Not sure about the message in the post, but “Jesus goes to Starbucks” would make a great contemporary Christian song. ---

It might help to know if the friend normally posts pro or anti trump things. If he doesn’t like trump it might be something like “people who like trump ignore things like “pussy grabbing” and say he’s really a good man and didn’t mean anything bad by it. Then they go to church on Sunday and act all religious-y”. And if he likes trump it might mean something like “people who don’t like trump say all kinds of untrue, mean things about him, then they go to church on Sunday and act all religious-y”. And his “clarification” is most unhelpful 🙂 ---

I’d maybe buy that, except neither seems to explain that bit about Starbucks. ---

I’ll give it a shot. Everyday people are saying like knowing what Trump is doing. Then on Sundays they go to that Starbucks with a hispanic barrista named Jesus. Then he tells a fly with a gun to go ahead and shoot him because he doesn’t care. I don’t know if he doesn’t care because it’s only a fly sized gun, or because he thinks the fly will miss, or because he doesn’t care if lives or dies. ---

Sounds to me like he’s commenting on the amazing number of crazy people around him, and/or the amazing number of gullible people around him. ---

I think what he’s trying to say is “people are critical of Trump without really knowing anything about what it’s like to be him. Then they have only the most casual relationship with Jesus and pull the holier-than-thou routine. If you’re one of these hypocrites, buzz off.” ---

Seems completely clear to me. It means “I am a scramble-brained ignoramus unable to type English.” The _meaning_ of any sentence is whatever concepts it gives rise to in the mind(s) of the reader(s) / listener(s). I have no doubt about what concepts it raised in \*my \*mind. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/decipher-this/790165.md?page=1)
