“It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor.”

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help. pic.twitter.com/7diVJG0hyo

Yeah, probably it has.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people and the killing of children I and our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts with actual bombings and targeting of people for the purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are. We are better than this."

Actually the message of the Hebrew Scriptures, too. There is a through-line from Genesis to Revelation. But  I digress.

And then Trump got in front of a camera, and the day just fell apart.
 

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one. pic.twitter.com/7Y1u86GjkP

What does he think doctors do?

Q: Will you apologize to Pope Leo?

TRUMP: No, because Pope Leo said things that are wrong. I think he's very weak on crime. pic.twitter.com/jPDBdxTksA

Leo needs to trade the Popehat and Popemobile for Batman cowl and a Batmobile. Preferably one that shoots missiles.

Unless it’s us.

Trump: I know Letitia James is a very corrupt person—you're talking about the so-called attorney general. She's a very corrupt person. That's been proven now…. Comey's a dirty cop. And dirty cops are bad. Nobody likes the police more than me. But Comey's a totally dirty cop. pic.twitter.com/XJ1juDSnxe

Reporter: Any update on who you want to lead DOJ?

Words  just fall out of his mouth with absolutely no connection to each other, with no sense of context or coherence at all. If this were a family member, you’d just make sure they were pointed at the TeeVee, and check the schedule on their meds.

The Trump / Republican messaging theme for the day was supposed to be No Tax on Tips.

Instead, the master strategist 4-D chess player made it about Dr. Jesus Trump from the Red Cross.

I think Trump’s explanation about the Jesus post might be more insane than the post itself.

And I certainly did not think that was possible before it happened.
