President Trump Reveals the Reason He Deleted Meme Supposedly Depicting Himself as Jesus Christ – Responds to Harsh Criticism from Supporter Riley Gaines

President Trump has now revealed why he deleted a post allegedly depicting himself as Jesus Christ on Truth Social, as he continues to fire back at criticism from even his own supporters.

As The New York Post reported, Trump told CBS News last night that, while he normally would double down on such a post, he felt he needed to make an exception because his supporters were so befuddled.

“Normally, I don’t like doing that,” the President explained. “But I didn’t want to have anybody be confused.”

“People were confused.”

Trump also responded harshly to conservative women’s rights activist Riley Gaines, who had some choice words for him over the meme on X:

Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he’d post this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this?”

Either way, two things are true

1) a little humility would serve him well
2) God shall not be mocked

The president refused to let those words slide.

“I didn’t listen to Riley Gaines,” Trump told CBS News. “I’m not a big fan of Riley, actually.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Trump took heat from the media and even some allies after posting an AI-generated image that critics rushed to label “blasphemous.”

The controversy erupted after Trump shared an image on Truth Social showing himself in flowing robes, appearing to heal a man, imagery that many in the media immediately framed as “Christ-like.” The president later deleted the post without explanation.

Here’s the image:

After a national uproar ensued, Trump explained during a news conference that he believed the meme depicted him as a Red Cross doctor.

“Well, it wasn’t depicted—it was me. I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with the Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support,” Trump said. “And only the fake news could come up with that one.”

“So I had—I just heard about it, and I said, ‘How did they come up with that?’ It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better—I make people a lot better.”

Kimmel’s Conspicuous Silence After Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Disgraced Swalwell

Kimmel’s Conspicuous Silence After Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Disgraced Swalwell

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was beaming when disgraced Democrat Eric Swalwell announced his bid for California governor  on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

After troubling revelations about Swalwell have unfolded, Kimmel has been notably quiet.

Instead of addressing the numerous, disturbing allegations against Swalwell, the partisan Kimmel instead continued his attacks on Republicans.

Fox News reports that during Monday night’s show, Kimmel focused on President Trump’s social media posts, his “No Tax on Tips” event at the White House, the Iran negotiations, and first lady Melania Trump’s remarks about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Swalwell resigned from Congress just one day after he dropped out of the California governor’s race.

On Monday, the House Ethics Committee on launched an investigation into Swalwell amid allegations of sexual assault.

The Manhattan District Attorney has also launched an investigation into Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell over serious allegations of sexual assault.

Four women have come forward on Swalwell so far with allegations of sexual assault.

One woman told CNN that Swalwell raped her in 2024 after he sexually assaulted her in 2019.

Another Swalwell accuser will appear at a press conference in Beverly Hills on Tuesday with her attorneys.

Martin Shkreli and Jack Posobiec shared disturbing videos exposing Swalwell’s bizarre hotel room antics with an alleged sex worker.

On Monday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) dropped bombshell new details that have emerged that could send the serial scandal-plagued congressman straight to prison.

During an appearance with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Luna claimed that new forensic evidence and witness accounts suggest the now-viral hotel room video allegedly involving Swalwell is not only authentic but may involve an underage individual behind the camera.

For now, only silence from Kimmel.

Another Swalwell accuser came forward and spoke at press conference in Beverly Hills on Tuesday morning.

The 5th Swalwell accuser to come forward, Lonna Drews, is represented by attorney Lisa Bloom.

“I represent a brave Eric Swalwell accuser. Her disturbing story is forthcoming. We call upon him to resign from Congress and the governor’s race, and we will cooperate with authorities in their investigation,” Lisa Bloom (Gloria Allred’s daughter) said on Monday evening before the press conference.

Lisa Bloom also disclosed that three other women have contacted her in the last 24 hours with accusations against Eric Swalwell.

Lonna Drews recounted how Eric Swalwell drugged and raped her in 2018 and choked her to the point of unconsciousness in a West Hollywood hotel room.

“In 2018, while I was living and working as a model in Beverly Hills, and I also owned a fashion software company, I had contact with Eric Swalwell on three separate occasions,” the alleged sexual assault victim, Lonna Drews, said.

“I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant. He was my friend. On the third occasion, I believe he drugged my drink,” she said.

Lana Drews said Swalwell drugged her drink and violently raped her.

“He raped me, and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness. And I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity,” she said threw tears.

“I would never have engaged in a consensual sexual encounter with Eric Swalwell,” she said.

WATCH:

Lisa Bloom absolutely shredded Swalwell during the press conference.

Bloom called Swalwell’s statement about sexual misconduct a “slap in the face to the victims.”

Attorney Bloom said she will be filing police charges against Swalwell.

A new Swalwell accuser has broken her silence for the first time, revealing how she luckily escaped the now-former Democrat congressman’s attempts to seduce her.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Eric Swalwell (D-China) is facing explosive accusations of sexual misconduct from several women, including a former staffer who claims he ra*ed her twice.

The allegations of the former staffer, who was the first to come forward, were initially reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.

While speaking with CBS’s Nancy Cordes on Tuesday alongside fellow Swalwell accuser Ally Sammarco, Annika Albrecht revealed her own harrowing experience with the former congressman.

Albrecht explained that while she was in college, Swalwell offered to stay in touch and mentor her after meeting with her student group in Washington, DC.

“That was an incredibly generous offer that I felt very lucky to have,” she said.

Swalwell then created a group chat on Snapchat with all the students and later added Albrecht as a friend on the messaging app.

Confused, Albrecht then asked the other students if Swalwell added them as friends, and they said no. Even more creepily, she was the only woman in the meeting.

Swalwell started out talking politics to her, but then his messages turned seductive and dark.

“Ultimately, it reached a point where he invited me to a hotel to meet him,” Albrecht said. “It was very clear what the connotation was.”

“At that point, I completely stopped responding.”

WATCH:

Albrecht later added that she got lucky.

“What I keep thinking back to is lucky I am that I didn’t go to that hotel,” Albrecht said.

“For me, justice won’t be until he can’t ever harm a woman ever again, and he has faced the consequences for the women that he has harmed,” she added.

Justice may soon be on the way. TGP notes that both the House Ethics Committee and the Manhattan District Attorney have launched an investigation into Swalwell.

In an attempt to avoid accountability, Swalwell abruptly resigned from Congress Monday night.

But he should remain worried, especially because his own party has deemed him expendable.
