Trump shared an image of himself with Courtroom Jesus and the takedowns were biblical
Donald Trump is currently on trial in New York, accused – along with two of his sons and the Trump Organization – of exaggerating the value of his assets by more than two billion dollars.
The civil case is being tried by Judge Arthur Engoron and attorney Kevin Wallace after Trump’s legal team failed to apply for a trial by jury.
One Trump fan posted a ‘court drawing’ of the main defendant sitting with what seems to be Jesus at his side. White Jesus, obviously.
As well as a worrying number of people agreeing, there was a substantial amount of mockery.

I'm confused.
Is Jesus meant be his lawyer, or his co-defendant? https://t.co/qxI38cbt1Q— Humanist Quaker (@HumanistQuaker) October 3, 2023

Almost inevitably, Trump shared it on Truth Social.

The ridicule level was substantially ramped up. These are our favourites so far.

Just when you think he’s stooped to a new low, he gets even more offensive. Trump posts “court sketch” image of himself seated next to Jesus in court. Who, exactly, are these MAGA rubes that still support him? All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. pic.twitter.com/8KhDfHHsGR

Part of me wishes this were a real court sketch just to see the outcome when trump loses and blames Jesus for being a shit attorney and encourages all his fans to dunk on him 'and his rubbish church which doesn't even have a golf course' https://t.co/p9B1irbpd7

Debate all you want, but this courtroom sketch proves the presence of Christ watching over our apostle President Trump. pic.twitter.com/Kwwo2sFSNE

There's a far better chance that it's a drawing of Judas.
And even he is embarrassed to be in such despicable company. https://t.co/Ab4rP65gA6— MarTigress (@TheMartiScott) October 3, 2023

The arrogance is astounding. Not only has #Trump distributed a "courtroom sketch" of yesterday's hearing in #NYC that has Jesus at his side, but Christ is a white blond guy who looks like a Trump cousin.

Jeremy Newberger arguably produced something funnier.
Sorry, it was my first day on the job as courtroom sketch artist. Although I hear mine might be better than the Jesus one. pic.twitter.com/ldy4KQ0LIL

When it’s your first day on the job, you’re allowed the odd Wookiee mistake.
