I don't know why your comment is being down-voted.
I get why people pass around funny "GEOTUS" memes, it's fun and usually harmless - but displays like this are bizarre. We (rightfully) excoriated the left for heralding Barack Obama as their wannabe-messiah for 8 insufferable years, so the last thing we should be doing - especially those of us who are Christian - is turning to some kind of weird worship of a president.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't support Trump, nor is it to say that having a little fun is wrong. But it seems to me that if someone is placing Trump's face over that of Jesus, you're showing where your faith truly lies. And if your faith rests in one man, who will one day be gone, then I have some very bad news for you.
It just went over your head, that's all. The point is that he made an "Impeach Trump" page, got a collection of rabid lefties on it, and then changed it to this, so they are all now subscribed to the modified account's posts. He is not actually attempting to claim that Trump is literally Christ. It is for the bantz
I understand the "gotcha!" aspect of this, but honestly, I've seen pretty much the same thing from the other side. Some leftist will create a Twitter account where they act like a parody of Trump voters, constantly drawing comparisons between the president and the one who died for our sins, insisting that Trump can do no wrong, and generally mocking enthusiastic Trump supporters.
Even if this is only meant to fool a bunch of Democrat boomers, it still strikes me as being in poor taste and largely pointless. A better method would have been to create an "Impeach Trump" page, and spent the time putting out disinformation. For example, you tell your followers about MKUltra, and claim that Trump started it. After you tell them to research it, they quickly come to find out that Trump had nothing to do with it. Perhaps one or two Democrats have a "Wait, have I been lied to?" moment. Maybe their virw of the CIA isn't so warm after that.
But now I'm just rambling. Like I said, this is very off-putting to me, even if it is supposed to be a joke.
You're not wrong, but I err on the side of "aw, let it go" with this kind of thing. If he had fun doing it, if it helps his morale, that matters more than our moral griping, I think. Keep in mind the lockdown and the general horror and chaos of our world and how people are dropping like flies because of it. So we have to perform self-care and if making irreverent jokes like this helps him, I think God will forgive.
