In a 1966 interview, John Lennon remarked that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," arguing that rock 'n' roll was surpassing Christianity in influence among youth. This comment, originally published in the London Evening Standard and later Datebook, caused massive controversy in the US, leading to record burnings, radio bans, and threats, forcing Lennon to clarify his words.
Some people learn from the mistakes of others, some repeat them in attempts to be glorious.
President Donald Trump is facing growing backlash after posting an image on his state-run propaganda Truth Social network depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure. The AI-generated image, which Trump quickly deleted after receiving tens of thousands of condemnations from the public, showed Trump appearing to heal a sick man in a hospital bed.
Trump said he thought the image was depicting him as a "doctor". Nobody believed that lame explanation.
The image post came hours after the president posted a scathing message criticising Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope from Chicago. Trump thinks he's "too liberal" and is not good for diplomacy. The world regards the Pope as the beacon of peace. No wonder Trump doesn't align with him!
Vice President J.D. Vance, a Catholic, downplayed Trump's ignorance saying “I think the President was posting a joke,” and. “Of course, he took it down because he recognized a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor"
Come on now Vance, really? "humor"... I've been to a lot of comedy shows, seen pretty much every comedy movie and TV series with lots of comedians. A lot of them have dressed as Jesus for a laugh but Trump is the president of the United States, he's literally killing thousands of people. Kind of hard to pivot from "Attack Attack Attack" to "A horse walks into a bar..." and "knock knock...".
No, Trump wasn't joking, he thinks he's a savior. To that we must ask does he really think if Jesus was a real person walking the Earth WOULD HE BE BOMBING PEOPLE?.
