Jon Stewart, ever the master of satire, takes on a new challenge: determining whether Donald Trump is a mere king or the King of Kings. In a playful twist, Stewart introduces a game called 'Jesus or Trump' to explore this very question. The context? A recent protest, the No Kings Day, where 7 million Americans donned inflatable frog costumes to stand against authoritarianism. This movement brought a sense of relief and joy to Stewart, who had been weary of the constant fearmongering from the Republican Party. The protest's success, with 2,700 events nationwide, marked a significant moment in history, and Stewart couldn't help but smile at the sight of it all.
However, the real controversy arises when Stewart suggests that Trump is being viewed as a deity by some Republicans. He points out the irony in their complaints about being called a king, given their belief that Trump has already surpassed that title and is a divine figure sent by God for a higher purpose. Stewart's playful 'Jesus or Trump' game further emphasizes this point, as he showcases the absurdity of Trump's supporters' adoration, comparing him to a 'miracle worker' and a 'Jesus-like figure.'
The article concludes with a powerful statement from Senator Bernie Sanders, who succinctly summarizes the religious nature of Trump's supporters, describing their religion as greed. This leaves readers with a thought-provoking question: Are Trump's supporters truly religious, or is there a more complex dynamic at play?
