President Donald Trump recently shared an AI-generated image of Jesus embracing him, following backlash from a previous post that depicted him as a Christ-like figure.
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday shared an AI-generated image depicting Jesus embracing him, just days after facing backlash over a similar post portraying himself as a Christ-like figure. The image, originally posted on X by a supporter, was reshared by Trump on his Truth Social platform. Captioning the post, he wrote, “The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!!”
The latest post comes shortly after criticism over another AI-generated image shared by Trump on Sunday, which depicted him in flowing robes appearing to heal a sick man, with beams of light emanating from his hands.
The image also featured patriotic symbols such as the US flag, the Statue of Liberty and eagles, amplifying its visual messaging.
Backlash From Across The Spectrum
The earlier post drew sharp reactions, with some conservative Christian voices accusing Trump of blasphemy, while liberal critics called the imagery “egomaniacal.”
By Monday morning, the image had been removed from his Truth Social feed.
Responding to the controversy, Trump defended his post, saying it was intended to portray him as a doctor healing people. “I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor… it’s supposed to be me making people better. And I do make people better. A lot better,” he said. He dismissed the backlash as “fake news,” even as criticism continued from multiple quarters.
The controversial post followed an aggressive rant by Trump against the American-born pontiff, who has openly criticised US foreign policy decisions, including military actions tied to Iran and immigration enforcement.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump labelled the pope leo “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.”
“I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said, while also defending US actions in Venezuela and accusing the country of exporting crime into the United States.
