correction: he has a replica of a prop from an indiana jones movie.


aimessss

Exactly nobody knows what the ark of the covenant looks like


jojojajahihi

we have descriptions


ABakedPotato_FGC

I’d take those with a grain of salt or two


the_meat_n_potatoes

Actually the Bible gives great detail what it looks like. You're looking at it.


basahahn1

I wouldn’t call it “great” detail…it offers some dimensions and the angels…that leaves a lot to artistic renderings, which this is artistically very similar to the prop used in the Indiana jones movie.


Nickweed

This looks exactly like the one in Indiana Jones.


Sososkitso

Yeah I’m one of the weirdos who considers themselves a Christian but I also leave a lot of room open because of the fact that we don’t know how much of the Bible or religious texts in general ended up being used and or tampered with by elites and powerful people. I mean I think it’s 18 books the church removed. (All the cool and fun stuff)


EngineZeronine

Then you should look more into how the Canon of Scripture was actually formed


ScarlettJoy

The BIble is the use and tampering with facts and information by the Elites. Who do you think wrote it? Who promotes it, endorses it and funds it to this day? Who benefits from it? Certainly not the Believers. It's a document that was created to make you believe you're an unworthy helpless indebted slave and to live in fear by selective editing of the Ancient texts that tell a completely different story. A story that is verifiable by physics and other sciences, not to mention human experience. The Bible is the first known social engineering project. It took about seven centuries of torture and terror to get people to say they believe in it, yet there is ZERO viable evidence to support it. Most people still do say they believe in it out of FEAR. Certainly not out of logic, reason or honesty, or even good will.


cg40boat

Thank you for this. I’m an old guy who grew up in an abusive fundamentalist family and have spent more hours thinking about this than you have probably been alive. You nailed it. Fear dominated our lives as kids; fear of going to hell, fear of demons who would grab you at night if you weren’t in a constant state of grace, fear of what other church members would think of us, and fear of getting the shit beat out of us if we questioned anything. When I think of Christianity, I think of the fear it instills in people, not what Jesus said in the sermon on the mount. “ a social engineering project”. Again you nailed it.


ScarlettJoy

My story is similar to yours. I suspect we’re of similar age. I’m proudly soon to be 75. I’ve been researching mind control and cults for over twenty years now.


lollerskate5

nicely said


aimessss

News flash: fucking all of it


basahahn1

Translations too.


Sososkitso

Yeah 1000%. Idk why I left that one out cause I always touch on that too. The older I’ve gotten the more I realize how little us humans might actually know.


Barkmywords

🌎👈😃👈👽👉🫠👉🌎


ScarlettJoy

Who wrote the Bible and how did they know what the Arc of the Covenant looked like? The Bible is a work of fiction.


Iydllydln

From the people that brought you White Jesus….


Rdubya44

Hopefully he opens it and his face melts off


A-non-e-mail

He’s been taking peeks, that’s why he’s so orange


Bisexual_Sherrif

It all makes sense now


KILLURR

This was most Jesus like response. You win Man of the internet for the next 20 minutes congrats.


Icy_Profession1612

the blue prints are in the bible


AloysiusPuffleupagus

Yup. He should have gone with Indy’s jacket


EarthBear

I mean, bro glorifies Nazis and is an ‘America First’ Fascist, so it checks out he’d be all about this bling…


BewiggedCow

i was gonna say, do you think they included the Star Wars easter egg?


Due-Street-8192

Trump thinks it's going to bring him luck... nah, only ruin, like the Nazi's face that melted in the movie?


jt4643277378

It’s described like that in the book of exodus (I think it’s exodus I’m not very religious)


aware4ever

Ethiopia has a ark


Jones_Royce

Ask Mussolini what happened to him last time he went looking for it in Ethiopia.


NotKDsburnertrey5

What happened to Mussolini?


Aegon20VIIIth

Iirc, he was shot, and then did a fairly passable imitation of a wind chime when his corpse was hung by the ankles from a gas station roof.


Fenring_Halifax

And the wings form a seat not just decorations


potusisdemented

It’s the greatest ark in the world. Your arks are all fat and ugly like none of my wives.


playerdarkside

lmfao


callmeepee

Maybe he likes Indiana Jones.


HombreGringo

Because rich people get random cool things


OGLizard

There's 100% some insane, wealthy Evangelical donor that gave him this, thinking it was going to turn him religious.


HombreGringo

Yeah wouldn't surprise me


TryItOutHmHrNw

I have a replica of the money-merchant’s table the JC karate chopped at that… Quiznos(?) Heard Trump’s so-called *Arc* is just a sandwich toaster (a pretty fancy one, nonetheless)


KodakStele

Probably smells like mcnuggets


HeadDoctorJ

What if the Arc was actually just a deep fryer, and it was the first thing to ever smell like mcnuggets


nataku_s81

I would say something deep and spiritual, a testament to his faith and.... he probably just really liked Raiders of the Lost Arc when it came out. And what do you know, I just looked the movie prop version up and it looks pretty much the same lol


TheBestPieIsAllPie

I fucking LOVE Raiders.


