MAGA evangelical leaders gathered this week at Mar-a-Lago and at Trump National Doral Miami to bless and dedicate a towering gold statue honoring President Donald Trump , in a ceremony that is already drawing praise from supporters and criticism from opponents who compared the spectacle to religious idolatry.

The 22-foot gold-leafed statue, dubbed "Don Colossus," depicts Trump with his fist raised, recreating the gesture he made after surviving the July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The sculpture was unveiled on Wednesday during a dedication ceremony led by evangelical pastor Mark Burns, one of Trump's closest religious allies.

Burns, who has repeatedly described Trump as protected by God, told attendees the statue was "not a golden calf" but rather "a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the willpower to keep fighting for the future of America."

You would see his supporters telling you another story.

This man's mumu is of biblical proportion ooo.

Christianity, what a religion
This following passage comes to mind. Matthew 7:22–23.
It says:

“Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out devils, and in your name do many wonderful works?’
And then will I profess unto them, ‘I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.’” (KJV)

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Seems the world is truly coming to an end.

Watch as data boys will insult Christianity now

NOETHNICITY:

That's idol worship, not Christianity

As much as I like some of what trump is doing this is the one of the most nonsensical things I’ve seen him do/approve. This is what I’d expect of third world leaders. Not someone like him. Even with all the rubbish you have done you still stoop this low?

NOETHNICITY:

That is not Christianity. That is people doing what they want and trying to play the religion card for validation.

NOETHNICITY:

Is still take this over a religion that wants to behead everyone who is not Muslim and says it is ok to grape women as long as they are not Muslims.

But that's a statue of a rapist and a man who says it's okay to gripe women.

Low has always been Trump. The lowest. The filthiest. Downright classless gutter dirt. That's Trump.

I hear a lot of people saying "this is idolatry".

No my dear friends, this is a man doing his stuff.

Idolatry means building or making images and other insignias for the purpose of worship.

This statue is strictly to commemorate his survival of a brutal assassination attempt.

He never told anyone to worship it.

Happy Sunday.

The actions of Christians reminds of the words of Jesus himself, that he will reject Christians on the day of judgement

Signs and wonders happen where there's money...

How dare you compare a demigod with a mere human!

I demand an apology!

Not only do people already worship Trump as God and Christ, he puts himself out for such.

It’s better than killing others in the name of religion

There we go!

Point proven!

But Hegseth cites Christianity as his basis and inspiration in the war against Iran.

NOETHNICITY:

If there were in fact such a day of judgment certainly almost every Trumpist would be rejected.

And that’s how North Korea became North Korea, IDOLIZATION.

Christianity has already insulted itself.
