I’ll let @steve answer for himself but I don’t think you understand the riddle. Trump is like figurative poetry. You don’t read the words for the words. You look for the imagery behind the words. If anything, Trump is like the Song of Solomon.Sounds like you believe that Trump genuinely believed that he was posting himself as a doctor or red cross worker.
Trump gave his meaning not by saying he represented a doctor. The tell came after that. He said “I help a lot of people…”. That’s why I think it was a veiled dig at the pontiff. The seat of Rome claims magnificent powers of infallibility and mediation, yet he’s stuck in the Vatican making proclamations. Trump is doing. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I think you’re under thinking it. Don’t let your disgust overwhelm or impair your vision.
