(New fake-Catholic and anti-Christ enthusiast J.D. "The Closer" Vance jumped in to fawn as his senile authoritarian boss attacked the much-more-popular head of the Catholic church, which claims membership of 1.4 billion worldwide, but which Vance uses as a convenient booster-handle up the rungs of power while he marginalizes his own wife's religious beliefs.)

“Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life,” Leo said in thinly veiled commentary on the direction of the Iran war, and the leaders of the US and Israel who control it.

“In some cases it would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality, to stick to matters of what’s going on in the Catholic church," said Vance.

The backlash to Trump’s posting of the AI-generated image, however, clearly resonated at the White House, which took the post down after a furious response from some of the president’s most fervently Christian supporters. One called the image “disgusting and unacceptable”, and another accused Trump of “outrageous blasphemy”.

At a White House event on Monday, Trump took credit for posting the image, and claimed he was portraying himself as a doctor and not a religious healer, despite his caricature wearing religious-style robes and a person at a fictional patient’s hospital bed with their hands clasped together in prayer.

Vance insisted Trump alone made the decision to remove the post, and not because of the criticism it received.

“The president was posting a joke, and of course he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor,” he said.

“[He] likes to mix it up on social media. One of the good things about this president is that he’s not filtered, he doesn’t send everything through a communications professional. He actually reaches out directly to the people.” —The Guardian

That's why the people love him like no president has ever been loved before! If you don't believe it, just look at any poll anywhere! He's got numbers like nobody has ever seen. Stalin and Mao and Hitler would kill for numbers like that——and so does Trump!
