Presidential Message on Pentecost, 2025

The White House
June 8, 2025

1. No kidding! I'll see your "What?"

and raise you a “TF”!

[sop]

2. Many Christians observe Pentecost, it's celebrated primarily by Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations.

Speaking in tongues (glossolalia) is seen as "the manifestation of the Holy Spririt's presence and power." I'm surprised Trump didn't also mention snake handling in this Presidential Message.

4. It's also a major feasr day dor Episcopalians

[sop]

5. Whitsunday

[deRien]

8. In the Netherlands

and Germany everything except coffee shops and pubs are closed on Sunday AND Monday for Pentecost!

[allegorical oracle]

15. In my area of FL there are many of those churches. They snake handle (some die) and the

women never cut their hair and only wear skirts that cover their ankles. Will say that I see fewer of them now than when we first moved here 40 years ago.

[The Madcap]

3. Not a chance he wrote this.

It's actually in English.

[Morbius]

7. In fairness

No President would ever have written something like this. Every administration has staff for this kind of thing.

[Ms. Toad]

16. And it doesn't trash his enemies. n/t

6. Clearly mango had nothing to do with it...

It actually showed some knowledge of scripture (not 2 Corinthians), no all caps rants, or misspellings.

We'll ignore Muslim bans...cause you know they don't get to worship God.

Or the no establishment clause of the Constitution...
Or that Pentecost is the Greek translation of a Jewish festival that brought many to Jerusalem because as many of his followers would shot "Jews will not replace us" ...

Not sure what hypocrites in the press release department wrote this. But they should be ashamed of themselves

9. Somehow this doesn't sound exactly like DJT....... nt

10. Having grown up Catholic and converting to Judaism

I am struck by the Pentecost being 50 days after Easter, which is close timing to Shavuot coming after 49 days of counting the omer starting at the beginning of Passover. Shavuot commemorates receiving the Torah.

In my memory, the celebration of the Pentecost was bot one of the more major Catholic holidays.

13. I don't remember it being a major day in the church, either.

I think priest did put on a different colored chausuble and stole for the day, and the mass was a little longer, but there were saints days that seemed to be considered more important, especially if they had to do with mary.

[obamanut2012]

19. It is a major feast day for Episcopalians and Anglians, both of which are also catholic churches

And a feast day for the Roman Catholic Church.

[allegorical oracle]

11. Cripes... will wager that Mikey Johnson wrote this for the bumbling Dummo.

[mwmisses4289]

14. Or his pet evilgelical- ms what's her name bottle blond.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Wouldn't it be fun for some reporter to ask TSF to define Pentecost?

[sop]

18. Reporter: "Mr. President, Sir, can you tell us what Pentecost means?"

Trump: "Everyone knows what it means...a Trillion dollars...that's how much it costs to run the Pentagon."

[Hekate]

17. Never in my life do I recall a US president sending out a message for Pentecost. Why now?

Who wrote it?
