A good use of AI.
Jeebus.
There is always that one black guy in these group pictures that makes all other black people go… Wtf is wrong with you man…
the gop always use a token in thier photo ops.
Is this a real picture?
Not sure how true this is but it looks like a church group from Dec 2019 that visited the White House.
😰
Yup, BuzzFeed shows it coming from a Riley Gaines account. https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/donald-trump-praying-picture
Came here for the same question. Logic says yes, but realism says this fat bitch would never let normies touch him.
Maybe he billed them for that
I’m pretty sure it is
when i reverse image search it i cannot find a single instance of this picture that isnt facebook, instagram, or reddit.
That’s pretty normal for any picture these days.
Interesting, well I guess I’m wrong then! I want to say I saw it on some mainstream media at one point or another, but I must have been mistaken! Thanks for digging!
The day Trump dies will be a very interesting time for his supporters. I could see it going either two ways. One would be them denying it and treating it like when Elvis died people reported seeing him in public and the other possibility is them going full Jamestown.
Elon bets on that Trump dies, I bet, he want to be president, I bet
This is why I think Marc Maron was right: The guy needs to have a massive stroke, so his supporters can see him alive with weakness and disability.
I could definitely see that happening and Trump end up in a wheelchair like Stephen Hawking having to use a robot voice to speak or even better we end up with a weekend at Bernie’s situation.
No matter his age and cholesterol levels, they’ll claim ‘the left finally got him’.
Why did Biden do this?
This is why I was hoping for an electoral defeat instead of a successful assassination.
It’s not the act that concerned me, it was the wild chains of disparate psychopathy that ensued from his followers. No better way to make a martyr than kill whatever they’re preaching about.
This shocking outcome has been a lesson and loss for his followers, but they are no longer emboldened by his bullshit.
3/4 of them will starve while awaiting resupply from the King of England?
Nah you mean Jonestown.
I thought they meant Jaynestown for a bit.
Jamestown plz.
They will recreate some qanon underground “leader” that’ll generate a movement with bs hidden messages that he is alive and living in a safe area. And just like a good cult leader pretending to be Trump, will tell his cult followers what to do, on some 4chan forum. With followers not knowing it’s some idiot fed agent working for CIA.
They’ll change the legislation for non Americans to gain proper citizenship. Musk will then assume the mantel of leader when Trump dies. Trump will be like after Pope John Paul II or even a martyr. They’ll be mass Christian Nationalist uprising as other in that group would want someone else to supplant him. That’s the new out group after everyone else is taken care of
It will be like the movie “The Death of Stalin”.
It’s creepy that they’re doing some weird religious gesture, but I think it’s a lovely sign of the times that one of the freaks on the left (as we’re looking at it) just has to record this emotional and reflective moment for their socials lol
It’s called “laying on hands” among Christians. As in, “let us lay on hands and pray for them.” In theory it should be a way of showing support that someone is not alone. Usually, I’d attribute it more to religious people doing a silent ‘look at me, I have a direct line to God for this person!’ [Like you said, they’re so in the moment they pull out their phone; yeah, that screams holy moment.] Which is funny because Protestants think everyone has a personal relationship with God, so what’s the extra prayer for? In case God wasn’t listening to the requestor, but they might listen to Ultra Religious person? Doesn’t sound very personal to me.
You see god charged up Trump full of christian energy and they’re trying to leach it away with the wireless god juice receptacles installed in their hands. I would want proof too for when I charged people to leach it from me.
I just don’t know how he became their Christian idol when he doesn’t even go to church and he has been open about that in the past.
There’s a pervasive belief that god has chosen Trump as his “imperfect vessel” to get his shit done on earth. Therefore christians don’t have to care about the character of the man, he’s literally the force of god on earth to them.
Has to pepper spray people to do a photo op in front of one
The same way Biden got re-nominated even though everyone knew he was brain-damaged.
Partisans don’t care. It’s all about team color.
This is not because people of US have chosen to do so, having only two strong parties is the only logical outcome in a “democracy” designed like it is in US right now.
Matthew 6
- 5 And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
- 6 But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
One of my favorite verses. Preachers will do all kinds of contortionist shit to wriggle out of this one. Usually they don’t have to though, because their followers only read the parts of the book the preacher cherrypicks.
There’s an old concept I like- The best cure for christianity is reading the bible.
Literally, this is a suicide cult.
When tf do they start killing themselves please.
Really more of a murder-suicide/doomsday cult. They don’t want anybody alive when they’re not.
They aren’t trying to kill just themselves. They want to take the rest of us and life in general with them.
That’s the worst kind of suicide cult!
Covid and now measles seems to be a start.
At least the heaven’s gate people weren’t trying to reproduce their way to power
Nationalism is more of a death cult than a suicide cult.
i can see this is not AI generated but I’m still gonna convince myself that it is
I would say the intelligence of the people in this photo is indeed artificial.
very clever;
At least Heaven’s Gate kept to themselves. Applewhite was a repressed, self hating gay man who developed that kind of friendship damaged gay men and damaged gay women do. They didn’t proselytize in the later years, they didn’t kill others.
Trump is more a Jim Jones. Pretend to hold an ideology you don’t necessarily believe (Jones was known for being progressive on race - but was a sexual predator and one wonders what the benefit was). Once the jig is up, take everyone down with you.
Hang on, is this a legit picture?
Yes. America has a mental illness epidemic, and it’s primarily due to Christian evangelism.
Christians following a man that lies, cheats, and steals. Interesting.
In their defense, if there were ever someone that Christians needed to pray for (so that they change their ways) it’d be Donald “I’m a very stable genius” Trump. Somehow I doubt that was foremost on their minds. Probably more “may You bless us and give us great blessings as we spread Your word and see Your will be done [which happens to be whatever the hell we say it is, even if it directly contradicts the Bible].”
tbf it is literally in their holy book that they will worship the anti-christ. So is it really their fault?
Yes.
What the fuck is the context of that picture? Holy shit.
The only context you need is that Christian evangelism supports the anti-christ; the physical embodiment of the seven deadly sins, and antithesis to the words of Jesus Christ.
It’s worth reiterating. The context IS mental illness.
It’s an evangelical ritual where they lay hands on someone and pray for them
Having know some evangelicals, it doesn’t hold any huge significance. They’ll lay hands on someone who has a broken arm to pray to God to heal it, so it’s not like this is a huge honor. Still weird, but this isn’t a sign of them idolizing him, especially compared to that golden goat statue with Trump’s face on $100 bills. The goat is literal blasphemy, but “laying hands” is just how evangelicals normally act…
Neat, that’s exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks! ❤️
but “laying hands” is just how evangelicals normally act…
Being uncomfortably touchy on someone (sometimes against their will) and taking credit for something that’s obvious bullshit?
… Yeah that tracks.
Yeah, pretty much. I’m not saying it isn’t weird, and I’m also not saying they don’t idolize him, but this picture is just how evangelicals treat other evangelicals. Nothing scandalous or newsworthy, IMO.
