Former President Donald Trump posted a message from a fan which led to comparison between him and Jesus Christ — and he did it as he sat in court for the Stormy Daniels hush money case via Mediaite.
Trump recently launched a rant about a different set of legal woes — namely, the bond to appeal payment of the fraud judgment that could cost him over $460 million if appeals are unsuccessful.
And reporters were waiting Monday for Trump to appear in court before Judge Juan Merchan for a hearing in the case that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has brought involving hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, which resulted in a several-dozen-count indictment of Trump.
After arriving at court, Trump briefly addressed reporters, saying “This is a witch hunt. This is a witch hunt. It’s a hoax.”
But about half an hour after complaining to reporters on his way into the courtroom, Trump posted what he called a “beautiful” message he got from a supporter that drew a biblical comparison to the porn star hush money defendant using the Book of Psalms:
Received this morning—Beautiful, thank you!
“It’s ironic that Christ walked through His greatest persecution the very week they are trying to steal your property from you. But have you seen this verse…?”
Psalm 109:3–8 (NKJV):
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without a cause.
In return for my love they are my accusers,
But I give myself to prayer.
Thus they have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.
Set a wicked man over him,
And let an accuser stand at his right hand.
When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
And let his prayer become sin.
Let his days be few,
And let another take his office

“I’m praying this over you daily. So many praying for you. Thank you again for taking the arrows intended for us. We love you ”
