What Is The Real Message Sitting US President Donald Trump Is Sending After Posting And Reposting Photo Of Himself As The Next Roman Catholic Pope?

President Donald Trump shocked and angered the world today by posting and reposting a photo of himself as the next Roman pope, what possible message was he sending?
Unless you live in a cave, by now the news of a sitting United States president, Donald Trump, posting and then reposting an AI photo of himself as the next Roman Catholic pope has reached your ears and eyes. All the usual suspects have risen, immediately, to his defense proffering explanations like “he’s playing 4D chess”, “he’s trolling the opposition”, and “you just don’t understand his sense of humor” as if any of those nonsensical statement had any bearing on the conversation, they don’t. My father used to tell me that, when someone did something for which there was no good or rational explanation, they were “sending you a message”, and that’s exactly what’s happening here. The only question, what message?
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1 (KJB)
100 days into Trump 2.0, even the casual observer can discern that this Trump has almost nothing in common with the 2016 Trump 1.0. The first Trump administration was positively light-hearted compared to this administration that is filled with dark foreboding combined with a manic rush forward. Forward to where exactly? I look around, and so far, there are no Epstein files, no JFK files, no UFOs and aliens files, no explanation for the drones, food prices still high, gas prices still right around $3.00 (here in Florida), no end to the war in Ukraine, and the list goes on and on. All my friends voted for Trump last November, and nearly all of them are experiencing the same sense of perplexity as I am about this administration. Pope Donald VI? Hmm. A US president rules over 350 million, but the pope over 1.4 billion. That’s power.
Yes, sitting US president Donald Trump actually posted this to his Truth Social account, and the official White House X channel reposted it. What is the message here? https://t.co/Aap0ry3c1m

The first thing that comes to my mind, as a former Roman Catholic before getting saved in 1991, as I look at the Trump-as-pope photo, is that it signals not mockery as some have suggested but rather alliance. Remember back in 2020 when President Trump and Melania visited the shrine of Saint John Paul II and bowed and did obeisance there? Remember what he did right after that visit? He signed an Executive Order providing for “promotion of interfaith dialogue to solve problems and promote greater inter- and intra-religious understanding.” So Trump’s pope photo is sending a clear and direct message to the Vatican that he will fully support the next Roman leader.
STILL WAITING FOR:
• Bump in the economy
• Release of Epstein Files
• Release of actual JFK files
• Lower gas and food prices
• Release of actual UFO files
• Explanation for drone incursions
• The promised prosperity— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) April 30, 2025
Trump first posted the photo to his own Truth Social account, and that’s fine, we’ll file that under ‘artistic license’ and ‘freedom of expression’. Have at it. But…then that post was then reposted by the official White House page on X, causing the United States government to, by proxy, take an official position of supporting it. That’s not fine. We now have gone past ‘humor and trolling’ right into asking if Trump sees himself as a political figure, religious figure or both. Fun fact from your King James Bible: the Antichrist is both a political figure and a religious figure.
Lastly, we have the timing of it all. If Trump would have done this a few months ago while Pope Francis was alive, no one would have cared. Same for if he did it a few months after the election of the next pope. But to do it now, while the College of Cardinals are sequestered and actively engaged in the process of electing a pope, that signals disruption. But disruption of what and of whom? That’s the question.
I was very happy when Donald Trump won in a landslide last November, confident that we would soon experience an economic boom and that the great American train would be reset on her tracks. But a little over 100 days later, it’s hard to remain optimistic in the face of the unrelenting spiritual darkness coming out of the White House. I don’t know what’s coming next, but I’m bracing myself for anything. To me, none of this is ‘draining the swamp’ or ‘dismantling the Deep State’, but a frenzied and potentially uncontrollable descent into madness. Someone is having a laugh alright, but it’s at our expense.
