New York City is President Donald Trump's hometown, yet "New York's Hometown Newspaper" The Daily News rarely holds back in skewering the president with its front page.

This Thursday was no different.

After Trump quoted a right wing conspiracy peddler referring to Trump as the "King of Israel" and likening Trump to the the "second coming of God," he proclaimed he was "the chosen one" to engage China in a trade war. While Trump boasting is nothing new, the uptick in messianic rhetoric was concerning to many.

The Daily News portrayed what a Last Supper for a Trumpian Jesus would look like—and it's not exactly pretty.

The scene features a tiny-handed Trump in the center of a long table covered with fast food—a nod to his White House dinners for college athletes—as advisors Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, First Lady Melania Trump, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos surround him. A closer look reveals the GOP's elephant emblem on their soda cups.

The picture highlighted just how incongruent Trump's behavior seems to be with teachings of practically every religion, and Twitter users thought that was spot on.

Trump has since doubled down, retweeting and thanking Wayne Allyn Root, the right wing conspiracy theorist who referred to him as the King of Israel, for dismissing the media's reaction to the pair's comments.

What a mess.

Fox News Ripped After Blaming Talarico For Not Trying To Stop MAGA Conspiracy Theory About Him

Talarico returned to the campaign trail after taking nine days off to recover from the flu. During his absence, conservative commentators circulated an unsubstantiated claim that he had experienced a mental health crisis and traveled to the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, for treatment.

Samuel L. Jackson Roasts Red Carpet Reporter To Shreds After She Tries To Do Impression Of Him

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those actors that people just love to impersonate. He's had so many memorable roles with countless quotable lines, and his personality is nothing short of fascinating.

But people who attempt to impersonate him always get some aspect of the impression wrong, whether it's the volume, the enunciation, the intonation, or just the overall demeanor. Even Jamie Foxx, who's an impressive impersonator of a wide range of stars, has not impressed Jackson with his impersonation of him.