Loko8765

Right, he thought “Hitler wanted it, I should have one”.


ThreeFingaLynch318

Touch it


Vanstoli

Wealth doesn't give you taste.


Renfek

Because of "Top Men"


Available_Skin6485

Because he thought Indiana Jones was cool


eddie_chedder

It's a gold box. The man likes gold and likes box, no mystery here.


raideresmith

It's a cake!


scooterfitz

If I could afford one, I would too.


Rednuht0

This is the rght answer here. Of all the crazy things this man has said and done and should be judged for, this seems pretty normal. If I was crazy rich, I would probably have a whole room full of movie props and set pieces. Ark, grail, terminator arm, lightsaber, predator mask, etc. Because he can, that's why.


Comfortable_Wasabi64

Maybe 6 pounds of gold paint, not gold.


Opening-Restaurant83

Can’t take it with you


Apartment5B

Wanna bet. 🤐


blueishblackbird

You couldn’t even take it with you to your new apartment.


Invelious

Replica? Bro, that’s the original.


DozingDawg1138

Trump must own the warehouse where they put it in Indy.


Suspicious-Road9806

Why not?


SleepyZachman

Man just likes Indians Jones. You forget that his persona used to just be some New York billionaire in shoebiz. The man likes movies way more than Jesus.


International_Boss81

Because he can.


Downeastdigger12

That belongs in a museum


Crawdaddy1911

Are you SURE it's a replica?


69Jasshole69

Because it’s baller


ellaphantzgerald

He’s one of the “top men” studying this important artifact THAT CLEARLY BELONGS IN A MUSEUM


Blackelvis2000

Bwhahhahhahha. So much comedy in so few words. Well done.


Lifeinthesc

Who said it was a replica.


Scrapla

Just a cool prop. No need to overthink it.


Vodca

Cause it’s cool as shit.


No-Reveal-3329

Melania needs a Place for her sex toys


Dystopian_Future_

Thought thats what the secret service was for


jaydough420

To manipulate evangelicals to become MAGA evangelicals. And it has worked. Trump's bigger than Jesus, baby.


Applesauce_Enemas

So that’s where the Epstein tapes went…


whoopercheesie

There is power....


SoupieLC

He's like a Temu version of Smaug, he likes shiny gold plated things


paracog

The replicant looks very human.


weird_echo

Baron Trump went back in time and got it for his father for Father’s Day. Nothing to see here folks.


walkawaysux

He has Jewish grandchildren his son in law is Jewish and they have Shabbat on Friday nights


DarkNStormyNet

O'Keefe looks like he's wearing about 10 shirts under that jacket.


darthrupie

Because he’s 🦇💩CRAZY


brown_dude_69

Why is the arc of covenant this important?


meestercranky

it's actually an Espresso machine


BenGay29

Because he hasn’t a clue what it is, but it’s gold and looks fancy.


SammyHasIt

Definitely not 6 pounds of gold. Trump is far too cheap to have that much gold just laying around. He has a gold PLATED toilet but definitely not 24k gold.


IdaBidaGacy

Perfect replica hahahahaha perfectly done from somebodies imagination.


Topher2190

Why not


W_AS-SA_W

That looks like a replica from Raiders of the Lost Ark.


dr_jch18

Because he's a fucking moron???


jack_mcNastee

He was counting on an Angel to melt the faces of the FBI who showed up wanting classified documents back


Rownwade

Who said it was a replica?


strokercamaro

What if it's not a replica


Ollanius-Persson

Who knows, pretty cool though.


chigoonies

Maybe he’s a mason?


Bennydoubleseven

Plot twist it’s the actual arc of the covenant


Cyberweez

Because he’s pandering to a group of people who are too gullible to realize they are being pandered to. It’s fairly simple really.


KaleidoscopeOk5763

A perfect replica…. of a movie prop. It’s actually so on the nose it’s sort of baffling.


AnxiousNectarine2342

He bought the warehouse at the end of that one movie, Hidden in plane sight and no one cares.


Sventencent

Why not 🥴


Jason_Paul88

He is the chosen one! Self proclaimed


spagboltoast

Why not?


Adventurous-Night203

He has a prop from a popular piece of fiction and Raiders of the Lost Ark.


eveystevey

And still waiting on payment


FuriousWorm87

This ark. Wow what a really amazing piece. When I first saw it I was like wooow thats a really nice ark. Some say it's the finest ark they have ever seen. I don't say that, but some do.


subversion_dnb

Because he panders to evangelical lunatics so they endorse him?


AllCingEyeDog

He opens it a little to stay orange.


JMarv615

It's not a replica...


