JD Vance, a Catholic convert who occasionally has sparred with church leaders over their criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said in an interview on Fox News Channel on Monday night that the president’s social media post with the Jesus-like image was “a joke.”
“Of course, he took it down because he realized a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor,” Vance said.
He repeatedly dismissed the focus on the president’s fight with the pope, saying it “isn’t particularly newsworthy” and there will be disagreements from time to time with the Vatican.
But Vance also suggested the pope should stay in his lane.
What humor?
Right? I’m not laughing.
I dunno what people are so upset about. I just came from the doctor’s office. The nurse called my name and the doctor then descended from the sky, wearing his doctor robes and shawl, hand glowing brightly as he stuffed a thermometer up my ass.
IS THAT NOT HOW ALL DOCTORS LOOK AND OPERATE.
Humour, right.
When Americans got upset that John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus, at least Lennon owned his words. He never called it a joke or belittled his critics. He calmly stated his reasons and eventually apologized for upsetting people.
I’m not saying this to hold up John Lennon as some epitome of goodness (he’s had his share of skeletons in the closet.) Rather, that even a snarky lad who built his public persona on taking the piss at any given opportunity didn’t fall back on the “it’s just a joke, bro” defense.
“It was just a joke bro!” - the mantra of feeble fascists everywhere.
This is a well recognized tactic of narcissists.
oh, look, an article about my mom
100%. This is what these pieces of shit always do.
Member when he posted a video of Obama and Michelle as chimps?
His “humor” is resoundingly fascist psychopath.
Wasn’t it supposed to be a doctor? What’s the “joke” then?
These morons aren’t just criminals and liars.
They are also criminally bad at lying.
The joke is that Trump would help someone.
He’s actually distracting him while they clean out his bank accounts as he lay dying, and twisting the knife in his ribs for his bitcoin password.

That’s what all magicians, thieves, and politicians try to do; distract you with a bright light whilst they’re quietly doing the necessary.
No, it’s supposed to be jesus, he healed people by touching them.
Trumps cope was that he was dressed like a doctor. Surprised that was his defense and not the classic, “an intern posted this”.
Last I checked doctors wore lab coats and scrubs.
Not flowing white robes
He is out of his mind is the thing. His handlers, the project 2025 people, can’t keep him from shitposting at midnight apparently. Seriously, he’s out of it, entirely.
The project 2025 people like his antics as they help distract from more important things.
There is absolutely no evidence to suggest Trump has a sense of humour.
He is cruel, lacking in empathy, intelligence and wit.
All the basic skills required for humour. And he’s a cunt.
Then why did Trump himself tell people that it was actually a picture of a doctor, to show support for the Red Cross?
That doesn’t sound like a joke.No no, don’t even give him that credit of sanity. He didn’t say it was to show support for the Red Cross, he said it was him as a doctor who had to do the Red Cross. Not show support of the Red Cross. Not a doctor with the Red Cross. Not helping people like they do in the Red Cross.
Had to do the Red Cross. You know, as if it were some action or procedure someone could perform.
Even when criticizing this dumbass, it’s like we can’t help but whitewash his deteriorating mental status.
Exactly.
He probs thought Red Cross was an underage girl or something.
He probably meant “about to part the Red Cross.”
All part of another amazing knee-slapper from the GOP God King of Comedy, of course.
It’s hilarious when I would see cons trying to do this “liberals can’t meme” narrative they were all telling themselves and trying to foist onto the world.
These dumbfucks are almost always terrible at anything related to comedy.
Trump has no sense of humor. Trump worships nothing but Trump.
Trial balloon, that’s what it’s called. It’s a test to see how people react. It’s just a joke unless you’re fine with it, and then he’s serious.
I’ve also heard it described as a tolerance test; it’s a social behavior we all engage in but in the case of narcissistic personalities it’s much more nefarious and manipulative. The narcissist’s prayer sums it up well.
These types will also turn this tactic into its most extreme form, a DARVO attack, when confronted directly.
Nothing is ever their fault, they are immune to accountability and will never ever accept that they need to change. Simply step into the mind of your 5 year old self when caught doing something you knew you knew weren’t supposed to yet felt you could whine your way out of and you’ll come close to understanding this mindset.
Trump’s sense of humour also involved a fantasy of him dropping his own shit onto Americans.
Which was about the most accurate thing he’s posted, himself dropping wet shit on Americans from a great height. Sadly it’s a good analogy.
Ha ha, joke about being the false idol of christianity. So funny. No one gets heresy humour anymore, people are usually so open minded about religion too go figure! /s
Jesus Christ.
That’s Dr. Jesus Christ to you, tyvm
I like the demon in the background of the photo in the sky, it really clarifies the situation. I like to think of it as the witch king behind the unblinking eye as others have posited.
Not Jesus… A Doctor!
What humor? That picture was sick.
This smarmy shit thinks everyone but him is so fucking dumb. He thinks he’s going to become president with this cutesy little act, but even Trump voters can see through it and don’t trust him.
