Trump and my father – are twins! He an my mother created a Superman experiment, where my old brother was raised to be The New Nazi. I was….The Designated Family Jew, who drew a prophetic comic…My Christ Complex!
EXTRA! I just noticed the bump on my forehead that Mark Presco touched up in a pic taken when I was eleven. I now get it…..It was my older brother who would attack me and bang my head on the floor. I would cry. When our mother came running, Mark stopped, and lied. He that I was hitting my head against the wall. Then she caught him – and beat his head on the floor, saying;
“How does it feel when someone does this to you?”
The story was changed to protect both brothers from the trauma, and truth, Mark was evil! I’m not being told if he is dead, lest my fear fade – and I recall! Mark is an evil spirit that was glad to be born with these genes – so he could rule half the world again? But, here I come a year later to thwart his plans. He was pissed – till his dying day! I now believe he went after Christine for exposing him!
I am Able – who came back to life to protect my sisters! Mark and Trump own Twin Dark Souls!

Chapter Two – Who Got The Football?
After telling her infamous story about slamming my head on the floor in order to make me stop hitting my head on the wall, Rosemary went into her epic tale about our father giving my brother, Mark, the paints, and – I the football! That’s Mark being forced to put his arm around his baby brother. This is 1949, and I am three years old. I believe it is Easter, because I see a Easter Egg basket in his hand. I do not have one because Victor hated to buy us toys, and if he was forced to do so because it was that time of the year, then we had to share the one precious gift. When Rosemary brought me home from the hospital, my brother had a conniption fit. He threw himself on the floor and started banging his head.

At other points in the 2016 campaign, Trump said that he had never asked God for forgiveness, effectively revealing that he had never practiced a basic pillar of Christian faith.
“I have great relationship with God. I have great relationship with the Evangelicals,” Trump said in an interview with CNN shortly before the 2016 Iowa caucuses.
“I like to be good. I don’t like to have to ask for forgiveness. And I am good. I don’t do a lot of things that are bad. I try to do nothing that is bad,” Trump said.

Preacher Jim Wallis warned fellow pastors this week of former President Donald Trump‘s “takeover” of the Christian church.

“I’m very worried about how the faith factor could be this white Christian nationalism which is idolatrous…it means false worship,” Wallis said. “Trump is a sacrilege, he is a blasphemer, all that’s true, but I don’t want to keep talking about his idolatry.”
“A lot of pastors would like to find the true story again. Some have been a part of the political takeover…the political takeover of the church. This is a right-wing political takeover of the church,” Wallis, who worked with former President Barack Obama‘s administration, said.
Newsweek reached out to Trump’s spokesperson via email for comment.
Harvard Guys and Anti-Semitic Jesus
Posted on January 3, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
After watching a interview with Donald Trump in 1986, I began my cartoon book ‘My Christ-Complex. Being a Original Hippie I saw that – we had our day. Not only did the Yuppies move in on our turf – the Christian-right was on the rise. What if these two aspect of the ACW (American Culture Wars) merged into one person, and, he was The Expected Messiah when young, but becomes The President Dictator – who is arrested for fraud! WHAT? You say – the ftuure?
Yes
In this cartoon WE SEE FOUR HARVARD GRADUATES, thee of them representing The Harvard Wise Guys come to see Joseph’s new baby! I put my cartoon on the walls of Serenity Lane as part of my graduation from the New Hope Program. My fiend, Nancy Hamren was there! Above is a pic of HG Ed Corbin (Harvard Guy) entering Serenity Lane. Ed is sitting next to HG Mark Gall at the premiere of his sons film. I took the pic of Nancy Hamren talking with Ken Babbs.
What is becoming clear, Mark is working on his autobiography and is playing God. He covertly wants to come out – ON TOP! His wife became a Christian Scientists, and Gall wants more Jesus-Folk in his orbit – and way less Hippies! I have to take a week off to arrange our e-mails where I try to explain a group of scribes changed Jesus into a Anti-Semite, beginning with moving him out of a Sukkot booth, into a a filthy-manger with urine soaked wood.
My Christ-Complex is the most prophetic cartoon – ever! Here is PROOF I am a prophet! I dropped out of High School!

