This week Donald Trump openly expressed his delusional vision of himself<\/a><\/strong> in a meme posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, as a Jesus-like figure using his divine healing powers to cure a bedridden man. It was a depiction so offensive that he was eventually persuaded to delete it.<\/p>\n

However, Trump’s meme deletion didn’t extend to his still flaming megalomania. He later posted another picture of himself with Jesus putting his arm around him, as if they had the same close friendship that Trump had with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also lashed at out Pope Leo for daring to take a position against war and the killing of innocents. Then he sent his FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, out to deliver another punch to the Pope…<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, joined in the spiritual spat at a press conference on the Iran war to update the MAGA media hacks that Hegseth permits to attend these pseudo-news charades. At one point Hegseth interrupted himself to go on a bender about the media that he despises and can’t stop complaining about. He whined…<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what side some of you are actually on. It’s incredibly unpatriotic.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It sounds like Hegseth spends way too much time watching television. And his viewing habits seem to consist mainly of hate-watching news programs that aren’t wholly worshipful of Trump. Plus, he seems to think that it is unpatriotic to report the truth and that the press is supposed to be uncritical of Dear Leader. Perhaps he would be more comfortable with the media in North Korea. But he was just getting started. He continued with a retelling of a biblical story that he allegedly heard in church on Sunday, saying that…<\/p>\n

“Jesus entered a synagogue and healed a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees came to watch…they witnessed a literal miracle. It didn\u2019t matter to them. They were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda…Our press are like these Pharisees.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
