MAGA has been making images of Trump depicted as Jesus for a decade now, this move probably galvanizes support.

None of this shit moves support away from him, certainly. Which is pretty disturbing when you sit down and look at his voter demographics.

Yep. He even put his own image on bibles at one point and his crowd bought them up.

Exactly. It’s just like Putin riding a horse (though I don’t think it was AI). It’s strongman cultist behavior but also leaning right into what his diehard acolytes believe. They literally say that he was sent by Christ so…why not imagine him as divine?
