It was almost funny—grotesque, but funny—to watch and hear all those delusional MAGHATS trying to rationalize and otherwise explain away that “Jesus Trump” AI-generated photo posted on Truth Social by Dementia Don.

We’ve all seen the picture by now, even though Diaper Boy took it down. It depicted President Inepstein as Jesus, apparently trying to coax an unidentified dead man (it eerily resembled one Jeffrey Epstein) back to life.

The Lord of Mar-A-Lardo attempted to explain it all away by saying, without much conviction, that he had been under the impression that the photo depicted him as a physician, not Jesus.

That’s pretty counterintuitive, even for a master prevaricator such as Agent Orange. Surely, he doesn’t believe anyone is naïve enough to buy into that B.S.

Well, maybe his most devoted followers will somehow twist themselves into knots in an effort to bend so obvious a preposterous explanation into some kind of logic.

And just for fun, this would seem to be a far more appropriate post for El Trumpo:

And while TACO Don’s version is hilarious on its face, it doesn’t approach the duplicity of one Ralph Reed, that sanctimonious “Christian” conservative who sits on Trump’s faith advisory board and who once served as leader of the Christian Coalition.

It was Ralph Reed who came charging in to defend Cadet Born Spurs over the Jesus picture by saying to ASSOCIATED PRESS, and I quote: “There is a deep reservoir of appreciation for the president and his faith-based policies that transcends and eclipses any disagreement over a social media post,”

I’m not entirely sure what “reservoir of appreciation” even means in this bit of word salad but it’s pretty evident that Ralph Reed is attempting in some tortured way to normalize El-Krazy Presidente’s thinking it was a good idea to try and pass himself off as the Great Physician—as opposed to some garden variety sawbones. It must have cramped his tongue horribly to form those words.

You see, Ralph Reed has a rather embarrassing history with one Jack Abramoff that flies in the face of everything the Christian Coalition and its Bible-waving members hold dear. In fact, Reed is the poster child for deception, duplicity and hypocrisy that would make ol’ Beelzebub his own self proud.

Thaaaat’s right. When Abramoff, Repugnantcan operative Grover Norquist, lobbyist Michael Scanlan—and by association, House majority leader Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas)—contrived to rip off Native Americans to the tune of $85 million, AT LEAST $4 MILLION was laundered through the Alabama Christian Coalition with other money routed through Norquist’s organization, Americans for Tax Reform. The money came directly from gaming interests in Mississippi from the Choctaw Nation ostensibly to oppose the expansion of gambling in Alabama which could conceivably hurt the Choctaw’s casino revenue source.

So, what we had was the anti-gambling Christian Coalition of Alabama unknowingly receiving money from Mississippi gambling interests to be used to fight the expansion of gambling in Alabama. And for his participation, Ralph Reed received A $20,000 PER MONTH RETAINER FOR HIS SERVICES.

Slick, huh?

Of course, the Choctaw and Coushatta tribes weren’t the only Native Americans these God-fearing Christians screwed over. They found victims among tribes in Michigan, Texas, California, Washington State and Louisiana, among others. Like junkies, once they smelled the addictive aroma of money, they were unable to stop.

In 2002, Abramoff came to consider Reed as competition and CUT HIM OFF from his secret source of income. Abramoff told Scanlon in an email, “He (Reed) is a bad version of us! No more money for him.”

Abramoff and Scanlon eventually went to prison for their scam while Norquist went on to push his anti-tax agenda (including LOUISIANA DURING THE JINDAL TRAGEDY). Reed, meanwhile went on to gain victories for the Repugnantcan Party with his Bible-thumping for conservative principles schtick.

Even, in Ralph Reed’s case, to wheedling himself into position where he could try and justify a social media photo posted by a deranged POTUS that characterized him as Jesus Christ.
