Many of us have spoken out about him since he first came on the political scene, and have also been astonished at the way some people have followed and defended him under the guise of their religion.

We have been witness to an escalation in his demented acts, and this meme is (as you said) the latest in a long line. In my belief, it is complete and utter blasphemy. Taking it down or trying to explain it away did not erase the fact that he felt confident enough and egotistical enough to put it up in the first place. That is what the real issue is.

Shame on him and anyone who makes excuses for him doing this.
