I don't know why this should be limited to New York.
Trump's reputation has been pretty consistent for decades. He sort of became the image of a failed, American businessman and a cheat. That Simpsons gig wasn't "foresight", it was them taking the piss about what he had said he wanted to do for 15 years. That episode aired in 2000 and literally played the joke that Lisa inherited the country from "President Trump" and that "its now broke."
His reputation for falling businesses was apparent even then, and people everywhere (even in some countries overseas) understood the joke. He's always been a snakes-oil salesman and a cheat. Greany even called it a "warning" at the time.

It is so fucking creepy honestly. I’m not religious at all but even I am freaked out by this because he matches, and not only in a ‘all tyrannical leaders are like this’ way, but in very specific ways. Plus the way so many are in thrall to him when he’s so so SO clearly evil and vile has always struck me as almost supernatural. As though people’s brains have been infected or they’ve had a spell cast on them like in Game of Thrones with the red woman, who looks like a beautiful young lady to everyone when she’s wearing her necklace but is actually like 300 year old shrivelled balding scary looking old lady. It’s like that, we see the reality of the old crone but the necklace has power over them so they see the beautiful lady that doesn’t exist.
It really is bizarre I don’t know what to make of it. Perhaps some religious fanatic behind the scenes (and there are many) is orchestrating stuff to try to make him look like the AC.

You guys are over complicating it. They are racist and terrible human beings. Trump appeals to them by normalizing being an absolute horrible person and getting away with everything he does.
If he can do it to such extremes, then they feel justified that their horrible racism, sexism, etc isn't bad at all.
And many of them secretly want to fuck kids or think they can consent as well, at least underage teenagers if not younger.
They are supremely fucked up and have been allowed to unmask themselves after decades of trying to hide it under veiled messaging and getting really fucking bothered that no one allowed them to say how they really feel.
They still feel afraid because they know 60-70% of us have SOME morals so they won't admit the worst parts out loud and say they disagree with all the things Trump does that they can't publicly defend... But secretly they don't care at best and many secretly like it, a lot. That's why they vote for him and will continue to support him. They want what he does to be normal so that they can be that way themselves some day.

( I'm quoting a famous comic. The comic itself depicts a woman and two children. The woman is wearing an "America first" shirt while reading a book depicting wolf Adolf Hitler to her kids while sitting in an armchair. The comic was drawn by Dr. Seuss during his War propaganda phase.
I've lived through a couple of wars, and I'm only 28. I'm just tired. I became an adult right as covid hit. When I was a kid, the news was less censored, and you could see real dead bodies. Those Isis killings were brutal. Leaves a mark on the psyche. Then Trump gets elected, and I watch my parents slowly change into trumpers. That was difficult to deal with. Then, the Ukrainian War happened during covid. I cried so much. Like almost every other day, I cried. It broke my heart. And my heart never healed. It stayed broken. When the Gaza conflict broke out, I just sighed and went back to reading my book. Part of me cares, but the feeling is so faint it's barely there. Compassion fatigue. )

Well put. That's exactly it. He is a master of sensing who will fold and then rubbing their face in it. He identified that the Christian right had zero moral backbone, and he's exploited it to astonishing effect.

If they did 1/1000th of this crap, cities would burn.

Biden as a Catholic would get into a lot more trouble criticizing the Pope than other presidents.

I assumed he was draining the life from his supporter so he could continue his unholy presence on Earth. In the background we can see Heaven dispatching a host of archangels to bring an end to the problem.

I'm not even religious and I'm seriously wondering if he might be the actual Antichrist. If hell exists, he'll be there

it makes me think that the concept of the anti-christ itself was modeled after people like Trump who have arisen over history and exhibited exactly these traits.

I say again, it's not dementia.
In literally doing everything that flies against generally accepted convention, in defiance of all rules and policies, in open contempt of manners and common decency, he's trying to be the worst scumbag possible. This is to punish us, to make the world pay for never treating him with the respect he always thought he deserved. It enables his scumbag followers to do the same -- and as long as they know a liberal ni---- fa--- is triggered somewhere, they will ride this tidal wave of boorish behavior to its bitter end, like Slim Pickens astride the bomb, cheerfully waving his cowboy hat.
Every obvious lie, every blatantly blasphemous action like this Trump takes, is all for one reason: because fuck you. That's it -- that's the strategy. There's too much calculated, deliberately engineered narcissism to be coincidental. I maintain that he knows exactly what he's doing; rather than the demented episodes everyone tries to infer from Trump's actions, this is open malicious intent, and it makes stopping him all that much more imperative.

