In a big controversy earlier this week, Donald Trump posted a picture to Truth Social of himself as Jesus Christ, healing a man. After an outcry, the president deleted the post, later claiming that he had thought it was a picture of himself as a doctor.
Then, on Wednesday morning, Trump posted another Jesus-related picture on Truth Social, although this time it was of himself with Jesus, as opposed to as Jesus.
According to The Daily Beast, Trump posted a “deranged new Jesus picture” after the previous backlash.

But doesn’t it seem, with all these satanic, demonic, child sacrificing monsters being exposed… that God might be playing his Trump card!,” the post said.

The comparison seems to have been on Trump’s mind lately, possibly because his longtime spiritual adviser, Paula Cain-White, recently made the Trump/Jesus comparison explicit.
“Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price,” Cain-White said during a recent White House visit. “It almost cost you your life.
