MAGA clergy bless 22-foot gold Trump statue at Doral
Pastor Mark Burns led evangelical and Jewish clergy in dedicating and blessing a 22 foot, gold leafed statue of Donald Trump in Doral, Florida. Clergy formed a circle around the gilded effigy and carried out a public blessing and dedication. The display ties explicit religious ritual to partisan support for Trump, signaling some faith leaders are using sacred symbolism to endorse a political figure.
Trump called in as MAGA religious leaders dedicated the giant golden statue of himself at his Doral golf club
Normal person: “This is literally in the Bible as something not to do.” MAGA: “Cry more commielib.”

What about the 2nd Commandment? You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them….
Oh goodie. Something to knock down.
That's quite a golden calf they have there.
This cartoonist saw this coming a decade ago.
I would demolish his golden statue
It's crazy how on-the-money they were with this
Oh the irony that these right wing "Christians" have a golden calf to worship now...
Another gift to dems. Make it a poster. Looks like it got TP’d???
Trump is MAGA’s golden calf.
God I can't wait to tear all this shit down.
I knew they'd get around to the golden idol sooner or later. Pretty much what I've come to expect from the twice-impeached criminally seditious traitor and 34-time CONVICTED FELON sociopathic antichrist fraudster.
Just straight up Golden Calf-ing himself for the Christofascists. Looking forward to the toppling and beating in of spraypainted plaster.
Seriously did none of these people ever see The Ten Commandments 😉 youtu.be/Id6oS3L-D9A?...
What an abomination for these “leaders” who apparently are unaware of idolatry and failing to rebuke Trump.
It's not a cult. Also, libations, tithes, and prayers for divine mercy may be left on the pedestal. Ask one of the priests in ceremonial long red neckties before making sacrifices at the altar.
None of these people have read the Old Testament. There’s a specific bit about a golden statue that they might be interested in
So many professed Christians just gibbikty gooblty at the feet of outright golden idols these days
Worshipping false idols. How American Evangelical
Remember that scene in "The Ten Commandments" where Moses smashes the stone tablets on the golden calf, and it causes an earthquake, and it opens up the Earth and the worshippers and followers fall to hell... yeah... like that.
Admittedly it will be fun to see the myriad of ways this thing is defaced.
Table of false idol party of one. Table of false idol party of one.

MAGA’s worshipping a golden idol. 🙄 Isn’t that in their Big Book and Commandments stating do not do that?! 😂
And the kicker: Not just dedicated, but blessed by evangelical preachers! Protestants worshipping a statue. Idolatry, one of the reasons for their break with Catholicism in the 1500’s.
It looks like someone TP’d it. Isn’t it very like the golden calf in the Bible? It seems like a violation of the First Commandment.
Something something golden calf ...
Can't wait to see it torn down & destroyed.
I know people are comparing this idol to the biblical golden bull but all I see is a golden pig.
They just spray painted the one from Central Park and put it in Doral.
I think there is a story in the bible about worshipping golden statues.
Well, it's not a golden bull, but it is a golden bullshitter. 🤣
I love that it is hideous
They’re not religious leaders, they’re CULT leaders.
It’s all so on the nose
Why is his hand so tiny?
Psycho's...the lot of them, pure Psycho's!!!
Looks like someone has already TP’ed it 👍
For those who think there's a gray zone of good and bad for Trump take a look. His followers are idolators, plain and simple. They have no ethical principles, no humane values, no respect for fact--they have perverted all government to please their god, and they will continue until they are stopped.
This would be a good place to post the 10 Commandments.
Why is there toilet paper around his neck?
MAGA worships a false god, obviously. He has grabbed each and every one of them (the guys, too) by the pussy and they let him. He also grabbed them by the wallet and the voters ballot.
Clearly, posting the 10 Commandments has not increased their comprehension of the concepts.
Why didn't he fly in? 🤔
Hope a flock of pigeons find it.
Really, there's just something fundamentally wrong with Trump. And yet much of MAGA persists in viewing him as this vibrant, really smart and virile leader. Sheesh.
This is Christopher Guest levels of parody IRL… 🤦🏻♂️
The toilet paper draped around this piece of shit is certainly a nice touch, isn't it?
How is he not embarrassed by that? It’s embarrassing how stupid it looks
All born agains within MAGA are frauds and crooks.
Is there going to be a fiery furnace?
Looks like it already got tp-ed.
Worshiping a false idol! 🙄
“I keep thinking about what Pope Leo XIV said. ‘But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.’ That is what occurred at Doral.” open.substack.com/pub/lettersf...
Former chaplain here. As I recall, the worship of the golden calf did not end well for those who participated...
The people thumping the Bible the hardest seemed to overlook that calf story.
Trump believes he’s above God. @andertoon.bsky.social
No one trolls Christianity harder than Trump Christians
God sent us Pope Leo. He’s desperately-needed because Trump & partners-in-crime continue to do the work of the devil‼️
Trump is a total loser and a major creep! Why would anyone make a statue of him is just insane
So much for the second commandment
It's making me think of Lot saying to Trump, "God told me to tell you to look back."
Nothing says MAGA like worshipping a golden pig
The cautionary tale of the golden calf from Exodus 32 is instructive here. The golden idol ends up ground to powder and the worshippers forced to eat it .
Continued evidence it's a cult: Graven Images -- check!!
Pastor for Trump dedicates Golden Idol at the Doral National Country Club in Florida, as audience gasps. “This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.”
He did not invite them to make sacrifices on the altar erected in front of the Golden Idol, however.
“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf,” he said. “This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.” We have some dumb fuckers in the USA.
