From Heather Cox Richardson's "Letters from an American" comes the latest example of the cancer on the Presidency.

Today is Orthodox Easter, and about 45 minutes after attacking the Pope, Trump posted an image of himself in the place of Jesus, apparently healing a sick man in a bed, surrounded by a soldier, a nurse, a woman praying, and an older man. Behind him are the Statue of Liberty, the Lincoln Memorial, and a giant American flag, while in the sky are two eagles, three fighter jets, soldiers, and what seems to be a monster.

Amid popular revulsion at what people are calling heresy and blasphemy, former U.S. representative Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote: “It’s more than blasphemy. It’s an Antichrist spirit.”

A minute after posting the image of himself as Jesus, Trump posted an image of a Trump tower on the moon.

While I agree that the Felon is ill, I don't think this is indicative. He substituted himself for a possibly-mythical (I don't happen to think he's mythical, but it's possible) wandering rabbi. Many people who revere that wandering rabbi are arguably ill, IMO, choosing to believe many things we know simply aren't true (or moral, though that is a bit more subjective).

Regardless, I support the freedom of expression that is blasphemy.

It will be an interesting test how much evangelical/xian support he'll lose. I'm guessing none.
