From the picture, it looks like it was touch-and-go with me for a while. But thank god, in my time of need, I was surrounded by family.”
Stewart then defined that “not everyone in the Christian community took too kindly” to Trump’s put up. He mentioned the backlash was so dangerous that Trump was “forced to come up with his own incredibly plausible cover story.”

Venezuela stole the 2020 election!’ And now the best you’ve got is, ‘Eh, no, I wasn’t Jesus. I’m a doctor!’ You need to go back and find your happy place and fast.”
