I saw this online from TruthSocial and had to double-check to ensure it wasn’t a spoof or a fraud.Adam Kinzinger, former Republican Illinois representative wrote in two back-to-back X, formerly Twitter, posts on Sunday sharing Trump’s Easter note: “Dear Christians who think Trump is the savior, here is his inspiring Easter message or forgiveness and resurrection.”
In a second post, he wrote: “How many times Trump mentions Jesus or resurrection: 0 How many times he says Lord: 1, (drug LORDs)”
“Republicans Against Trump,” a group of GOP supporters who don’t back Trump, wrote in an X post Sunday: “Donald Trump dedicated his Easter message to attacking the ‘Radical Left Lunatics,’ ‘the worst and most incompetent President,’ ‘Sleepy Joe Biden,’ and once again falsely claimed he won the 2020 election. Ah yes, the true spirit of Easter: rage-posting about your political enemies.”
Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action gun violence prevention organization, wrote on X: “Easter message from an incompetent maniac.”
PatriotTakes, a left-leaning X account that says it’s dedicated to “exposing right-wing extremism and other threats to democracy,” wrote on Sunday: “Trump’s Easter message fails to mention Jesus, the cross, the resurrection, forgiveness, peace, joy, or any other Easter message. Instead, he attacked his political opponents, migrants, judges, law enforcement, and rambled about himself and his grievances.”
Christopher Webb, who identifies as a Democrat and has over 122,000 followers on X, wrote about Trump’s post: “Imagine being this bitter, this unhinged—and still thinking you’re the victim. Trump can’t even say Happy Easter without turning it into a rage-filled tantrum.”
Too cozy
Shane Claiborne, author, activist, and Christian, shared a cartoon by Mike Luckovich of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, depicting Trump hugging a cross with a thought bubble showing “Big Beautiful ‘T’ for Trump!” Claiborne wrote: “Easter… according to Trump. Every Easter as Trump goes on a narcissistic rant… I think about this cartoon by @mluckovichajc.” (I have read Claiborne and Chris Haw’s 2008 book Jesus for President. . “David Swanson wrote a three-part review of Jesus for President in Christianity Today, in which he argues that ‘Claiborne and Haw make a compelling case that the church in America has become much too cozy with the state.'”
