Actor John Cusack Compares Donald Trump to the Killers of Jesus Christ in Easter MessageWarner Todd Huston 21 Apr 2025
For his Easter Day message to fans, extreme leftist actor John Cusack insisted that the historical figures who killed Jesus were the “Trumps of the day.”
Cusack jumped to his X account on Sunday to write: “Happy Easter – Christ was tortured and executed as a Political calculation by the Trumps of the Day… Happy Easter.”

Jesus was not crucified merely for “politics.” The Jewish leaders who conspired to eliminate Jesus were incensed that he had called himself the Son of God and, therefore, a divine figure. They felt he was engaging in blasphemy. And the Romans prosecuted him for claiming to be “King of the Jews.” That was a crime in their eyes because only Caesar could be king. The question of Christ’s divinity was not as incidental as Cusack wants to make it seem.
Certainly, Jesus also threatened the political power of the Jewish leaders. But the Romans were somewhat indifferent and did not feel he was all that much of a political threat to them. So, obviously there was a political aspect to the whole thing, but to say it was all just a “political calculation” is an oversimplification. There was also deep religious context to it all.
