On Thursday Donald Trump issued another controversial and confusing tweet. Believing Madonna Louise Ciccone, famous for her 1984 hit “Material Girl,” to be the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, Trump tweeted “@madonna. Sorry to hear about your boy Jesus. But in all fairness, he knew what he signed up for.”
The next day, the president attempted to clarify his comments, in a brief press conference. “Even though I prefer prophets who don’t get crucified,” he began, “I pledge to donate $25,000 out of my own pocket to pay for a new gravestone for Jesus. I mean, the old one was just a rock, am I right?”
