Strikes me as more Leto than Jesus, which for this group, seems more on brand.

Loomer already beat her:

This should be another origin scenario for Cyberpunk 2077.

I always wanted a space like that to make a sweet pad for my dog, with a fire-hydrant lamp, photos on the wall of his dog friends and comfy bed, small corner fireplace etc...

You mean "bell-end"?

Was anyone ever able to see it as both like one of those perspective illusions? I can only see it as white and gold.

This isn't anything new or specific to Trump. He can veto this like any other measure and the veto can be overriden With a 2/3 majority vote in Congress. That's how it's always worked.
