Trump faces backlash over AI image of him as Jesus
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated image on Truth Social depicting himself in a Christ-like healing pose, posted roughly 40 minutes after his public tirade against Pope Leo XIV.
- Trump's posts followed his critique of Pope Leo, whom he labeled 'WEAK on Crime' and 'terrible for Foreign Policy'; internet sleuths identified the image as a modified version first shared months ago by Special Presidential Envoy Nick Adams.
- Conservative Christians and MAGA supporters condemned the image as 'blasphemous,' sparking viral videos of followers burning MAGA hats; critics also noted an edit adding a winged, three-horned figure to the sky.
- Pope Leo reaffirmed his commitment to peace on Monday, declining to debate the president, while religious leaders publicly urged Trump to delete the post and seek forgiveness.
- The White House offered conflicting signals regarding the post's origin, raising concerns about messaging protocols and threatening to complicate the administration's outreach to faith leaders and core political allies.
