Does a social media post by Donald Trump call Jesus "WEAK on those who sin, and terrible for Immigration"? No, that's not true: The post never appeared on the president's official Truth Social account. It was first suggested as a possible future Trump post in a Substack newsletter by a comedian, who said he was "looking forward to him posting this soon" after the president called Pope Leo "WEAK on crime" in another post in April 2026.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) by the Sharif Ceasar account on Facebook on April 15, 2026. It read:
wow he's really going for it

Although others online shared the fake post on social media without sharing its origins, comedian Matt Ruby made it clear in his Substack newsletter (archived here) on April 13, 2026, that it was just something he was expecting, not something Trump actually said:
Looking forward to him posting this soon:
'Jesus is WEAK on those who sin, and terrible for Immigration. He talks about "mercy," but doesn't mention the value of Vengeance. I don't want a messiah who criticizes RICH people while claiming the MEEK shall inherit the earth. Jesus should get his act together as son of god, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and stop healing all those lepers who are total LOSERS.'
Ruby repeated his expectations in a post (archived here) on his @mattruby account on X, also on April 13, 2026. It said:
Coming soon: Jesus is WEAK on those who sin, and terrible for Immigration. He talks about 'mercy,' but doesn't mention the value of Vengeance. I don't want a messiah who criticizes RICH people while claiming the MEEK shall inherit the earth. Jesus should get his act together.

Ruby's post followed a public spat between the president and Pope Leo XIV. They are at odds over the war involving Iran. Trump criticized the pope in a Truth Social post (archived here), calling him "very liberal" and saying he was doing a poor job, while defending his own policies.
Another version of the fake post (archived here) then appeared a few days later on his mattrubycomedy account on Threads on April 15, 2026. That is where the fake Trump Truth Social post first appeared, but it was clearly labeled as comedy and not intended to be taken seriously:

Others then began sharing it without the comedy disclaimer, giving the impression that the post was real -- a common pattern with fake Trump posts, which often go viral.
Lead Stories searched Google News (archived here) and Yahoo! News (archived here) and did not find any matching reports for "Donald Trump post calling Jesus weak." Had the president actually made such a post, it would have been widely reported by major news outlets.
