“No need to share the President’s blasphemous post,” posted Ed Stetzer, dean of the Talbot School of Theology and editor-in-chief of Outreach Magazine. “No need to list all the ways you agree with him before saying it is wrong.

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote, “On Orthodox Easter, President Trump attacked the Pope because the Pope is rightly against Trump’s war in Iran and then he posted this picture of himself as if he is replacing Jesus.”

Worship leader Sean Feucht posted, “This should be deleted immediately. There’s no context where this is acceptable.”

Prominent SBC Pastor Tom Ascol shared that his congregation prays for Trump every Sunday. “We pray for @realDonaldTrump every Sunday—that God will reveal Christ saintly to him, give him wisdom, & confound wicked counsel that comes to him, like whatever (whoever) led him to believe posting this was a good idea.” Ascol added, “Lord, have mercy on him!”
