Whatever shred of irony that was left in this mess of a presidential administration, JD Vance just murdered it.
The vice president sat down for a podcast chat with Bryce Crawford and dove headfirst into a certifiably insane discussion that ranged from UFOs to prophecies of the end times to the spiritual condition of Silicon Valley.
In that already unhinged discussion, Crawford raised the topic of President Donald Trump’s infamous AI Jesus picture—the one he posted to Truth Social on Orthodox Easter, no less —depicting himself as Jesus, complete with white robes and a red sash.
Apparently, the image really stuck in Crawford’s craw, and he let JD know.
“I’m a Christian. I saw the photo. It made me upset. I’m not gonna lie,” Crawford told the vice president of the AI Trump Jesus photo. “My personal opinion — I don’t know how he thought he was a doctor in the photo.”
“I mean, he was in a white robe with a red sash on it, you know? And that makes me upset as a Christian,” the podcast host complained.
“So it’s like, did Donald Trump mean to post a meme of himself as God? No,” Vance replied, inadvertently asserting that his boss isn’t blasphemous, just stupid. “I — he did not mean to mock or mimic God. That’s just not who he is.”
