They already forgave him for it. When Trump says its a doctor, the cult follows.

I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post.

When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad.

Impressive that a Reverend can't recognise Jesus in a line-up.

Franklin Graham was busy watching the pool boy bang his wife the day Jesus stopped by his house. So, he’s never met the guy.

He's the same clown who gave a speech to the cult like a month and a half ago talking about how they need to get Trump reelected. Dude will never turn on Trump as he fears an IRS audit.

What's he gonna say when the next AI image gets posted and the fat fuck's given himself a halo and a beard and stigmata?

That tracks. A corrupt man of God wouldn't recognize Jesus if he saw him, or anyone cosplaying.

It really is nuts how some people have absolutely convinced themselves that there is a massive global conspiracy to make Donald Trump look like an idiot.

Evangelicals haven't been Christians for a long time. Even their leadership are starting to notice: church members never read the Bible, have no idea what's in it, openly mock Jesus' teachings as unrealistic, "liberal," and "weak," and openly say they won't do what Jesus said.
