Donald Trump Compares Himself To Jesus Christ On Social Media

On Monday, amidst his numerous trials, Donald Trump compared himself to Jesus Christ on social media.

Trump was in a Manhattan court on Monday for the hush money trial that grew out of payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels who had an alleged affair with him. At the time of the affair, Trump’s then-attorney Michael Cohen paid Daniels to stay quiet before Trump’s 2016 presidential election.

Trump also faces a $454 million fine for the civil fraud case brought on by Attorney General Letitia James. Judge Arthur Engoron gave Trump 30 days from the official order to pay the bond, with March 25 as the deadline, or have his assets seized.

With Trump unable to pay the bond on time, James has already begun the process for seizing his properties.

On the social media site Truth Social, Trump posted a message he allegedly received from a supporter. The message compares Trump’s criminal trials to the crucifixion of Christ, noting the overlap of the two events this week.

“Received this morning—Beautiful, thank you!” Trump opened the post. He then wrote the quote he received.

“It’s ironic that Christ walked through His greatest persecution the very week they are trying to steal your property from you. But have you seen this verse…?”

The post includes Psalm 109:3-8, ending with, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office,” with several American flag emojis, a possible reference to the 2024 presidential election.

The post ended with, “I’m praying this over you daily. So many praying for you. Thank you again for taking the arrows intended for us. We love you.”

Trump’s legal team tried to delay the hush money trial, but on Monday, the judge ruled that it would start on April 15. Trump’s team tried to prevent Daniels and Cohen from testifying but the judge also rejected that request.

A New York appeals court has also approved an extension on the collection of the $454 million bond if Trump can pay $175 million in 10 days.
