I can’t even.
Certifiably insane, batshit crazy, or a narcissist who genuinely believes a deity is whispering to him, or is lying about the same for political traction among the sheeple. You pays your money and you takes your takes your choice.
If a deity existed and whispered to him, I can’t imagine this would be the gist of the message, which sounds like a poor publicist wrote it, or one his breathless followers. A more likely message might be “Try not to be such a cunt all the time, Donald”.
I vote for lying and maybe to some extent believing his own bullshit, in the “maybe it’s a fib, but it shouldn’t be” sense. IOW a narcissist who genuinely believes a deity SHOULD BE whispering sweet nothings in his ear.
Trump has a long history of saying anything he thinks his supporters will like. I do hope he isn’t hearing actual voices. Claiming to be pals with Jesus is so repugnant, but it’s the same act used by some mega preachers. Jesse Duplantis even claims Jesus asks him for advice.
I get the sense the clock is ticking until he declares himself a deity.
And then he will be referred to as D. Jesus Trump?
I kind of hope he devolves that far … it will be interesting to see how many of the fundies will cry “blasphemy” and how many will hail it as the second coming … in the meantime it will be a bridge too far for anyone not sure they should proceed with the 25th amendment process. Maybe.
Jesus, I’m not proud of myself, but I just laughed hard enough to induce hiccups.
Not at all too soon for that, IMHO.
Unfortunate, isn’t it?
Every morning I wake up and check the front page of the New York Times hoping to read a Big, Beautiful Obituary on the front page. When it finally happens, the spontaneous celebrations are going to be stupendous.
