American Christians are still majority Protestant.
So what? Catholics comprise 77 million of US's Christian population.
And? Are you arguing that people should respect the Catholics? @_@
No dumbass. I just stated and proved that Trump's Christian voter base is disgusted with his pic.

And? You didn't prove that it was a significant portion or that it would have any lasting effect.
Are you claiming that all Catholics are universally offended by it? @_@

Why would there be outrage if some fans of Obama depicted him as a saint? Doesn't even compare to posting a pic of yourself as Jesus.

Since Protestants generally view prayer and worship of saints as idolatrous, that would be setting Obama up as a false idol, which is blasphemous.

Those saint candles are for Catholics. And they have a right to practice their own religion as they see fit.
