Image depicting Trump as Jesus figure removed after uproar
Religious conservatives have been some of President Donald Trump’s strongest supporters, but some are speaking out against an image the president posted online depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure.The image is blasphemous, some said. It is sacrilegious. And it is politically unwise. Amid the backlash, the image was removed from Trump's social media feed in what appeared to be a rare concession to critics.
“This is gross blasphemy,” Brilyn Hollyhand, the former chair of the Republican National Committee’s Youth Advisory Council and a self-described “full time Christian” said of the image in a social media post. “Faith is not a prop. You don’t need to portray yourself as a savior when your record should speak for itself.”
