Good morning.
So, what now? Donald Trump has posted an image of himself portrayed as Christ draped in divine robes, surrounded by heavenly light, healing the sick with a sacred touch, perhaps even raising the dead.
So tell me, Mr. President will there be a sharp call to your “friend” in defense of the faith? Will there be criticism for betraying core values? A firm reminder of boundaries?
Or should we expect to see similar images appearing closer to home?
This is not the first time Trump has compared himself to God. It is either an expression of extreme ignorance, a calculated attempt to manipulate media attention in the face of failure, or something far more troubling. In any case, it raises serious concerns serious enough, one might argue, to warrant invoking the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The signs that Trump is deeply unfit have been visible for a long time. Allowing Poland to become dependent on such a figure, following his cues, is not just naive it is harmful to the nation. And this is exactly what Karol Nawrocki is doing.
Polished words about “differences” with the U.S. president or dismissing this behavior as some quirky charm are not enough. Pretending to be Christ is not a harmless eccentricity. It demands a response. It demands independence and strength beyond Trump. Anyone who fails to understand this is doing damage.
Hungarians are celebrating after freeing themselves from Viktor Orbán. That joy resonates with us, because it may signal the beginning of the end of something that has weighed on us as well the decline of a certain right-wing international alignment.
At the latest, in four years, we may be celebrating our own moment of release from Nawrocki. Or perhaps sooner if there is a change of heart.
Sleep well, and see you tomorrow. ❤️
