The image, unsurprisingly, triggered much backlash even from conservative commentators. But when Trump was asked by a White House reporter about the now-deleted image, he claimed that “it’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better”.

“That’s you as a doctor? Why don’t you own it, you big puss bag?” Stewart retorted. “Do you even care about lying to us any more? Is it over? Has this relationship gone still? Your lies used to have a real spark: ‘They’re eating the cats and dogs,’ ‘Venezuela stole the 2020 election.’ And now the best you’ve got is: ‘Oh, it wasn’t Jesus. I’m a doctor.’ You need to find your happy place, and fast. We expect better lies, sir.”

“Wait so we’re blockading Iran’s blockade?” Colbert wondered. “That’s actually genius. It’s like a plumber saying ‘you know, some guys would unclog this toilet. But I’m going to play some 12-dimensional chess and double clog it.’”

“This little detour into messiah status did not get Trump the reaction he was hoping for from the Christian community,” he continued. “Overall, they’re not on board with the whole false idols thing. And a lot of people were upset. So Trump or his team deleted the post, which is notable because his account almost never deletes his crazy posts. Last week, when he threatened to kill a civilization, that’s still up. The Jesus post is down. So you know this one was trouble.”
