JD Vance, a Catholic convert who occasionally has sparred with church leaders over their criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said in an interview on Fox News Channel on Monday night that the president’s social media post with the Jesus-like image was “a joke.”

“Of course, he took it down because he realized a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor,” Vance said.

He repeatedly dismissed the focus on the president’s fight with the pope, saying it “isn’t particularly newsworthy” and there will be disagreements from time to time with the Vatican.

But Vance also suggested the pope should stay in his lane.

    Wasn’t it supposed to be a doctor? What’s the “joke” then?

    These morons aren’t just criminals and liars.

    They are also criminally bad at lying.

        He’s actually distracting him while they clean out his bank accounts as he lay dying, and twisting the knife in his ribs for his bitcoin password.

        Trumps cope was that he was dressed like a doctor. Surprised that was his defense and not the classic, “an intern posted this”.

          He is out of his mind is the thing. His handlers, the project 2025 people, can’t keep him from shitposting at midnight apparently. Seriously, he’s out of it, entirely.