The Context:
During the 2016 and 2020 elections, Trump received crucial support from white Evangelical Christians. He secured a formidable alliance with White evangelical Christians, who gravitated toward him for his stance on religious freedom and abortion.
Trump held a rally in Iowa in January, where Pastor Joel Tenney delivered an opening prayer and spoke about the need to vote for the former president in the next election.

“We have witnessed a sitting president weaponize the entire legal system to try and steal an election and imprison his leading opponent, Donald Trump, despite committing no crime,” Tenney said, according to NBC News. “We must re-elect President Trump for the third time.”
What We Know:
Last month, a Fox News poll found Trump slightly losing support from white evangelicals to President Joe Biden. The poll found 28 percent of white evangelical voters siding with Biden in the 2024 presidential race, up from 23 percent in October.
According to the poll, 68 percent of white evangelical voters sided with Trump in the 2024 election. While Trump was still ahead overall, the poll showed support for Biden increasing.
Trump recently announced that he would be selling Bibles published by country singer Lee Greenwood.
Views:
In a recent piece written by Wallis for the Daily Beast, he accused Trump of “idolatry” and “heresy.”
“Are Donald Trump’s white evangelical followers really ready to own up to their chosen party’s plans to suppress the voting rights of their Black and brown brothers and sisters in Christ—even at Black churches as polling places?” he wrote.

What’s Next:
Support from white evangelicals and other Christian groups is crucial for the upcoming presidential election. Biden still has a large hold on this base despite Trump’s influence.

The Church of Trump: How He’s Infusing Christianity Into His Movement
Ending many of his rallies with a churchlike ritual and casting his prosecutions as persecution, the former president is demanding — and receiving — new levels of devotion from Republicans.

Long known for his improvised and volatile stage performances, former President Donald J. Trump now tends to finish his rallies on a solemn note.
Soft, reflective music fills the venue as a hush falls over the crowd. Mr. Trump’s tone turns reverent and somber, prompting some supporters to bow their heads or close their eyes. Others raise open palms in the air or murmur as if in prayer.
In this moment, Mr. Trump’s audience is his congregation, and the former president their pastor as he delivers a roughly 15-minute finale that evokes an evangelical altar call, the emotional tradition that concludes some Christian services in which attendees come forward to commit to their savior.
“The great silent majority is rising like never before and under our leadership,” he recites from a teleprompter in a typical version of the script. “We will pray to God for our strength and for our liberty. We will pray for God and we will pray with God. We are one movement, one people, one family and one glorious nation under God.”

The meditative ritual might appear incongruent with the raucous epicenter of the nation’s conservative movement, but Mr. Trump’s political creed stands as one of the starkest examples of his effort to transform the Republican Party into a kind of Church of Trump. His insistence on absolute devotion and fealty can be seen at every level of the party, from Congress to the Republican National Committee to rank-and-file voters.
Mr. Trump’s ability to turn his supporters’ passion into piety is crucial to understanding how he remains the undisputed Republican leader despite guiding his party to repeated political failures and while facing dozens of felony charges in four criminal cases. His success at portraying those prosecutions as persecutions — and warning, without merit, that his followers could be targeted next — has fueled enthusiasm for his candidacy and placed him, once again, in a position to capture the White House.

‘He’s definitely been chosen by God’
Mr. Trump has long defied conventional wisdom as an unlikely but irrefutable evangelical hero.
He has been married three times, has been repeatedly accused of sexual assault, has been convicted of business fraud and has never showed much interest in church services. Last week, days before Easter, he posted on his social media platform an infomercial-style video hawking a $60 Bible that comes with copies of some of the nation’s founding documents and the lyrics to Lee Greenwood’s song “God Bless the U.S.A.”
But while Mr. Trump is eager to maintain the support of evangelical voters and portray his presidential campaign as a battle for the nation’s soul, he has mostly been careful not to speak directly in messianic terms.

