Trump Declares Holy War On Pope While Casting Himself As Jesus 2.0
KEY POINTS
- •In April 2026, Trump launched profanity-laced threats at Iran and attacked Pope Leo XIV during Holy Week.
- •Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth prayed for 'overwhelming violence' while Pope Leo urged weapon bearers to lay down their arms.
- •Trump’s attacks on the American-born pope and a deleted AI Jesus self-portrait risk alienating Catholic swing voters.
During Holy Week 2026, instead of lighting candles, President Trump chose to light up Twitter with a profanity-laced Easter morning threat to Iran—’Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell’—bless his soul. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth joined the holy chaos, praying for 'overwhelming violence', while Pope Leo XIV calmly urged peace at Easter Mass. Trump then turned sacred shade-thrower, calling Leo 'WEAK on Crime' and 'terrible for Foreign Policy', accusing the conclave of political pickiness. He capped it with a now-deleted AI image of himself healing the sick dressed like biblical back-up Jesus, claiming it was 'just a doctor.' Meanwhile, America’s 1-in-5 Catholic voters watched in disbelief, as the Cultural Divinity Wars escalated between a Chicago-born pope and a former president who apparently skipped the part where Jesus turned the other cheek.
