WTAF

I'm having trouble posting screen shots of the response from Allie Beth Stuckey, responding to this.  I'll try to post at some point, but she's just one of the conservatives who's criticizing Trump for this.

If the picture doesn’t post, I’ll fix it later.

But what in the hell is Trump doing posting a picture of him as Jesus?

Every time he does something that could be considered positive, he does something stupid like this.

His “excuse” is incredibly stupid as well.

Glenn E. Chatfield said...

I think he was mocking the pope.

Craig said...

The excuse I heard was that he thought it looked like a Dr.

Given that the pope wears some pretty identifiable outfits, and none of them look like the pic, I’m not sure I’m buying that.

In any case, it’s just one more example of Trump doing something stupid, and not particularly important, which gives his enemies more ammunition.

Marshal Art said...

None of the links opened for me here. Sounds like something of no consequence.

Craig said...

I got rid of them.

Given the recent comparison of Trump to Jesus, then Trump portraying himself as a Jesus like figure, I guess I can see why it wouldn’t bother you. Call me crazy, but I’ve got a thing about people trying to portray themselves as Jesus, but that’s just me.

You’ve always been much more tolerant of these stupid episodes than others. That’s your prerogative.

Craig said...

The gist of what I’m trying to post is that it is perfectly fine to think that this post is stupid, and that Trump was a better choice than Harris. Also that Trump has has the Gospel shared with him multiple times and that might mean that Trump isn’t one of Jesus’ “sheep who hear His voice”.

Glenn E. Chatfield said...

Has Trump heard the TRUE Gospel, though? With heretics for advisors?

Craig said...

Given some of the people who have had the opportunity, I’d suggest that he probably has. He’s chosen heretics which seems to support the non sheep theory.

Marshal Art said...

Thank you. I'll continue to exercise my prerogative in the same way you do yours...such as your belief that I'm tolerant of his unnecessary nonsense. That's not the case. I just don't get worked up about that which has no significant impact on anything...aside from the overly sensitive feelings of those who aren't keen on the guy in the first place. Should he refrain from such? Of course he should, even if NO ONE cared. Is he likely to ever show such restraint? I doubt it. It ain't his style, but it's absolutely harmless and not worthy of pearl clutching.

Dan Trabue said...

Is it stupid? Or just another rather obvious signed of significant mental disorders?

Open your eyes. It's well past time for the 25th amendment to be invoked. You all would be livid if a Democrat were doing all of this crazy, authoritarian, delusions of grandeur talk... and rightly so. The man is disordered and out of control and has been for some time.

But the only way to stop it is for his defenders (ie, you all - the ones who keep voting for him and dismissing his crazy and authoritarian behaviors as "well, he's just being weird... he's just being Trump") to join the rest of the rational world and saying, "This is all too much. Impeach him. Invoke the 25th amendment, remove him by the means we have available and hold this sick person accountable for his craziness and crimes."

But as long as you all keep laughing and shrugging it off, he continues in power because the Kool Aid is powerful in a huge minority in this nation.

Craig said...

Thanks for making my point.

Craig said...

Coming from someone who refused to acknowledge Biden’s obvious mental decline, this is even stupider that Trump's stupidity.

That I’m not laughing or shrugging it off seems to have eluded you.

As we watched Biden visibly and publicly decline, we didn’t spend nearly as much time calling for him to be removed as you do for Trump to be removed.

If you want to blame someone for Trump winning, start with the abject failure of the DFL to acknowledge Biden’s decline, to continue to insist that he was the very best candidate, then to foist Harris on the electorate without a single primary vote being cast for her.

Craig said...

Biden told the same lies in speech after speech for decades and you never once suggested that he had mental problems or was unfit for office. But I do like the idea of elevating Vance and allowing him the advantage of running as an incumbent in’28. Good plan.

Craig:

Also Craig:

"Stupid," IS shrugging it off, as if it were just another silly little thing that your little president is done. "That's SO Donnie!"

This is not stupid, in combination with all his other incredibly irrational behaviors, it's insanity, it's delusion, it's time (past time) to talk about removal, not that he's a silly little boy-man. You all use "mental problems" and "unfit for office" language about Biden but don't use it for the even more off-kilter president you keep voting for. And yes, I DID support Biden being forced off the ticket and replaced with Harris. You can't ignore reality or claim that reality doesn't exist. AND I supported someone besides him being the candidate early on.

Does it not register with you that most of the things you say about what I've done or said are not in the realm of reality?

Craig said...

I’m impressed, Dan has magical turned my post specifically about criticizing Trump for one more stupid thing, into something else entirely. What an amazing feat.

That you have to invent an entire narrative as if you magically read my thoughts leads me to wonder who has the problem here.

By all means, prove your claim about removing Biden, otherwise stop with the BS.

If you can’t prove that I’m wrong about something, that’s your problem. Simply making unproven claims is nothing.

Craig said...

Just because you don’t like Trump’s policies or how he acts isn’t grounds to retroactively overturn an election. As noted, you didn’t see us calling for Biden to be removed from office, we waited for the election like normal people.

But I appreciate your zeal to give Pence the incumbency advantage.

Marshal Art said...

Which point was that? The one in your comment below from 4/13 @ 6:24 PM?

Marshal Art said...

This showed up in an email from The Blaze today. Likely it won't be satisfying to those who spend so much time focusing on and/or inflating Trump's flaws and missteps, which I'll continue to insist are insignificant and not worth the time of day until such time that a specific misstep is.

Craig said...

My point that you will be much
more tolerant and accepting of stupid things Trump does.

Craig said...

I already mentioned this. Drs don’t wear robes with angels behind them.

It was a stupid thing to post, a stupid excuse for the post, and Christians are justifiably upset about this and the earlier comparison to Jesus.

My bad for expecting a president of the US to not post stupid shit on social media. It’s an absurdly high standard, but…

Art,

Would you post a picture of yourself as a Jesus like figure on social media?

If you wanted to generate an AI picture of yourself helping people, as a doctor, wouldn’t you have included the word doctor in your prompt?

When it came out looking like Jesus wouldn’t you have tried another prompt?

It’s ok to admit that Trump does stupid shit and that the stupid shut he does makes it more difficult for him than it has to be. The “People are going to shit on him anyway so who cares.” excuse is ridiculous.

You know as well as I do how you’d have responded if Biden or P-BO had done this.

We get it, we know, you aren’t going to convince anyone, let it go.
