Context

Ah, where to begin? I want this post to be short, so let's start with Trump's most recent controversy (in a list that's longer than the Great Wall of China).

The Orange Ass posted an image of himself as Jesus. When being interviewed, he admitted he posted it, but he claims it's not meant to be him as Jesus. He claims it was supposed to be him as a doctor.

An Incident

My Boomer mom is a lifelong self-proclaimed Catholic, so I wanted to see how she would react. I texted her about it yesterday. She texted back saying something like, "Trump didn't mean to be blasphemous! He thought the image portrayed him as a doctor!" 🤦 I asked her more questions about the image. Why is he wearing a robe like Jesus? Why does he have orbs of light in his hands? She couldn't answer, but she said Trump didn't mean to disrespect her religion. I felt petty, so I made sure to get the last word. LOL

What an idiot. This isn't first time my mom and I have butted heads over politics, but it is the most obvious example of her stupidity.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not religious, but even I can recognize religious symbolism when I see it.