“This country has a savior, and it’s not me — that’s someone much higher up than me,” Mr. Trump said in 2021 from the pulpit at First Baptist Church in Dallas, whose congregation exceeds 14,000 people.
Still, he and his allies have inched closer to the Christ comparison.
Last year, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican and a close Trump ally, said both the former president and Jesus had been arrested by “radical, corrupt governments.” On Saturday, Mr. Trump shared an article on social media with the headline “The Crucifixion of Donald Trump.”
He is also the latest in a long line of Republican presidents and presidential candidates who have prioritized evangelical voters. But many conservative Christian voters believe Mr. Trump outstripped his predecessors in delivering for them, pointing especially to the conservative majority he installed on the Supreme Court that overturned federal abortion rights.
Mr. Trump won an overwhelming majority of evangelical voters in his first two presidential races, but few — even among his rally crowds — explicitly compare him to Jesus.

Instead, the Trumpian flock is more likely to describe him as a modern version of Old Testament heroes like Cyrus or David, morally flawed figures handpicked by God to lead profound missions aimed at achieving overdue justice or resisting existential evil.
“He’s definitely been chosen by God,” said Marie Zere, a commercial real estate broker from Long Island who attended the Conservative Political Action Conference in February outside Washington, D.C. “He’s still surviving even though all these people are coming after him, and I don’t know how else to explain that other than divine intervention.”
For some of Mr. Trump’s supporters, the political attacks and legal peril he faces are nothing short of biblical.
“They’ve crucified him worse than Jesus,” said Andriana Howard, 67, who works as a restaurant food runner in Conway, S.C.
Bible Thumper In Chief
Posted on June 3, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
Trump used Jesus, the Military, and the Police to create images that he hoped would win him another term. Captain Victim has sparked outrage among true Christians and Real Church Leaders. I predicted this was coming. I was made out to be insane! It is uncanny that my computer froze right after I posted on the Sunset Strip Riot on May 12. Is ‘The Son of Man’ holding the Bible upside down? So full of wisdom – NOT!
Is Trump replicating the scene his favorite artist rendered? He gives a nod to neo-Confederate Gun Grunts that he sees as his Pretorian Guard.
Hail Caesar!

The Passion of Trump
Breaking: Pentagon chief says he does not support the use of active-duty military forces to quell unrest, breaking with Trump
In response to unrest related to the death of George Floyd, President Trump threatened to use active-duty military on U.S. streets, which would require the invocation of the Insurrection Act to give U.S. troops arrest powers and other law-enforcement authorities.“The option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations,” Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Wednesday. “We are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act.”
After a week of increasingly violent unrest in the United States, peace largely prevailed on Tuesday night. Brutal clashes between police and the public seemed to subside, and there were only sporadic reports of looting and other mayhem across the nation.
Still, the night was filled with tension in major cities where tens of thousands of protesters defied curfews to express outrage over racism and police brutality following the death of yet another a black man in police custody.
In Washington, which has been swarmed by a federal force, officers near the White House sprayed an irritant and fired pepper balls at protesters, who responded with shouts and fireworks. A similar late-night scene played out in Portland, Ore.
In Los Angeles, demonstrators massed outside the mayor’s residence and demanded the firing of the city’s police chief. And in New York, which is under curfew for the first time in 77 years, hundreds of protesters walked across the Manhattan Bridge and were met by a police blockade.
Here are some significant developments:
- President Trump disputed reports that he was rushed to an underground bunker during protests outside the White House on Friday night, asserting he went down earlier in the day “more for an inspection.”
- Pope Francis urged people not to “tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form” and called for “national reconciliation and peace.”
- The monument to a notorious Philadelphia mayor and top cop, which became a flash point of the city’s protests, was quietly removed before the sun rose Wednesday.
- The mother of George Floyd’s daughter said she explained his death by telling the 6-year-old that her father couldn’t breathe.
- Former president Barack Obama is scheduled Wednesday to make his first on-camera comments about the death of Floyd and the nationwide protests.

