(22,823 posts)1. Whoa, that's not something I ever would have thought of! 😆
It's a very clever pun, but I actually had to look at it a couple of times before the meaning registered with me. I think I was thrown off because C3PO embodies so many qualities that I do NOT associate with Schlump. You know, things like excellent communication skills, a sense of responsibility, devotion to duty, loyalty to comrades, etc. I've always been very fond of that droid, so seeing THAT face in place of his made me go "yikes," for a moment there. But yeah, that caption REALLY fits!

MAGA pastor says Trump has 'better understanding' of Bible than the Pope
by Nick Hilden
Alternet, May 9, 2026
Its been a strange year for presidential-papal relations as the Trump administration has spent the past several months antagonizing the Pope. Now in the latest installment of this unholy saga, a prominent MAGA pastor has declared that Trump has a better understanding of the Bible than the head of the Catholic Church.
Appearing on Fox News on Saturday, firebrand Pastor Robert Jeffress took issue with the Pontiff. While he did call the Pope a good man who is sincere in his faith, he went on to say that he is sincerely wrong when it comes to Iran.
God created the church and government for two distinct purposes, asserted Jeffress, saying it was the job of the former to bring people to Jesus and of the latter to protect citizens. The great irony is it looks like President Trump has a better understanding of what the Bible teaches about the rule of the government than the Pope has.
While he claims to be a Christian, Trump is famously ignorant of the Bible, having made repeated gaffes when asked about his scriptural views. Even so, his political movement has been largely driven by the support of Christians, particularly evangelicals.
