Trump Skips Easter Church to Take Self-Worship Tour of D.C.

STATIONS OF TRUMP
Rather than attend Easter services, the president spent the day roaming D.C. and visiting his golf course.

Laura Esposito Updated Apr. 5 2026 1:31PM EDT


Donald Trump, a Christian, opted to skip Easter service and instead went on a bizarre tour of Washington, D.C.

The 79-year-old president spent Easter Sunday taking a “ceremoniously slow” presidential motorcade tour around Memorial Circle—close to the Arlington Memorial Bridge, where he hopes to build an arch honoring himself, according to pool reports.

During his travels, he also stopped at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

Im betting as his health declines, his little group of power hungry cabinet members will increasingly view for the seat. All of whom are such disgusting people they'll surely start pointing fingers or naming names. Trump will most likely pass, the world will cheer, then, our empire's final breath will need to start a collective process of healing and rebuilding social bonds. Yes, we SHOULD already be doing this (should've never allowed this in the first place. But. Here we are). Coming together and finally ousting the root problems; America's structural racism, and capitalism. From there, we shall see.
Good luck, every body.
Be kind. Fuck nazis.

Some people, before they die, and have the ability, will do these types of site seeing trips as a one last look sort of thing.

I think he either won’t make it to the midterms or die soon after. Or perhaps I’m just hoping really hard

Before my friend's mom died, she asked my friend to drive her out to her home town and did a tour of the spots out there that had meant something to her then a spin around Minneapolis to see her old haunts (or where they had been).

I wouldn't have thought of this on my own, but now that you mention it, I've heard of an instance or two of this being done. It's been at least two decades ago, which is why I wouldn't have thought of it.

He looks horrible. Cap on because he can no longer style his own hair. Can't stand up straight. And who holds their phone with two hands while walking?

Remember how he had to lift that glass with two hands? Why can't he handle objects with one hand?

These MAGA Christians want a religion without mercy.

Some are preaching that empathy is a sin.

Or another way to say it: they want mercy that they deny to others.

Trump demanded an apology when Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde asked for mercy

"There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives."