Less than 24 hours after Los Angeles police chief Michel Moore sparked outrage by saying that Goerge Floyd’s blood is on rioters’ hands “as it is on those officers,’” he faced unanimously angry, and often profane criticism from residents at an online meeting of the L.A. Police Commission.
Of the incident that sparked the protests, the death of Floyd after his arrest by Minneapolis police, Moore said of rioters on Monday, “His death is on their hands, as much as it is on those officers.’”
“I misspoke when I said his blood was on their hands,” said Moore, “but certainly their actions do not serve the enormity of his loss. After the press conference, as outrage mounted, the chief issued a cascade of new apologies, at least three in the next few hours.

Is Donald ‘The Son of Man’?
Posted on June 3, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
I have never been able to discover what the title ‘Son of Man’ meant. Perhaps our President should call for a Great Tribunal so that we may know the answer to this and other riddles.

Matthew 12:38-42, Mark 8:11-13, Luke 11:29-32Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_man_(Christianity)
WASHINGTON — In the past 24 hours, President Donald Trump has made two visits to Christian religious sites. On Monday, Trump visited an historic church near the White House, and on Tuesday he laid a wreath at a shrine in honor of Saint Pope John Paul II.
Both events offered Trump an opportunity to highlight his administration’s support for Christians in the United States and around the world, long a priority for the president, who won 81% of white evangelical Protestant voters in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump’s 2020 reelection effort has already created at least two campaign advisory boards specifically aimed at shoring up Trump’s support among Christians: Evangelicals for Trump launched on Jan. 3, and Catholics for Trump on Apr. 2.
Nonetheless, both of Trump’s visits to Christian sites this week were fraught with controversy.
Rather than garner praise from prominent Christians, both events drew condemnation from the leaders of their respective denominations. They accused Trump of using holy spaces as political props.
They also objected to Trump’s demand that police and soldiers crack down on protests that have erupted across the nation in response to the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25.
St. John’s Church
The more controversial of Trump’s two visits was on Monday night. At around 6:30 p.m., riot police and military police abruptly and violently cleared out a peaceful crowd of protesters near the White House with pepper spray and rubber bullets, more than a half-hour before the start of a citywide curfew in Washington.
While this was happening, Trump was giving a hastily arranged public address inside the White House Rose Garden, where he threatened to deploy active-duty troops to U.S. cities if local leaders did not succeed in quelling the protests, some of which have turned violent.
At first it was unclear why police outside the White House were suddenly firing rubber bullets and throwing pepper spray canisters at protesters.
But moments after Trump finished his address, the president and a retinue of staffers emerged from the White House gates, crossed the cleared-out square on foot, and arrived at St. John’s Church. The historic Episcopal Church had suffered minor damage in protests the night before.
Standing in front of the church, Trump held aloft a Bible that his daughter Ivanka Trump had reportedly brought with her from the White House. Brandishing the Bible like a sword, Trump posed for photographs with staff and said, “We have the greatest country in the world, we’ll keep it nice and safe.”
The White House group included top military officers dressed in battle fatigues, Cabinet secretaries, Secret Service snipers and West Wing aides. After the photos, they all walked back to the White House through a phalanx of riot police.

