Actor Jon Voight is an avid supporter of failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, but a video he made in which he compares Trump to Jesus is leading to lots of discussion on social media.
According to HuffPost, Trump shared Voight’s video on his failing Truth Social site.
Voight, a longtime follower of the four-times-indicted Trump, claimed the Republican 2024 front-runner “has been targeted for his information that can knock down the corrupt swamp” and is “the only man that can destroy the negative propaganda that has been sworn into this office.”
The video also has Voight intoning, “Can he be saved with the American people who believe in God’s glory? Can we save our nation from the dark cloud that has been put upon our life’s dreams? Yes. Because Joshua promised the land of hospitality and his sword of righteousness. Fought the battles left and right. The battles of right and wrong.”
At the end of the video, Voight remarks, “Believe. That the man that can help this nation, the one man that was ridiculed, destroyed as Jesus, Trump, can come back and save the American dream for all. And make America great with the dignity, with the power of who she is.”
The video was a bridge too far for many on Twitter/X, who shared their thoughts on Voight and his comparison of the Donald to Jesus.
