It means Jesus is his Lord, not Trump. Too many Trump supporters treat him like the second coming, and worship at his feet. I've had far too many conversations with Trump supporters proving this point, where they think he can do no wrong. Fortunately, this Iran/Israel debacle is opening up the eyes of a lot of the sycophants.
What a strange comment, as it's entirely ignorant of the most basic Biblical knowledge, history itself, and the utterly sycophantic behavior displayed all over the right wing normie sphere about Trump.
The first 3 commandments in the 10 commandments are explicitly about condemning this behavior. If this behavior wasn't common, why did God enumerate 3 rules to forbid it? People put false saviors up on pedestals and worship them, all the time. People worship at the feet of idols, both physical (golden calf, star of Remphan, Baal, Moloch, etc.) and ideological (egalitarianism, equality, LGBTQ, race blindness, feminism, abortion, etc.), that they put these things "before" God, all the time. "Before" doesn't mean hierarchically placing it above God in importance, but "before" as in front of, and since God is everywhere, worshipping these false idols is condemned entirely. And, taking the name of our Lord in vain is to profess to be Christian, while continuing to do unChristian things explicitly forbidden (like idol worship).
This aspect of human behavior has been common for thousands of years. It's still incredibly common today, including among right wing Christians who treat Trump as a holy savior who can do no wrong. Go look at the normie side of right wing politics, like on Patriots.win, Facebook, and the normie corner of Gab. They ALL worship Trump, and if anyone criticizes him in any way, even when he's blatantly and repugnantly wrong, they accuse you of being a shill. This isn't random or rare behavior either. It's incredibly common.

Personally, I've seen more people say this is the case than actually encounter these types of people.
Might just be that you are approaching them the wrong way and setting them into the defensive tribalism mode, because I've never met a Trump person I couldn't reason into admitting fault quite easily. Sans a few old ass folks who are full into schizo "jesuit bukkake" levels.

Have you ventured into the right wing normie sphere, ever? Check out Patriots.win, or Facebook, or the normie sphere of Gab. These people are unashamed sycophants. A lot of it is driven by shills, but not all of it, and many right wing normies swallow that propaganda eagerly.

I very rarely interact with them at all any more. I just read comments from other people and see how they talk and what they believe.

No, I generally go outside and talk to people to their face. Because its a night and day difference in what people will say online for upvotes (or likes or whatever) in their safety chamber and their actual beliefs in conversation when you engage with them.
I'd wager Mr. "if by rock you mean JESUS" doesn't go around doing that in real life, and is just virtue signalling here because it'll make people clap like seals, for an example. And if he does, nobody likes him for being cringe and annoying for shoehorning it in even if they agree with him.
People say things online because the anonymity provides them cover to say what they truly feel. That's why anonymity is precious when society becomes tyrannical and despotic toward rationality and truth. But, it also allows people to express their true feelings, regardless of context or circumstance.
Why was u/Joe_Shmo 's comment cringe? How is it virtue signaling? Why is to make people clap like seals? Do we not seek agreement and community with people who are like us, and espouse the truth to those that need to hear it? Does upvoting people you agree with count as "clapping like seals"? Why does nobody like him? What topic was he shoehorning into the conversation? I looked through his profile. He's not a single issue user, and his criticism of Trump and Palantir is legitimate.
You're the one that seems incredibly biased against that particular user, and it bleeds through in what you wrote. I'm not sure why anyone would disagree with his comment either, except if they were a Trump sycophant. If you're a Christian and view Trump with even a shred of critical thought, you should agree with him. Trump isn't perfect, and he's made tons of mistakes, and is in the midst of numerous mistakes. And I remember being in a debate with you previously about the release of the Epstein files (or lack thereof), and how it shines an incredibly negative light on Trump, and you actively defended him. You're not exactly unbiased here.

Oh yeah supporting a politician is the same thing as worshipping Jesus.
This is what we call projection.
For many it is. I like trump jist fine but anyone blindly following him and defending his stupid ass shit is treating him like a deity and not a man.

Something doesn't compute here.
