SPARKS BRIEF: Doctor Christ Is In The House


 

Washington, D.C. – On April 13, Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus, immediately sparking outrage and controversy. He quickly deleted it from Truth Social, but later acknowledged the photo, telling reporters he thought the outfit made him look like a doctor. 

The image shows Trump in flowing white robes, with an orb of light in one hand while the other rests on the forehead of a man resembling an ailing Jeffrey Epstein. Critics questioned the theological implications and his ongoing feud with the pope, while supporters wondered whether the robe came in red, white, and blue. 

Hours later, Trump posted a statement on Truth Social:

“People are saying, 'Jesus.' Wrong! Total fake news. I’m a doctor. A great doctor. Possibly the greatest doctor the world has seen. I’m hearing Dr. Christ. I don’t know, but they’re saying it.” 

Several hours later, television producer Mark Burnett, creator of The Apprentice—Trump’s first sitcom about a savvy businessman—expressed interest in greenlighting a new primetime drama: Calling Dr. Christ.

MAGA media influencer and screenwriter Hugh Idiot has already drafted a pilot episode. “We’ll be historic,” Idiot said. “This is the first time a sitting president will star in his own television series.” 

“Donald is a natural-born actor,” Burnett said. “He convinced millions of Americans he was a successful businessman in The Apprentice and delivered an Oscar-worthy supporting performance in Home Alone 2.” 

“The primetime medical/spiritual drama Calling Dr. Christ will premiere in January of 2027, depending on midterm election results,” said Idiot. 

Set in Mount Sinai Hospital, the drama follows Dr. Don Christ, who claims he heals through miracle work, medical advice from RFK Jr., and a steady stream of patients investing in cryptocurrency.

In the pilot, Donald is greeted by hospital staff with the show’s catchphrase, “Oh Christ, he’s here.” Dr. Christ informs his first patient, played by Rudy Giuliani, that he suffers from chronic hair-dye poisoning. The prescribed treatment: “Don’t take Tylenol and keep a raccoon penis in your pocket.” 

Physician assistant Melania Magdalene accompanies Dr. Christ on his rounds, handing out Botox coupons and reminding patients to “Be Best.” In the episode’s most dramatic moment, Dr. Christ cures a blind man by turning water into Diet Coke and reduces a foreign billionaire's inflamed wallet through generous donations for the new Donald J. Christ Savior of Mount Sinai & Cankles Research Wing. 

According to Idiot, future episodes will feature Trump family members: Don Jr. enters rehab through divine intervention; Eric is admitted to pediatrics to learn to put on his own potty-training pants, and Ivanka develops a spine. 

When asked if Tiffany will appear, Trump replied, “Who?” 

Dr. Christ will also perform an exorcism on a CNN anchor, prescribe estrogen patches for George Santos, and surgically remove a bubble wand from Senator Lindsey Graham. 

Trump elaborated on the character, which he claims will anchor the highest-rated medical drama in broadcast history:

“Dr. Christ is a healer, okay? But also a businessman. Very important. He heals people with his glowing presence, but he also closes big deals. Biblical deals. Frankly, the best deals the Bible’s ever seen.” 

When asked if the character was a religious figure or a medical professional, Trump responded:

“The absolute best of both, quite frankly. Jesus didn’t have a medical degree, but if he did, I bet it would have been from a very good school. Maybe Trump University. Ever heard of it?”

Whether Calling Dr. Christ becomes a cultural phenomenon or a late-night punchline remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: in an era where reality and satire share the same waiting room, Dr. Christ has already written himself a prescription for attention—and it comes with unlimited refills. 

As Trump puts it:

“People said it couldn’t be done. A doctor, a savior, a TV star. But I alone did it. I’ll have a medical series 600% more popular than that second-rate Grey’s Anatomy. Weak show. Bad liberal actors. I’ll be doing incredible things—like selling ‘Make Miracles Great Again’ golden stethoscopes and a healing coin that may or may not cure anything but will definitely look spiritually patriotic.”

