Trump Just Posted Something So Embarrassing That It Appears He’s Possibly Lost His Mind

Buckle up, you're about to cringe.

Everyone who sees Trump’s social media posts knows he loves to put up articles or retweets where other people have said good things about him. But this one is off the charts conceited. It’s just so narcissistic and embarrassing one almost feels bad for him…almost.

There’s a lot that goes into the psychology of what makes someone as arrogant as Donald Trump. Wealth, privilege, you know the drill.

But the thing that, in my opinion, does the worst damage is when others praise an already-arrogant person.

And when Wayne Allen Root calls Trump “The Chosen One,” Trump knows he actually means it.

That’s what the article Trump just shared on his Truth Social account was about. And not just comparing him to Jesus, but literally using the phrasing as the Bible to describe the resurrection after the crucifixion.

The piece, headlined “On Easter Week, ‘He Has Risen,’ And So Has President Donald J. Trump,” goes on to gush about the adjudicated rapist as though he is the new savior of mankind.

Whether you are a Christian or not, odds are pretty darn good that you know the story of the resurrection and the connection that Christians have with Easter. And Trump knows the majority of his voters are evangelicals, so he really trades on that when making his appeals to them. That, despite the fact he was pro-choice, anti-gun, and friends with Hillary Clinton literally two minutes before deciding to run for president as a Republican.

Root says:

First I have to educate you on someone who rose to new heights of fame, wealth and political popularity this week- President Donald J. Trump.

Yes, Wayne. Because Jesus was TOTALLY concerned with fame, wealth, and political popularity. You know what he would have been concerned with? The fact you didn’t use the Oxford comma like a good person would.

Really, that’s the point of any religion: Just be good. And the irony is that Trump is literally not good in any way. He doesn’t even have a dog.

Oh, Root claims he’s not comparing Trump to Christ. And then he turns around and says “Trump has been chosen by God to lead the battle of good vs evil in America.”

Idolators like Root who worship Trump are bad enough. But the biggest Trump idolator is Trump himself, for constantly showing off how much other people love him.
