Trump posts "sicko" pic of himself as Pope. (1 Viewer)

[eohrnberger]

Again, all you do is assume that Trump had nothing to do with it. Anything that might have any backlash, he always claims he has no idea about it, or feigns that he need "to look into it". Such bullshit, but MAGA believe him.

I have not stated that I believe him.
All I'm pointing out is that what you are asserting as fact hasn't been shown as fact, and you haven't, as of yet.
Good luck with that, and let me know when you have something more solid than your gums flapping.

As he said while Americans were dying from COVID, "I bear no responsibility."

There are actual Catholics who aren't fake (meaning claim to be catholic and worship Trump and his sexual abuse) and were not happy with the image.

You are going to have to prove this 'worship' of Trump, because I have no such inclination.

Having a different view on all this fake fauxrage than you doesn't equate to any sort of 'worship' of anyone.

 

[americanwoman]

No fake fauxrage when Biden does it, as per post #84, but fake fauxrage here?
Pretty much tells you all you need to know as to what is motivating the fake fauxrage. Its blatantly obvious, really.

So pardon me if I don't accept, or take seriously at all, all this fake fauxrage.

When did Biden unknowingly post an AI generated photo of him as pope? If you can provide that, I will denounce that too.

Didn't bother to read the post I referred you to, did you?

 

[americanwoman]

Didn't bother to read the post I referred you to, did you?

Yes and that post you referred, one example Biden making the sign of the cross at an abortion rally, is not comparable to the topic at hand which is Donald Trump posting an image of himself as the pope on his social media page.

Didn't bother to read the post I referred you to, did you?

I looked at the article from the post you reference.
imo, Trump lied or he needs to explain how the image got posted on his X account. It was not a reposting of someone else. It was posted in his account.

If President Trump is allowing others to post in his account without his approval, I suggest he needs to change his policy.

Yes, Trump posted an AI image of himself as pope on Truth Social

Later, the White House X account shared the image.

[DCCougar]

All the leftists blame Trump for posting the image, yet none of them can support that he did.

???
From the NY Times article:

"...it was posted by the White House on X and by his own Truth Social account."

So I don't know what the **** you're talking about, eohrnberger, but really, haven't you learned yet that Trump is a pathological liar? How in the world anyone can continue to believe a word that comes out of his mouth is truly a mystery of the Universe.

Oh of course not! </sarcasm>

Skipping Whitmere, I notice.

Consistently right along partisan lines.

This still doesn't demonstrate that Trump posted it, nor that he was aware of it being posted.

That may very well be, but doesn't prove what was asserted.

See my post above. This doesn't prove what you think it proves.

I don't take Trump seriously, especially on something like this.
It just simply isn't worth my time, with all the fake fauxrage which the left is constantly ginning up.

 

[mike2810]

ok.
What does that say about President Trump letting someone else post under his account as if it is him?
Then that leads to the question can we believe anything on Trump's TruthSocial account as his material.

That may very well be, but doesn't prove what was asserted.

Nor does what you post disprove.
Got to ask you. Do you let other people post under your forum accounts?

Snopes already demonstrated to be a left leaning so called 'fact checker', and is appropriately discarded from consideration as an non-serious source.

Well, provide a source that supports your position regarding Trump and the Pope image. Your comment is just a dodge.

I also posted a link to Trump's TruthSocial. Why would President Trump allow someone to post such an image on his account without his knowledge?

You are still missing it.
None of these things I take all that seriously.

I never made that assertion.

I'm not Trump either.
I think you'll find that many of the public figures have people who post things for them on social media, and don't do it themselves.

Well, provide a source that supports your position regarding Trump and the Pope image. Your comment is just a dodge.

There hasn't been a source for that image reported at all.

As I posted above "I think you'll find that many of the public figures have people who post things for them on social media, and don't do it themselves."

If Trump didn’t post it, he didn’t disclaim it either and, therefore, implicitly endorsed it.

Look if someone wrote on my garage door “Trump Sucks” and I don’t try to erase it or disown writing it (claim vandalism, etc.), then the only logical assumption is that I agree that “Trump Sucks.”

 

[RF667799]

That is not a logical conclusion, except in your mind.

He wasn't identifying as a member of their group?

 

[Hamish Howl]

I could see him as Benedict VI.

As I posted above "I think you'll find that many of the public figures have people who post things for them on social media, and don't do it themselves."

