Trump Thanked the 'Great American Patriots' Behind His Golden Statue. They're Crypto Investors Selling a Meme Coin
Called $PATRIOTOn Wednesday at Trump National Doral in Miami, a circle of evangelical clergy bowed their heads at the base of a 22-foot golden statue of President Donald Trump. They prayed over it. They blessed it. Pastor Mark Burns, the president's informal spiritual adviser, held his phone to the microphone so Trump could call in and thank everyone personally.
Then Burns took to X and said something no one had asked him to clarify.
"Let me be clear," he wrote. "This is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone."
Nobody had called it a golden calf. Not yet.

Jesus was a Middle Easterner not a morbidly obese orange tinted guy.