The Park Police later said that the escalation in tactics at Lafayette Park was triggered by protesters throwing things at the police, and was unrelated to Trump’s walk moments later.
In a statement to CNBC about the event, the Trump campaign said the president “made a powerful statement that God will always prevail by standing before the burned church, Bible in hand.”
But at St. John’s Church, the clergy and parishioners said they were shocked. No one had told them the president would be visiting their church, and it soon emerged that some of the people who were forcibly removed to clear the square for were clergy members affiliated with St. John’s.
‘Outraged’ clergy
The Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, the bishop of Washington, told the Religion News Service Trump’s event left her “outraged.”
“The symbolism of him holding a Bible … as a prop and standing in front of our church as a backdrop when everything that he has said is antithetical to the teachings of our traditions and what we stand for as a church — I was horrified,” she said.
The Rt. Rev. Michael Curry, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, said in a statement: “This evening, the President of the United States stood in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, lifted up a Bible, and had pictures of himself taken. In so doing, he used a church building and the Holy Bible for partisan political purposes. This was done in a time of deep hurt and pain in our country, and his action did nothing to help us or to heal us.”
On Capitol Hill Tuesday, even loyal Republicans struggled to defend Trump’s apparent photo op.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been to an event where I’ve stood outside a building and held up a Bible like that before, and I’m a person who reads the Bible every day,” Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Lankford told reporters.
“I don’t think I’ve ever done that, so it didn’t make sense in that context. Visiting that site, I thought was significant,” Lankford said. “The time, I didn’t think was helpful. If [Trump had] gone the next morning, when there weren’t folks out there, that would have been a better time.”
Any suggestion of a schism between the White House and faith communities right now comes at a particularly fraught time for Trump’s reelection campaign. A series of recent polls show the president losing ground among Christian voters, and they have reportedly triggered alarm bells within the Trump 2020 campaign.
Christians have long been a pillar of Trump’s political base, with white evangelical Christians making up a major slice of the U.S. electorate, roughly one-quarter of all voters in 2016.
But this year Christians may be especially important to Trump because his challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, is currently leading in both national polls and in most battleground state polls.
Biden has also shown that, as a candidate, he can cut into Trump’s support among white, working-class voters, making voters who reliably vote Republican, like evangelical Christians, all the more important in Trump’s path to victory.
“The President has an extraordinary record on conservative and faith issues,” said Trump campaign spokeswoman Sarah Matthews. “He has appointed over 190 solid, conservative federal judges, including two exemplary Supreme Court justices. He has defended religious freedoms and stood as the most pro-life president we’ve ever had.”
Ahead of November, said Matthews, “Our faith-based coalitions will engage and mobilize voters for whom these issues are important.”
Catholic shrine
After his controversial trip to St. John’s on Monday, Trump had two more scheduled events on Tuesday designed to highlight his administration’s support for Christians.

First, Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited a shrine in Northeast Washington, erected to honor the late Pope John Paul II. The shrine is not operated directly by the Catholic Church, but by the Knights of Columbus, a fraternal organization known for its conservative political bent.
But just as Trump was arriving at the shrine, Washington’s Catholic Archbishop, Wilton Gregory, slammed Trump’s visit in a statement to the press.
“I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people, even those with whom we might disagree,” Gregory said.
“Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth,” Gregory said. “He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.”
Later in the day, Trump signed an Executive Order at the White House directing the Secretary of State to dedicate taxpayer funds to protecting and promoting “religious freedom” abroad.
“Religious freedom” is a phrase and an issue that has been embraced by evangelical Christians in the United States. In practice, it usually refers to protecting Christian minorities in majority Muslim nations.
Trump’s history of stumbles
This week is not the first time that Trump has seemingly struggled to hit the right note with Christian leaders and voters.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump marketed himself as a devout Christian. But he frequently revealed his own unfamiliarity with the practice and teachings of the Christian faith.
During a speech at conservative Liberty University in January of 2016, Trump fumbled as he tried to cite Scripture.
“Two Corinthians 3:17, that’s the whole ballgame. … Is that the one you like?” Trump asked the crowd of students. “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
The audience snickered, acutely aware that the chapter Trump was trying to quote is known as “Second Corinthians” — not “Two Corinthians.”
At other points in the 2016 campaign, Trump said that he had never asked God for forgiveness, effectively revealing that he had never practiced a basic pillar of Christian faith.
“I have great relationship with God. I have great relationship with the Evangelicals,” Trump said in an interview with CNN shortly before the 2016 Iowa caucuses.
“I like to be good. I don’t like to have to ask for forgiveness. And I am good. I don’t do a lot of things that are bad. I try to do nothing that is bad,” Trump said.
If 2016 is any indication, Trump’s stumbles are unlikely to seriously harm his support among evangelical Christians in November. An April survey by the Public Religion Research Institute found that Trump’s favorability rating among evangelical Protestants still exceeds his overall approval rating by more than 20 points.
