US EditionTrump posts AI-generated photo of himself as the pope
- Donald Trump shared an AI-generated picture on his Truth Social account on a Friday evening, depicting himself in papal attire, during the nine-day official mourning period following the death of Pope Francis on April 21.
- The image surfaced shortly prior to the gathering of cardinals tasked with selecting Pope Francis' successor, a deeply solemn time for Catholics who have been honoring Francis with daily Masses.
- The image provoked backlash on social media, elicited criticism from the organization representing Catholic bishops in New York, and was met with disapproval in Italian and Spanish media outlets.
- Former Italian Premier Matteo Renzi condemned the image as inappropriate, expressing that it neither demonstrates wit nor humor and criticizing it for disrespecting both religious believers and official institutions.
- The controversy highlights sensitivities around the papal transition, and suggests potential damage to Trump’s standing with Catholic leaders amid ongoing conclave preparations.
