A golden-hooved goat statue at Mar-a-Lago that's covered in cash with the slogan "In Trump we Trust" on it feels like something straight out of the Bible.

President Donald Trump was criticized after images circulated of a golden-hooved goat statue at Mar-a-Lago that's covered in cash with the slogan "In Trump we Trust" on it, replacing "God" in the phrase “In God we trust” with Trump.

Yes, you read that correctly.


The statue is mounted on a black base featuring an American flag on one side and bears the inscription "I love you" accompanied by Trump's signature.

The images reminded some people of the story of the Golden Calf in the Bible, a commentary on those who drift away from faith.

The story begins at the same time as Moses' experience on Mount Sinai, while he was receiving the Ten Commandments.

As impatience grew among the Israelites during Moses’ absence, they sought a new object of worship. They gathered their gold jewelry, melted it down, and crafted a Golden Calf, proclaiming it as their god. God, seeing their betrayal, was prepared to destroy them in his wrath, but Moses pleaded on their behalf.

Descending from the mountain with the stone tablets inscribed by God, Moses witnessed the Israelites celebrating around the Golden Calf. Overcome with anger, he shattered the tablets at the mountain’s base. He then burned the idol, ground it into powder, scattered it over the water, and made the people drink it as a symbol of their wrongdoing.

God instructed Moses to continue leading the Israelites to the promised land of Canaan, where He would meet them again. However, as a consequence of their idolatry, a plague struck the people before their journey resumed.

Considering the way many people have lost themselves to Trump's MAGA cult, many saw significant parallels.



If there's one thing that can be said about this display it's that MAGA Republicans are, as Tim Walz made clear, very weird.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
