On hearing that President Donald Trump was compared to Jesus Christ at a White House Easter luncheon, a New York priest beloved by everybody from firefighters to refugees, from construction workers to the homeless, had much the same reaction as any true Christian.“Donald Trump is no more Jesus Christ than I am an astronaut on Pluto,” Father Brian Jordan said from Midtown Manhattan, where he serves as pastor of The Church of St. Francis of Assisi.Jordan also voiced his opinion on the people who stood with Trump in the East Room on Wednesday, nodding in assent as televangelist Paula White-Cain, the head of the White House Department of Faith and the president’s so-called “spiritual adviser,” made the sacrilegious comparison.