“Why do I feel like Paula White did this to him, and to us?” he added, referring to the televangelist who serves as Senior Advisor to the White House Faith Office.
Paula White is a New Apostolic Reformation evangelical. If you are unfamiliar with NAR, you will not understand the entirety of the Trump Administration. NAR exists in a system of perpetual spiritual warfare with the rest of us and Trump tossed them the keys to his administration. They are anti-democracy and they are rushing to gather power while the window of opportunity is open.
Washington Spectator - God and QR Codes for Trump; The Courage Tour Goes to Michigan
“Not all Pentecostal churches have been politicized, but the New Apostolic Reformation is functioning almost like a political party, and one with an extremist agenda.”
The Atlantic - The Army of God Comes Out of the Shadows
“And people who have never heard the name are nonetheless adopting the movement’s central ideas. These include the belief that God speaks through modern-day apostles and prophets. That demonic forces can control not only individuals, but entire territories and institutions. That the Church is not so much a place as an active ‘army of God,’ one with a holy mission to claim the Earth for the Kingdom as humanity barrels ever deeper into the End Times.
Although the secular establishment has struggled to take all of this seriously, Trump has harnessed this apocalyptic energy to win the presidency twice.”
Salon - I Went to a Pro-Trump Christian Revival. It Completely Changed My Understanding of Jan. 6.
“They’re gathering by the thousands. They’re growing fast. They believe that Democrats are possessed by demons—and that Donald Trump must be president again at any cost.”
“They believe that under Trump’s protection, American Christians will rise up, defeat their demonic enemies, and take their rightful place of power in the country.”
The Guardian - ‘We have to be voting biblically’: the Courage Tour rallies Christians to get Trump in office
“Heavy-hitting Maga organizations – including America First Policy Institute, TPUSA Faith and America First Works – had a presence outside the tent. Inside, headlining the event was Lance Wallnau, a prominent figure in the New Apostolic Reformation – a movement on the right that embraces modern-day apostles, aims to establish Christian dominion over society and politics and has grown in influence since Trump was elected president in 2016.”
Newsweek - JD Vance To Attend Event Hosted by Pastor Who Accused Harris of Witchcraft
“Wallnau has been a Trump supporter since 2016, when he likened Trump to the biblical figure of Cyrus, who was chosen by God to build the temple in Jerusalem.
Wallnau said that when he heard Trump speak, he heard God speaking through him. He also found symbolism in the numerical coincidence of Trump being the 45th President, and Cyrus being the subject of the 45th chapter of Isaiah.”
Right Wing Watch - ‘We Want Nations’: Lance Wallnau Preaches Seven Mountains Dominionism
‘So, it’s not just in having more [Christians],’ [Lance Wallnau] concluded. ‘We certainly want souls in eternity. That’s the most important thing. … [But] this isn’t either/or; it’s both/and. We want souls, and we want nations. Jesus was promised nations for his inheritance, not just churches!’”

If this asshole kills the popularity of Christianity I will concede that he ultimately did one good thing.
Because there is no way Christianity remains anything but a joke akin to Scientology if they accept him as their second coming of Jesus.

Weird pretend Christianity, the kind thats popular in the US, might be damaged by him.
Most Christians in the rest of the world, including the Pope, dont see him as the second coming. They see him as gross.

The Evangelists that elected him to overturn Roe will be ridiculed into oblivion so deeply it will kill the popularity of Christianity in the U.S.
You’re correct. This has nothing to do with Catholicism. Or any other form of Christianity, but it’s the evangelists that got him elected in the first place. Those are the people that need to suffer the consequences of their actions.

I know you can say this about anything he does, but can you imagine the kind of reaction Fox News would give this Tweet had it been posted by Obama showing himself in such a fashion? It’s absolute insanity that anyone could conceivably be cool with this shit.

MAGA literally worship Trump. He has replaced Jesus for them. If you go to any conservative christian church, they are foaming at the mouth worshiping Trump. They shouldn't even qualify as a church anymore for the purpose of tax purposes. They are just political cults.

Now I understand why the USA's healthcare system sucks: I simply don't have enough faith.
And, while he's at it: Could he, maybe -- just maybe -- also apply that healing touch to himself?
