Trump revealed he received a tip that the Manhattan DA’s office would be charging him on Tuesday in the Stormy Daniels ‘Hush Money’ case. If he is correct, Trump is facing indictment over a $130,000 hush money payment he allegedly made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.

"President Trump will be arrested during Lent—a time of suffering and purification for the followers of Jesus Christ," Joseph D. McBride, a conservative lawyer known for defending several January 6 defendants wrote on Twitter. "As Christ was crucified, and then rose again on the 3rd day, so too will [Donald Trump]. Violence is never the answer. Winning the election is. Vote for Trump!"

He added in a further tweet: "JESUS LOVES DONALD TRUMP. JESUS DIED FOR DONALD TRUMP. JESUS LIVES INSIDE DONALD TRUMP. DEAL WITH IT."

This isn’t the first time Trump’s conservative supporters compared him to Jesus Christ. “When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers,” said Loudermilk, who represents Georgia’s 11th congressional district. “During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this President in this process.”

Continuing in a completely erroneous and seemingly un-hinged tweet, McBride said “King David was a cursing fisherman who cut the ear off a Roman in the presence of Jesus. Yet he was the 1st Pope. Jesus loves Donald Trump the same, no matter his shortcomings.”

In the Bible, King David lived thousands of years before Jesus walked the Earth, and according to the Catholic Canon, Peter was the ‘rock’ the church was founded on and is considered by them to be the first Pope.
