6 Christian figures react to Trump post depicting himself as Jesus-like healer: 'Blasphemy'

By Samantha Kamman, Christian Post Reporter

2. Michael Knowles

Michael Knowles, host of The Daily Wire podcast “The Michael Knowles Show,” reacted during a Monday episode, describing the post as an “art meme” that was intended to be “kinda trolly.”

Knowles suggested the president shared the image to signal that he is “healing” the country and is “great” for it and noted that Trump may believe he has been supportive of Christians by pardoning pro-life activists convicted under the FACE Act and appointing U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.

“But the post is sacrilegious. It just is. It’s just inescapable. It’s just a sacrilegious post,” Knowles said. “To put oneself in the position of Christ is just sacrilegious.”

While he said he does not believe Trump intended to be sacrilegious, Knowles added that it would benefit the president “spiritually and politically” to remove it.
