That portrait is the apotheosis of bonkers. We are so screwed.

until people point out where it comes from beyond my adhd powered substack nothing will change. high profile people from say the Catholic or Anglican churches need to call it out and denounce it as blasphemy. because that it is what it is.

Absolutely. MAGA "christianity" is nothing of the sort.

Agreed. It is a kind of perverse transgression in the realm of the representations of the sacred.

if i were a Christian i would be deeply offended. the image is sacrilegious. If american christians accept trump as the new st. George or chief inquisitor then everyone is in trouble.

this is dangerous, blasphemous and shameful. but most people will be unaware of the symbolism or just leave it as a joke or kitsch trump art. this is the first portrait of him that has me genuinely concerned

Everything about Trump is blasphemous toward sacred things, not just in a religious sense. He made American soldiers kneel to a depraved autocrat. That rankled me even more, but, like you say, on thing is Substack and there is another reality where people are just not connecting with events, or only in a scattered way.
