Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, April 13, 2026

President Donald Trump followed a bizarre rant against Pope Leo XIV with an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ. The image, posted to Truth Social late Sunday night, depicts Trump as Christ, laying his hand on a patient in a hospital bed, seemingly healing him. He is surrounded by other figures, including a nurse, a soldier, and a praying woman. Also present in the image is the U.S. flag, several bald eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and the Lincoln Memorial. The 79-year-old posted the image less than an hour after his attack on the pope, who he condemned as "weak on crime, and terrible for foreign policy." He also claimed credit for Leo's success, arguing that he was selected because the Catholic Church believed an American pope would be well-positioned to deal with Trump.

Well, Republicans, this - yes, this thing - is your very own Golden Calf.
You created it, you worship it as a god ... yet it remains what it always was and will ever be: an utterly wretched creature.
"And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

Good Morning Doc Sarvis:

Right now I'm reading Gods, Heroes, and Men of Ancient Greece by W.H.D. Rouse (1957).

Then I'm going to either read from my Jules Verne anthology that includes Master of the World or Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis.

Dummkopf Trumpf on Truth Social:

"Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about "fear" of the Trump Administration, but doesn't mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't! I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon...."

That's supposed to be Christ? Christ wasn't a demented narcissist as far as I know.

Donald Trump is a blasphemer and support of him is sacrilege.

Nevertheless, "Fr. Vance" will be along shortly to give us all a catechism lesson about how wonderful this all is.

Morning, Coriolanus ...
You might want to consider The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami (
en.wikipedia.org)
and Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls (en.wikipedia.org). I found both absorbing.

Trump Worships Himself.

Sick Bastage.

Earlier, more Ernest Times, would have known what to Do about this.

Both books sound excellent, Doc Sarvis, much appreciated.

Years ago I had heard about an African prince or navigator from the Dark Continent heading West across the vast salty expanse and "discovering" the New World (Brazil), but this is anecdotal. One AI snapshot suggests that I may be referring to Abubakari II, a 14th-century ruler of the Mali Empire.

How many of Immanuel Velikovsky books have you read?

Anyways re-reading Greek mythology has been most rewarding.

I had forgotten all about Hercules' twin brother (also strong, but not like the "Big H").

Did you perchance see my post about the US Army civilian who got jammed up because she divulged secrets to a journalist about Delta Force?

That book sounds like another good read.

Too many books, not enough time, Doc Sarvis.

"an AI-generated image depicting himself (Trump) as Jesus Christ"

We have had much more than enough warning.

Get rid of the man, or the rest of us suffer.

If there are one or two of you out there who still don't think that Donald Trump is dangerously mentally impaired.

Just wait until he posts himself as being Mohammed.

Praise be to Allah!

If a USSS SA plugs the morbidly obese geriatric child molesting draft dodger in the back of the head, what jury would convict him or her?


Jury nullification.

And if the USSS SA is somehow convicted in federal court, an imminent act of clemency would follow from a Democratic POTUS.

Once again the libs attack a man just for expressing his faith. In himself. That he is the messiah. And the son of God.

I've been thinking about this myself. You know he's going to do it, too .... someday at 3:00 a.m. while rage dumping on the WH crapper.

Then we won't have to worry about Donnie anymore.

From Jesus having his back to being Jesus himself in less than 2 years! The Apostles could have learned from Trump!

He's completely lost what's left of his tiny little mind. Put the pedo in prison.
