Trump's Mar-a-Lago was the site of a fundraiser that has sparked major controversy and calls of heathen idolatry. A group was set to auction off a man-made goat laden in gold with artwork depicting $100 bills with President Trump's face instead of Benjamin Franklin and the words "In Trump We Trust" instead of "In God We Trust". These has sparked significant backlash from traditional and Evangelical Christians who compare this to the idolatry and the Golden Calf in Exodus 32, where 3,000 people were destroyed by God in his wrath for their idolatry and betrayal of God's grace.
Goats are widely used in the Bible as a heathen image of lack of humility. Jesus was quoted as saying he would call his sheep home and cast off the goats as unGodly. Because sheep follow their Shepherd and do good goats are unruly and selfish. Trump has long been accused of an over-inflated ego and love of idolatry and outward appearances versus Godliness, humility and humanity.
This cloud miracle appeared mid-February. The goat was set to be auctioned off last week on February 27th.

The Scripture of the Parable of the Sheep and Goats from Jesus is in Matthew 25:31-46 and it reads as follows.
The Sheep and the Goats
Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
