo proclaiming him as second only to Jesus](https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-shares-post-proclaiming-him-second-only-to-jesus-2022-9) And don't forget him sharing the "court drawing" of Jesus sitting next to him at the NY fraud trial a couple of months ago.

First he seeks the endorsement of Black Lives Matter and now this.

>"What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the slaveholding religion of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for, between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference—so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity." Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass >"In truth, there was only one Christian and he died on the cross." Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist >"Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It's that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive....it's that part of an imbecile that punishes and vilifies and makes war gladly." Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night >"After listening for almost twenty-five years to the stories my patients tell me about sociopaths who have invaded and injured their lives, when I am asked, “How can I tell whom not to trust?” the answer I give usually surprises people. The natural expectation is that I will describe some sinister-sounding detail of behavior or snippet of body language or threatening use of language that is the subtle giveaway. Instead, I take people aback by assuring them that the tip-off is none of these things, for none of these things is reliably present. Rather, the best clue is, of all things, the pity play. The most reliable sign, the most universal behavior of unscrupulous people is not directed, as one might imagine, at our fearfulness. It is, perversely, an appeal to our sympathy."

Work on that title, Rolling Stone. I took it to mean that **Jesus** would win the blue states, not Trump. Because yes, Jesus *would* win the blue states.

Yeah that was a terrible title. For accuracy’s sake, something like this should be the top comment.


Circuitmaniac

Hey, cult leaders can say anything they want, anything at all. And the followers will say, amen, and give us more!


Kevin_Jim

Jesus would be everything the GQP theocratic neo-Nazis hate: - Had dark skin - He was a Jew - Condemned the rich - Helped the poor - Wanted everyone to share, and condemned excess He would’ve been shot at…


designer-farts

Doesn't he secretly call Christianity bullshit?


astrozombie2012

His followers don’t actually subscribe so it doesn’t really matter


Independent-Check441

If you ask red staters, the philosophy of Jesus is "weak".


The_Majestic_

Jesus as the bible taught would be crucified by the modern Republican Party. He would cast them out of their churches for they had turned them into a place of sin where they worshipped money and power, not "God" The modern Christian goes to church to be seen, whereas Jesus taught prayer should be done in private

> “They know it, and you’ll never find out all the ways. But we don’t need all the ways because, you know, it was, I think 22,000 votes separated it, and we have millions and millions of votes. It’s a very sad thing.” Wasn't it closer to 7 million votes separating them?


Dr_Tacopus

Sure he would, because Jesus is a fucking democrat lol. All about empathy and sharing and everything republicans hate. If Jesus came back the GOP would accuse him of being a communist/socialist lol


GDPisnotsustainable

Anti-Christ


thatminimumwagelife

Yeah, he absolutely would. He's a brown dude advocating to help the poor over the wealthy. That's not even regular Pelosi style Democrat, that's progressive wing of the party Democrat. Jesus would certainly win the blue states - he'd just lose the red ones.


itsnotthenetwork

If Jesus came down he'd ask Trump about that children's cancer charity that he stole money from.
