Summary: Discover the incredible similarities and deep meanings between Jesus Christ's most revered sayings and the words of President Donald J. Trump. Though separated by two millennia, these two men, Donald Trump and Jesus Christ, have brought similar teachings to their contemporaries. Now, for the first time, the sayings of Jesus of Nazareth are compiled side-by-side with the parallel quotes from President Trump. This collection includes remarkable comparisons like: Jesus: "The last will be first, and the first will be last." (Matthew 20:16) Trump: "The forgotten men and women will be forgotten no longer." Inaugural Address, January 20, 2017 Jesus: "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:12) Trump: "We are stronger together." Campaign rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, October 14, 2016 Jesus: "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23) Trump: "I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big." Facebook, November 21, 2016 Contributor Bio(s): James Adams is a patriot and Christian who believes in the soul of America.

The front page of the Chicago Tribune's Arts & Entertainment section from Sunday, February 16, 2025. The headline reads, "Afraid of spiders no more," and the primary photo features a tarantula in a new exhibit at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.