“We haven't filmed the pilot yet, but people are saying I deserve an Emmy. So, tune in and watch me perform miracles—and concepts of miracles. They’ll be the biggest miracles in the history of miracles, or my name isn’t Dr. Christ.”

Waking Up in Vegas - Happy 2014!

Neither, Gary or I, are really gamblers, so we try to find other activities to occupy our time when visiting Vegas. We have visited Red Rock, Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire State Park on previous visits. We had even traveled as far as Zion National Park in Utah, during an earlier stay. There are definitely natural beauties to discover while in Nevada, and they have nothing to do with showgirls or stripper poles. This visit was about relaxation and ringing in the New Year, so we didn’t need to stray far from Vegas this time. We bought tickets for a concert featuring Kristin Chenoweth. She is a very talented singer and actress best known from Broadway shows, movies, and multiple guest appearances on GLEE. The concert was on New Year’s Eve at the newly built Smith Center. Although she is about three feet tall, Kristin has a powerhouse voice. She sang songs from her career and, of course, sang one of my favorites “For Good” from WICKED. It was a great way to ...

Mental Health - Destroy the Stigma

I believe that I am a fearless writer. I share my personal experiences, thoughts and beliefs. I’ve not been afraid to express my emotions. Self-expression is fundamental to writing. I am a man of my words Recently, I became concerned that my blogs about depression and mental health might shape my reader’s opinions of me in a negative way.   The more I thought about it, I realized that I had internalized the stigma that surrounds mental health. Stigma is defined as “a mark of disgrace or infamy.” The word bears a negative connotation and it devalues the person to whom the stigma is applied. While the conversation about mental health is receiving a larger forum, damaging misconceptions are widespread. According to surveys, there are between 42.5-46 million adults in the US that have some type of mental illness.   Statistics show that one in four adults experience mental illness in a given year. These numbers of individuals are all impacted in some manner b...

Summer Adventures Part 2 – The Backyard Backlot to Broadway

  My childhood summers weren’t all the glitz and glamor of vacationing with cousins, wobbly shopping carts and bloody feet. Actually, most of my summer days were spent right at home in my yard. My parents never took a vacation. Our family never packed its bags and took off for other ports of call.   I never boarded a plane, a boat, or a train for a family adventure. My adventures were self-created. They were products of an imaginative mind that could travel to the moon, ride the rapids in the Amazon Jungle and lead a battle for the Knights of the Round Table, all before a lunch of Spaghettios with a side of Hawaiian Punch . I have always loved going to the movies. This helped provide the inspiration to my over active mind. The Saturday afternoon matinee was a childhood staple for me. The smell of fresh popcorn as you entered the lobby and the crisp cold air of the air-conditioned theater helped set the atmosphere on those hot, summer afternoons. I would get lost in the d...

Depression, Drugs & DNA

When diagnosed with Clinical Depression, my doctor recommended medication to help the illness. The art of medication management can challenge professionals who need to find the right drug and dosage that will be effective for treatment. It’s frustrating for patients combating the effects of depression when their medication doesn’t quite alleviate the symptoms. Part of this cocktail of drugs can also cause intolerable side effects ·       Sleepiness ·       Insomnia ·       Dizziness ·       Weight Gain ·       Headaches ·       Increased Anxiety ·       Sexual Problems ·       Nausea The feeling of hopelessness and frustration is just compounded when you’re waiting for relief that never really arrives. There are so many drugs available...

Communication - The Art of Words

I read a posting, a few weeks ago, that the song “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode was celebrating its 25 th anniversary. The song, released in 1990, speaks of how you can be beyond words. It relays the message that there are times when words can’t describe feelings or emotions and seem inconsequential. I do understand when people say that something is “indescribable.” We all have moments when we just want silence and time to appreciate the world beyond words.   A feeling or an emotion can be hard to verbalize at times, but are we ever beyond words? We have to realize that if we want a space of non-communication we have to communicate that. We can’t “Enjoy the Silence” unless we can tell everyone we want silence.   For people to know we are at a loss for words, we have to tell them that. Everything we say and do lies in communication. We could not function as a community or a society without it. We don’t stop to contemplate that our whole world is cr...
