He Posted a Picture of Himself as Jesus and Then Said It Was a Doctor Costume

Alright, sit down. I got a good one for you today.

So on Easter Sunday — Easter Sunday, mind you — the President of the United States posts a picture on his little social media website. It’s one of those AI-generated things. And in it, he’s dressed up in robes, healing a sick man. There’s a nurse looking at him all starry-eyed, soldiers standing around like they’re watching the Second Coming, bald eagles, fighter jets, the whole nine yards. The man made himself Jesus. On Easter.

Now I’ve been serving coffee in this town for a long time, and I’ve seen men with big opinions about themselves. Guys who tip two dollars on a forty-dollar tab and think they’re generous. But I have never in my life seen a man look at a painting of Jesus Christ and think, “Yeah, that’s me.”

His own people couldn’t even back him up on this one. Conservative commentators — the ones who usually defend him if he set the building on fire — called it “gross blasphemy.” One of his biggest cheerleaders from the Daily Wire said it was “OUTRAGEOUS.” These are people who have swallowed a lot of nonsense for this man and even they couldn’t get this one down.

So what does he do? He deletes it. Fine. But then reporters ask him about it, and he says — and I need you to hear this — he says he thought the picture was of him as a doctor.

A doctor.

Honey, the man was wearing robes. Biblical robes. There were angels in the background. He was literally laying hands on a sick person like he was about to say “rise and walk.” But sure. A doctor.

This is the same week he called Pope Leo XIV — the first American pope, by the way — “WEAK on Crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy” because the pope had the nerve to say maybe we shouldn’t destroy an entire civilization. The pope said he wasn’t afraid of the Trump administration. Said he’d keep speaking out for peace. And the President responded by posting himself as the Messiah.

I don’t know what kind of doctor wears sandals and a halo, but I guess that’s between him and his physician.
