Trump posted an image depicting himself as the pope, with the Vatican's conclave to select the next leader of the Catholic Church to begin May 7.

      Dude REALLY wants to be the anti-Christ, and the “Christians” that put him in office want that too. They think they’ll be rewarded for putting their fellow humans(& the planet) through hell, and bringing on the end-of-days sooner, rather than later.

      As a former Christian, It’s been SO hard keeping my non-faith while actively living at the same time as the Anti-Christ.

    Trump, that’s not how it works.

    Just because you ordered Vance to assassinate that old man doesn’t mean you’re the Pope. Vance, as his slayer, is the Pope now, so you have to kill Vance.

    What did it say that the president of the USA is non-stop pulling attention seeking stunts like your crazy aunt on Facebook? Guess it must be lonely being surrounded by sycophants.

    If Obama had made a stupid meme dressed as the pope, “Christians” would have burned the White House to the ground, it would have literally started a war. Its absolutely INSANE to me how much this man gets away with. He’s right, you really can do anything when you’re rich.

          It’s really as simple as Trump hating the right people. He hates the same people that his voters hate and because of that he can get away with almost anything. Trump voters have been waiting a long time for a president that will openly and unapologetically spew hatred. They ignore the fact he is a narcissistic lying idiot who does not stand for almost anything religious people claim they care about.

          I think with Biden they would have been pissed and took to the internet and Fox News about it, but the pure hatered for Obama was something that people are very easily forgetting these days. People legitimately believed he was the Anti-Christ and a Muslim. They would have actually rioted in the streets.

            Sure I get that loads of people really hated Obama for lots of reasons. I sincerely don’t think this is a racial thing though: it’s a tribal thing, us vs them. Republicans are perceived as being on the side of Christianity (us) so they are given a lot more leeway in these matters, where Democrats (them) are the enemy of Christianity and every slight however small must be countered in the strongest possible terms (see: ‘the war on Christmas’ and other stupid shit.)

            Would the outrage have been greater if it was Obama instead of Biden? Absolutely, I’m not questioning that at all. I’m just saying don’t think there wouldn’t be outrage against Biden just because he’s not black.

    I think he wants to put the idea out there that he could “step in” as pope if needed.
