   When you think about it, President Trump and Jesus Christ are a lot alike.   
   Except President Trump shuns alcohol and would never drink all that wine   
   that Jesus did.   I wonder what President Trump's thoughts are on   
   Crucifixion using nails?   
      
      
   Billboard Hailing Donald Trump As Second Coming of Jesus Appears in Georgia   
      
   A billboard comparing former President Donald Trump to the Son of God,   
   Jesus Christ, has appeared in Georgia.   
   Washington Post political reporter Eugene Scott was the first to draw   
   attention to the advertisement on social media, posting an image of the   
   distinctive display panel to Twitter alongside a caption that simply read:   
   "Wow!"   
   The billboard features a picture of Trump looking stoically into the middle   
   distance alongside what is purported to be a Bible quote from Romans 8:17,   
   which reads: "Unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his   
   shoulders."

   This is, in fact, a misquote. In reality, that particular chapter and verse   
   of the Bible reads: "Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God   
   and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order   
   that we may also share in his glory."   
   The billboard quote appears to have been paraphrased from Isaiah 9:6, which   
   reads: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government   
   will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty   
   God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."   
   According to Dan Landrum, another Twitter user, the billboard has been put   
   up near the city of Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia.

   Newsweek has reached out to the company that appears to own the billboard   
   space, Reagan Outdoor Advertising, for confirmation of the sign's   
   existence.   
   Fort Oglethorpe is part of both Catoosa County and Walker County. Both   
   counties are part of Georgia's 14th congressional district which is   
   represented by Marjorie Taylor Greene.   
   A Republican and staunch Trump supporter, Greene has previously courted   
   controversy after appearing to champion a series of baseless conspiracy   
   theories on social media. More recently, she was suspended from Twitter   
   back in August after claiming that the vaccines designed to combat COVID-19   
   were "failing."   
   Earlier this month, she also spoke out in opposition to President Joe   
   Biden's vaccine mandate plans, claiming, incorrectly, that it violated the   
   Nuremberg Code established after the Second World War to prevent a repeat   
   of the atrocities carried out by Nazi Germany.   
      
      
   This is not the first time Trump has drawn comparison with Jesus Christ.   
   Christian preacher Shane Vaughn, a conservative and keen Trump supporter,   
   previously compared Facebook's decision to suspend the ex-commander in   
   chief to Satan's decision to kill Jesus.   
      
   "They made the same mistake that Satan made when he killed Jesus Christ,"   
   he said on a video posted to YouTube. "By killing one man, and killing his   
   voice, he created a world full of little Christians that echo the message   
   of Christ," Vaughn continued. "See, stupid on the Devil's part."   
      
   Trump's own religious beliefs remain a source of much debate. In one   
   instance, during his time in office, the former president drew derision   
   after appearing to suggest Joseph, rather than God, was Jesus' father.
