Internet in splits as Donald Trump shares fan-made court sketch of him sitting next to Jesus

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On the first day of his trial in the Manhattan fraud case, Donald Trump shared a fan-drawn sketch of Jesus Christ sitting beside him in the court.

During the civil trial, the former POTUS' attorneys claimed that his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida was, in reality, worth at least $1 billion, rather than $18 million, as per Daily Mail.

On the other hand, the prosecutors accused him of inflating the value of his properties to $2.2 billion so that he could continue getting bank loans, while Trump was seen shaking his head.

Later, the 2024 presidential candidate shared a fan-drawn picture of him getting support from none other than the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

The original poster of the image, Dom Lucre, re-shared Trump’s post from Truth Social on X (formerly Twitter) with a fire emoji.

Earlier, the pro-Trump political commentator Lucre shared the image with the quote, "This is the most accurate court sketch of all time. Because nobody could have made it this far alone."

Naturally, his post gained massive traction on the Internet, with people voicing their opinions regarding the sketch.

Internet reacts to court sketch of Jesus sitting beside Donald Trump

While a section of the Internet welcomed the post wholeheartedly, there was a faction that found humor in the sketch of Donald Trump and Jesus Christ.

"Well, pretty much everything he does makes people mutter "Jesus!"," declared someone, as another commented, "Jesus looks like he had a high priced makeover, blow dried hair and all."

One found the depiction of Jesus to be similar to the WWE superstar John Cena and stated, "I thought it was an unshaven John Cena."

Another user found the sketch's Jesus to look like the hard rock musician and guitarist Ted Nugent as they said, "I think that’s Ted Nugent with long hair."

The netizens didn't even leave out Travis Kelce from the analogies, as someone noted, "That's Jesus? I thought it was that Kansas City Chiefs' tight-end dude."

A naysayer wrote, "MAGA’s Jesus doesn’t help the sick, poor, homeless or downtrodden."

Donald Trump as the 'chosen one' of God

The discourse of Donald Trump getting the support of God is not a new concept, as the idea that he was the chosen one played a "major role" in his win during the 2016 presidential election was believed by not less than 57% of evangelicals, according to a survey conducted by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in 2017.

In 2019, CNN reported that when Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody asked the White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders in an interview about her thoughts on Trump being supported by God, she replied with an affirmation.

Brody asked, "Does it kind of blow your mind that someone like Donald Trump, who is sitting in the Oval Office," before adding, "I know you can list the accomplishments, but at the same time just from a spiritual perspective, there are a lot of Christians who believe that for such a time as this."

Replying on the cue of "For such a time as this" which is a reference to the Bible’s Book of Esther, where an unassuming savior protected the Jews from persecution, Sanders explained, "I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times," and added, "And I think he wanted Donald Trump to become president and that’s why he’s there."

In the same 2017 survey, it was however, reported that 47% of non-White Protestants, 21% of White Mainline Protestants, and 22% of Catholics believed in God’s intervention during the 2016 election.

The Pentecostal publisher Stephen Strang also apparently propagated the same theory by writing in his book ‘God and Donald Trump’.

Strang claimed, "It was as if God had answered our prayers and the impossible had happened. We had a new president: one we believed God had raised up for such a time as this."