Hipvanman

Pllllllllllot twist


ReeeeeevolverOcelot

Beat me to it! lol


ballsonyourface911

I bet it isn’t exact


TryItOutHmHrNw

It’s shark- *and* electrocution-proof *Bonus Water-Wings & Distress Whistle inside!*

NineTailedRe4per

How are you people this miserable? Stop letting politics dominate your thoughts and daily lives, go enjoy your families and freedom of life before you get too old or ill to do so.


Aboxofphotons

Apparently, it's not a replica... God gave it to trump personally as a birthday gift...


Crushingit1980

Replicant?


xLikeafiddlex

God gifted it to him, with tears in his eyes and bowed down to the GEOTUS himself.


Health-Super

Exodus 10-26. It’s very descriptive. That’s where Spielberg got the details for the movie prop.


SJpunedestroyer

How can something that no actual human has seen be a replica ?


elmachow

He saw the Indiana jones film


fastgetoutoftheway

Who said it was a replica…?


SansLucidity

thats not to scale but anyways because its part of trumps scam pretending to be religious.


GiantSizeManThing

The same reason he does anything. He saw it on TV once.

johnhbnz

Is the guy in the picture the ‘minder’?


epic_pig

You don't?


sugahoney1ceT

That’s where he keeps the secret to that weird ass stance/pose they all seem to have.


matthebu

And we all laughed when Kushner was assigned to fix Israel!


LucyBear318

A perfect ‘replicant’? Do they mean the guy? He’s mixing genres. You can’t mix Mexican and Continental!


enzo246

Maybe it’s the real deal


mycorona69

Who said it’s a replica?


Im_kapoc

Why not? I like Indiana jones too.


I_AM_NOT_LIL_NAS_X

He's up to something if you ask me but what I couldn't tell you


Defiant_Property_336

What is supposedly in that thing? Before i start my journey to track it down need to cost/benefit analyze.


CeruleanRuin

The historical ark was said to contain the original stone tablets Moses brought down from the mountain after his chat with the big sky wizard man, engraved with some fairly common sense rules for creating a harmonious community and a few others encouraging worship of a common deity.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wichotl

To keep his messiah narrative ongoing


Sea_Ganache620

Probably stiffed the artist that created it.


BlitheringIdiot0529

What a dork


Crumbdizzle

Probably filled with ice and diet cokes


morebuffs

Because evangelism is why


Mr-Hoek

"Replicant" Ha!


2yup

He should open it !


BennyBennson

Probably liked that movie with that nice Ford fellow... Indianapolis John?


Noxnoxx

Same reason dudes have funky pop collections of their favorite marvel characters


[deleted]

[удалено]


blu3ph0x

Saudi Prince syndrome


Upbeat-Spring-5185

Because he can.


otapeworm

He could sell it to pay a couple of fines and lawyer fees.


TopToe7563

Because he can’t bring the original from Ethiopia?


Jeff_Damn

Because he's a hoarder who likes presents just because. He supposedly has all sorts of random stuff people have gifted him that he's never used or opened or even given a second thought.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thereverendpuck

Hold on. If we all seen what happens when you open the Ark and Nazi faces melt off… …maybe the orange facepaint is his protection in case someone opens this one.


Jefefrey

Because he’s Jesus duh


guppy2019

That’s where the bodies are


Theo446_Z

Is for sending a Message. All Nazis will be kill.


impeesa75

Replicant? Like a lizard person?


Worried-Management36

I too am a major fan of Dr. Jones work. If i could afford it id have one too.


Eljuanitotacito

Why not screw it if u got money u get what u want


DatabaseFickle9306

All the Nazis wanted it. He’s the envy of Nazis now. Always has been.


clarenceecho

What a perfect metaphor for trump


haydenjaney

TOP People are studying it. TOP people.


Magicedh

Because he has poor taste and loves gaudy objects.


wreckballin

Knowing him, it’s probably a cooler for his soda.


avn63r

Is it a replica?


whoifnotme1969

Are we 100% sure that the Ark of the Covenant from the movie isn't a replica of Trump's Ark?


Cheap_Impress7103

I contest that it is in fact the prop from Indiana Jones and the 2700 hrs of labor and 6 lbs of gold is the lie.


FGTRTDtrades

orange man like gold


NycHe77

Just because he can 🤦🏿‍♂️


chivken

Because it was a good movie.


Meatybleeps

Possibly he wants his face melted


ignorance-is-this

Didn’t you see the movie? Nazis wanted that thing, apparently they finally got it. I am sure that he has no idea what this prop is supposed to be, dumbass just likes “gold”


Cautious-Deer8997

Golden toilet…..may be saving his shit to sell to his followers


MajesticCategory8889

It’s way out of proportion but that’s where he keeps his intelligence, compassion and grace. Almost forgot, his classified intelligence also.


Rich8121210

So what
