Less than 24 hours before Christians across the world began celebrating Easter, failed one-term twice-impeached former president Donald Trump declared on social media that he too was being crucified.
In a posting on his Truth Social site, Trump shared an article entitled, “The Crucifixion of Donald Trump.”
The article, which was written by Tim Constantine, argues that Trump has been persecuted in the same way Christ was.
(Trump is) living proof that certain elements of mankind, in a quest for power, are willing to sacrifice, are willing to crucify another human being.
One would hope that Americans, even those who despise Mr. Trump, have no interest in the courts being used as a political tool to punish political opponents. One would hope.
Pilate knew better. Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron know better. Fani Willis knows better. Jack Smith knows better. Yet like Pilate, their desire to maintain a grasp on political power is greater than their respect for the law.
Perhaps the biggest remaining question is regardless of how the courtroom crucifixions go, whether Mr. Trump will experience his own political resurrection this November.
That’s not just absurd. It’s also blasphemous and should offend anyone who calls themself a Christian.
Trump’s posting was immediately panned on social media.
