Our most recent book is The Comeback: The 2024 Elections and American Politics. The second Trump administration has been full of ominous developments -- now including a war in the Middle East.
On Easter morning, the president of the United States just posted the following:
President Donald Trump elicited laughter at a White House Easter lunch when he seemingly compared himself to Jesus Christ.
At the annual event on Wednesday, April 1, Trump spoke about Palm Sunday and said he could relate to one of the monikers that people use when referring to Jesus.
"On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise honoring him as king," he said in footage that has since been deleted from the White House website.
"They call me king now. Can you believe it?" he added with a smile.
Trump called God bringing the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt “an amazing period of time” and compared it to the United States under his presidency. pic.twitter.com/IjJ3BcXjJl
