Trump Deletes AI Jesus Image After Allies Erupt Over Blasphemy Claims
Donald Trump is facing backlash after posting an AI-generated image portraying himself as a Jesus-like figure—just hours after attacking Pope Leo XIV.
According to multiple outlets, the image showed Trump in robes appearing to heal a man, surrounded by patriotic symbols.
The timing fueled immediate controversy. Trump had just called the pope “weak on crime” and criticized his stance on foreign policy, escalating tensions tied to the Iran war.
But the reaction didn’t just come from political opponents. According to The Guardian and others, several conservative commentators and Christian voices also condemned the post, calling it disrespectful or blasphemous.
