Trump Compares His Struggles To Those Of Jesus Right Before Easter

On Saturday, Donald Trump shared an article on Truth Social titled "The Crucifixion Of Donald Trump." This came the day before Easter Sunday, and the article compared Donald Trump's "problems" to those of Jesus Christ from the Bible. The article made some pretty insane claims about Trump's struggles, and omitted the part where he brought all of this upon himself through years of skirting the law. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

So yesterday, of course, was Easter Sunday, and I hope everybody enjoyed the day, enjoyed some time with friends, family, whoever, however you spent it. But on Saturday, the day before Easter, which as we all know is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Um, on Saturday before that, uh, uh, very holy day, Donald Trump shared an article on truth social where he actually had compared himself to Jesus. Well, technically he didn't, but the article did, and Trump shared it. The article was called The Crucifixion of Donald Trump. Again, the day before Easter, the crucifixion of Donald Trump. And the article said this, one of the basic tenets of the law is determining who the victim is. There quite literally doesn't appear to be one in the New York case, but the judge rendered a guilty verdict. Anyway, the judge determined a penalty in the staggering amount of 455 million with interest.

Trump was told he had to pay 464 million within 30 days, regardless of whether he intended to appeal, if he failed to secure payments or a bond agreement, the, uh, to the amount New York would seize Trump owned properties, much like punches. Pilate tried to placate the mob by merely beating Jesus nearly to death. The judge relented by lowering the bond required to a poultry 175 million and gave Trump an additional 10 days to secure it. So yes, doddle Trump is just like Jesus Christ, and the judge is just like Pontius Pilate, right? Like, oh, well, what if I just do this instead? Poor Trump, just like Jesus getting up there on that cross to what? Save us from our sentences, because, you know, that's, that's actually what the Bible's about. You know, Jesus gave this ultimate sacrifice to, to save us from ourselves. Essentially, Donald Trump got in trouble for lying to banks and regulators for years so that he could put more money in his pocket.

Um, that, that's, that's almost, quite literally about as far away from Jesus Christ as you could get. And let's not even talk about the sacrilegious of this doing this, especially the day before Easter, the holiest of Christian holidays. But this is what we're dealing with. How can any religious person in this country, okay, after this past week of Donald Trump's selling $60 Bibles and then comparing himself to Jesus, how can any person that actually believes in religion look at this guy and be like, yep, that's my guy. I like him. I, I'm, I'm all in on this. Y'all are delusional. You are following the false prophet. I swear to God, you Christians haven't actually read the Bible, old or New Testament. Oh, I know you went to church on Sunday and you celebrated Donald Trump didn't. By the way, the guy who compared himself to

Jesus Christ, he wasn't in church. He wasn't out there celebrating the resurrection. No. He was out doing whatever the hell he want. He was on truth social ranting and raving like a crazy person about people who he hates. Jesus wouldn't do that. Jesus, uh, uh, Donald Trump is the kind of guy that Jesus would've thrown out of the temple, right? Remember when he tossed the money changers outta the temple and that violent scene from the Bible, the only time where Jesus actually lost his cool was against people like Donald Trump. And also, just as a point of reference, like there were no victims here. This person wrote, yeah, there were, there are verifiable monetary losses for the banks, for Donald Trump's lies.
