Donald Trump exhibits an awareness of his cult-like standing among supporters, evidenced by past statements of invincibility. Post-2024 comeback, he's amplifying this persona, notably portraying himself as king and suggesting ambition for papacy. His April photo in papal attire sparked backlash among conservatives, revealing discomfort in his appropriation of religious symbolism. The reaction from notable Catholics, including Cardinal Dolan, reflects growing tensions within the faith regarding Trump's antics, pointing to potential fragmentation in Trump’s support among traditional conservative voters.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay? ... It's, like, incredible."
"I run the country and the world."
It wasn't good. As Italians say, it was brutta figura (embarrassing).
There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr.
