Summary
President Trump posted an image Sunday evening on Truth Social depicting himself that many across the political spectrum protested as sacrilegious. One writer called the post “blasphemous” and “reprehensible.” Conservative pundit Carmine Sabia stated, “As a Christian, I’m offended by this, and I don’t know how any Christian would not be offended by this. There is only one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Mocking him is not OK.” Though the post has now been deleted, its caption claimed, “America has been sick for a long time. President Trump is healing this nation.” No, he’s not. But not for the reasons you might think.