Do you consider a good practice for the President of the US to allow someone else use / post in their personnal X account without knowing what they are going to post?

Yes, other public figuers most likely have other people post for them. Yet, I bet they make it clear or approve of what is going to be posted.

Hasn't Trump said he does not know who posted the image? If true, then he has no control of his TS account. Wonder what else he does not have controll of.
True, you are not Trump. My point is a resonable person would not let someone post on their personal account without knowing what they were going to post. If they do, then it is their fault for letting it happen.

Trump is not a teflon President. He needs to take responsiblity.

 

[eohrnberger]

This, I think, is flawed logic.

"I had nothing to do with it. Somebody made up a picture of me dressed like the pope and they put it out on the internet. That's not me that did it, I have no idea where it came from, maybe it was AI, but I know nothing about it, I just saw it last evening," Trump told reporters on May 5 from the Oval Office.​

'They can't take a joke': Trump says he knew 'nothing' about AI image of him as the pope

President Donald Trump says he had nothing to do with artificially generated image of him dressed as the pope.

Sure sounds like he disclaimed it.

Look if someone wrote on my garage door “Trump Sucks” and I don’t try to erase it or disown writing it (claim vandalism, etc.), then the only logical assumption is that I agree that “Trump Sucks.”

Kinda tortured logic there.

Sure seem like you are scraping the bottom of the desperation barrel there to keep this going.

US president displays ‘pathological megalomania’ as cardinals gather to elect new pope after death of Francis

www.theguardian.com

If you think that this is even remotely funny, then you are simply as "fuxed" in the head as this sick bastard is.
Every so-called Christian Trump voter should be ashamed of themselves for voting for this psychotic piece of shit.

Most of the outrage from the left will be utterly fake.
You guys defend the "piss christ".

Regardless it was a stupid political move imo.

He disclaimed MAKING the AI photo.

He didn’t disclaim posting it on his personal Truth (sic) Social platform,

He also didn’t disclaim posting it on White House’s separate media account.

Nor did he order either social media account to delete or take it down.

Stop being obtuse.

Lack of disclaimer does not equal that he posted it, nor that he directed it be posted.

[Rumblefish]

Lack of taking it DOWN or deleting does mean he approves of it, though. As does the absence of any subsequent comment or post like “Geez that was wrong.”

Stop being obtuse.

 

[eohrnberger]

That'd be an inference, which may, or may not be true.

As does the absence of any subsequent comment or post like “Geez that was wrong.”

Per the provided citation:

Talking to reporters on May 5 about the artificial image that appeared on his account, Trump brought up first lady Melania Trump and said, "Actually my wife thought it was cute. She said, 'Isn't that nice?'"​

​

"Actually, I would not be able to be married. though," he said. "To the best of my knowledge, pope's aren't big on being married, are they? Not that we know of."​

. . .​

As for whether it should have been shared from the official account of the White House on social media, Trump said "give me a break" and that "somebody did it in fun, it's fine, you have to have a little fun, don't you."​

He's not taking it as seriously, and those in the media and the posters in this thread that are, are doing so for political motivations, and nothing more.

Stop being obtuse.

The ones in the media and here who are taking it seriously are being 'obtuse', or at least disingenuous.

Tell me you’re in the Trump cult without telling me you’re in the cult.

Hey, my religious leader just died, let’s all make jokes. Derp.

You just hate it that someone has the temerity to have a different opinion and viewpoint, who are not taking it as seriously as you want them to, don't you?

Hey, I may not think its funny, but at least I'm not trying to make political hay and gin up fauxrage over it.

 

[NOLA Dude]

...in his own home. He did not tweet about the candle using an official platform.

X is an official platform? Did you make up your own rules about this?

 

[ElChupacabra]

This still doesn't demonstrate that Trump posted it, nor that he was aware of it being posted.

Then he manages his social media account poorly since what gets posted to that account is attributed to him.

That may very well be, but doesn't prove what was asserted.

Interesting. So I guess no one should trust what he posts on Truth Social or X because it may not be him posting it. Got it.

Snopes already demonstrated to be a left leaning so called 'fact checker', and is appropriately discarded from consideration as an non-serious source.

What should be appropriately discarded from consideration is the idea that a source cannot be trusted despite the accuracy of their reporting being glaringly evident. The Donnie Boy Conundrum once again at work, where his defenders are stuck between choosing to defend poor management of his social media account AND the White House social media account, or that he is a liar.
