Trump Retweets Meme That Jesus Likes Him Better Than Obama

[left-of-center2012]

President Donald Trump retweeted a meme claiming Jesus Christ likes him more than Barack Obama. The two-year-old message from a Trump fan called the president “heaven sent.” Trump responded during another wild night of Twitter rants from Mar-a-Lago with a retweet and a “Thank you!”

The tweet included a meme of none other than “Jesus Christ” carrying luggage and apparently returning to America. “Obama kicked me out,” says “Jesus.” “Trump invited me back.”

Trump is focused just now on boosting his bona fides with evangelicals following a scathing editorial earlier this month in Christianity Today.

You can imagine the responses on Twitter when Trump used Jesus as a character reference.

1. Jesus loves everybody. That's his job.

2. The meme is that Trump likes Jesus better than Obama liked Jesus

Neither the image not the text suggests how Jesus feels about either one. Jesus could very well be running away from Trump's invitation.

4. I don't think Trump has any use for Jesus

except as bait for the evangelicals. Would Trump want to be the buddy of some poor Jewish carpenter who insisted on feeding the poor, visiting prisoners, healing the sick and welcoming immigrants?

5. I agree.

I was just pointing out that the meme has nothing to do with who Jesus likes.

3. Oh for Pete's Sake!

Jesus would not have had stuff to begin with. He was not “Our Lord of the Excess Baggage.” He embraced poverty and simplicity, concerned more with the spirit than the material world.

6. He's so fucking jealous of Obama

Always was and always will be!! Obama is one BILLION times the man tRUMP is

7. That's really what it all comes down to, isn't it?

He's so jealous of Obama that he has to claim that he loves Jesus more than Obama does (which is laughable) or that Jesus liked him (Trump, a serial adulterer, non-stop liar and con man) better than he liked Obama, a practicing Christian who actually seemed to take the teachings of Jesus seriously. Whether Jesus was a real person or the son of God is for believers and non-believers to argue about in the Religion forum, but in this instance Trump has combined his cheap bait for evangelicals with his envy of Obama (envy is one of the seven deadly sins, Donald), and it's particularly sad and stupid.

[YOHABLO]

8. Yeah, pretty much.

[bluestarone]

9. YES this FALSE PROPHET has ALL these

Evangelicals believing EVERYTHING! What a bunch of dumb-fucks!

[MurrayDelph]

10. Of course Jesus would prefer hanging out with Trump over Obama

Jesus hung out with the scum and lowlifes, because the truly righteous had less to learn.

11. Yeah! Right! The Donald who ridicules Holy Communion and does not need Christ's forgiveness.

Yeah! Right! The Donald who ridicules Holy Communion and does not need Christ's forgiveness.

12. That's because this simpleton genius, you know Mr. IQ156, only has a lexicon of 500 words.

.

The claims of him having an IQ of 156 must mean that Obama's IQ must be 155.

He's so jealous of Obama.
