Trump’s Easter Message Is Blasphemous and Immoral
Responding to the comparison of President Trump to Jesus Christ at a White House Easter luncheon, Father Brian Jordan dismissed the assertion, stating, “Donald Trump is no more Jesus Christ than I am an astronaut on Pluto.” Jordan criticized those who agreed with such comparisons, labeling them “champions of clever sophistry” who profess Christian words but whose actions do not reflect care for the marginalized. He contrasted Trump’s approach with Christ’s, emphasizing Jesus’ desire for peace and aid to the hungry, while also questioning the justification of wars in Iran and Ukraine. Jordan’s ministry at St. Francis of Assisi demonstrably aligns with these principles, evident in his long-standing service to the poor, immigrants, and first responders.
