During an Evangelicals for Trump rally at the King Jesus International Ministry in Miami, President Donald Trump employed his usual MAGA rally tactics of lies, propaganda and childish name calling.

The self-proclaimed devoutly Christian crowd cheered loudly as he called his political opponents names and provided alternative facts.


One target for Trump was former South Bend, Indiana mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.

The President told his Evangelical worshippers—whose leaders declared Trump the "chosen one" and "King of the Jews"—"We have God on our side" which the God later disputed on Twitter.

Trump added:

"The extreme left is trying to replace religion with government and replace God with socialism."

Then Trump—who never associated himself with Christianity nor attended church prior to courting Evangelical voters during his 2016 campaign—targeted Pete Buttigieg as a fake Christian. The Indiana mayor has written about his lifelong, well documented connection to his Christian faith.

The President—using one of the many puerile nicknames he creates for political opponents—said:

"And I see Alfred E Neuman comes out and he's trying to pretend he's very religious. Alfred E. Neuman you know who that is, right?"

Uncertain anyone would get his 1970s pop culture reference, the 73 year-old President clarified.

"Buttigieg, you go 'boot' and then 'edge, edge,' because nobody can pronounce his name so they call him 'Mayor Pete'."

Then babbled a bit in his signature speaking style.

"Now Mayor Pete I hope he does great. Boot-edge-edge."

Trump finally added his expert assessment on the devotion of another Christian to their faith, saying of Buttigieg:

"Now all of a sudden he's become extremely religious, this happened about two weeks ago."

Buttigieg responded initially on Twitter to just the President's claims about Republicans who support Trump holding sole dominion over God, Christ and Christianity.

Mayor Pete stated simply:

"God does not belong to a political party."

The Democratic presidential candidate when asked previously about Trump's insults expressed genuine concern for a man who engaged in the unsophisticated taunts of primary schoolchildren. Unlike some of his fellow candidates, Buttigieg refrained from lashing out on Twitter in response to the President's bait.

However when pressed to comment on Trump's specific claim that the 37 year-old Democrat was newly Christian just to run for President, Mayor Pete provided a quick quip.

He first stated:

"I'm not sure why the President's taken an interest in my faith journey, but certainly I would be happy to discuss it with him."

He ended saying:

"I'm pretty sure I've been a believer longer than he's been a Republican."

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
