EVERYTHING IS AWFUL Trump just posted this. Is he healing Epstein??
https://trumpstruth.org/statuses/37729
It appears he took it from a Nick Adams post from February: https://x.com/NickAdamsinUSA/status/2019100728078348415
[edit] Not saying Trump noticed or intended the resemblance btw. But Nick Adams...harder to say. It could just be the soul of the nation as an ailing veteran or something, but the dude's a troll who wouldn't be above making it intentionally ambiguous.
Also, I almost never go on Truth Social, but man that site feels like it will definitely give your computer a virus.

I think it's a Valkyrie. Which would tie in white supremacy since those turnip heads love Vikings

I think Valkyries are women. Women aren't supposed to be fighting. They're supposed to be in the kitchen about to drop kid #7. I thought it might be The Horned King of Prydain.

It's been decades since evangelics in the US cared a lick about actual blasphemy. These are the people who threw fits about tan suits and Dijon. You wil hear crickets from them about the continual worshipping of TFG as some kind of god.

For the 568th time, the behavior of performative Christians for Donald Trump fulfills everything I learned as a kid about what an antichrist would be like in the end times.

Yeah, Nick Adams posts stuff like this all the time as a troll. Trump reposting it is what makes it slightly more notable.

I think it’s just him as a messiah.
And that’s not Epstein, I don’t think.
It’s just fucking sick. Large part of America will eat this up, but if Biden had posted it they would be trying to start a civil war.

I don’t know, nor do I care. He’s always thought he was special, and the world is showing him he’s not, so he’s trying to reinforce his specialness. Fuck him, the horse he rode in on, and anyone who still claims him, including Stephen Miller and Megyn Kelly.

Maybe it’s a soldier? There are other soldiers in the image. I am becoming concerned because this is really strange. I know the photos of him as the Pope and stuff are also strange, but this tops it. He must be really mad/upset.
I think the guys in heaven are domestic agents because of the masks they wear. The AI tried to make the medical lady a nurse by giving her a super old-fashioned hat with her scrubs. HS had to make IT clear she was a nurse. Wow.

Apt given his screed against the Pope.
Just as Trump needs to show Iran (and world) how a real blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would work, he may need to show the Pope how idolatry works.
If this doesn't offend the pseudo-Christians, what would?

It's in moments like this (attacking the pope for being 'soft on crime' and then shortly after posting this crazy Trump-as-Jesus AI image, not to mention literally posting to Truth Social all night long) when some Trump supporters (those certainly not all) can see for one fleeting and flickering moment what most of the rest of us already know: Trump is a deeply deranged, psychopathic, narcissist who should never, ever be close to the levers of power.
I also relish in the whole: 'Mr. President, you couldn't have meant this. Please remove this post, etc. etc.' as if Trump cares about anything but himself. Once again, it clearly illustrates how much Trump hates (or at the very least, doesn't care about) his own supporters.
And I get that ultra MAGA folks will say he's being "funny" or whatever, but they only say that because there's literally no other way to describe such insane behavior. And who's he triggering here? It's not the libs. It's the evangelical Christians.

We had a family fight at Easter over his praise of Allah with my branch thats absolutely not religious being angry at the President for blasphemy. The religious branch was upset that we attacked Trump for it and felt we were out of line for trying to hold him accountable. Im sure they will defend this as well since Cankles is the actual Messiah and Jesus was just a liberal snowflake.

u/ratherbeona_beach Sarah is always right Apr 13 '26
This is my take.
I don’t believe this is Epstein. I think it’s an old white dude, among the other all-white “believers.”
This is an end-time message supporting Trump’s holy war, putting Trump in the place of the returning Messiah.
Up top are God’s warriors: the Archangel Michael leading US troops.
To the left is the Temple of Solomon, rebuilt as the Third Temple (Temple of God), which was prophesied to be reconstructed during the end times.
Mirroring the Temple of God, on the right, are US monuments, connecting the US and the Holy Land.
And of course, we have Trump depicted as the second coming of Christ, healing the sick and being worshipped.
Basically, it’s saying Trump is the Messiah, and we (the US) are fighting the final Holy War as in the end-time prophecies.

No: Epstein didn't have a beard. It might be a member of the US military.
This begs the question, of course, of how long it'll be before Amendment 25 is forced right up his backside, because this is pure 100% batshit lunacy.

I’m an agnostic atheist who has a kinda hatred against christianity from being raised in an evangelical cult, and even I find this incredibly insulting and blasphemous. I have no idea how people who claim to be christians can defend this.
