It's so absurd I had to confirm it.
Even if they believed what they said later every one of them knew what it looked like.
Every one of them knew they were praying before a golden idol in the form of a mortal they consider to be the Second Coming.

Along with the truth, we've seen an end to shame in the Trump era.

... they hire some immigrant to do it for them,..

.... Then quickly deport them - to save face - that they could be so incredibly incompetent as to handle the task themselves. Without getting shit all over their fingers, their palms, the walls, the toilet seat, the cover, the chrome flush handle, the porcelain hopper, and the wall to wall carpet out in the hall and into the next room. Like a poop party took place.

It is no wonder they all wear adult diapers. But at least the smell of shit is then localized - instead of smeared about all of creation.

There are people out there who will believe and worship virtually anything. In this case, a gold spray painted, fully loaded Depends that's somehow going to save them from brown people and make hating OK again. To this day I cannot wrap my head around the attraction. Getting back at the smarty pants elites? Well, it only confirms what those elites thought of them to start with.

Daniel 3:1-7

King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up. So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.

Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “Nations and peoples of every language, this is what you are commanded to do: As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.”

Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
