Trump wishes the Virgin Mary a happy birthday, and the left has a cow

By Monica Showalter

Leftists are in a tizzy over this post from President Trump:

According to Legal Insurrection:

In the Catholic calendar, September 8 is the Nativity of Mary, the day we celebrate the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven.

It’s an important day! We honor the Blessed Virgin because without her “yes,” we wouldn’t have Jesus.

Well, Donald Trump decided to wish Our Blessed Mother a happy birthday!

Well, those who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome lost their minds. They also don’t know anything about Catholicism, which isn’t rare, unfortunately.

Ana Navarro-Cárdenas thinks virgins cannot have birthdays. I honestly don’t know the point of this tweet, but TDS people aren’t normal.

 

Some even made themselves look downright stupid, given that the Virgin Mary and Our Lady of Guadalupe are the same:

Others claimed pandering, particularly to Latinos since he used the sacred image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of all the Americas. including our part of the Americas.

Faithful Catholics, on the other hand, were pretty delighted and pleasantly surprised that Trump would want to honor a feast day important to them. That Trump even did it makes one think he really did want to honor Our Lady. We know he's surrounded by a lot of Catholics, starting with his wife Melania:

 

 

 

A perfectly reasonable take is here:

Whatever it was, we Catholics liked it. Sharing that moment with President Trump just underlined that he's one of us. We don't expect any copying of this from the Kamala Kamp, for obvious reasons.
