UPDATE, 1:28 PM EDT: Trump was asked about the post by a reporter. He responded, “I thought it was me as a doctor that had to do with the Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. And only the fake news could come up with that one (Trump as Jesus). … It was supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better.”


UPDATE, 11:50 AM EDT: Trump has deleted the post.

(LifeSiteNews) — U.S. President Donald Trump has posted a portrait of himself as Jesus Christ on his Truth Social account.

The AI-generated image, which appeared on the night of April 12, Divine Mercy Sunday in the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar, shows him in white and red flowing robes, placing his hand on a patient in a hospital bed, apparently to heal him. Radiant light emanates from his palms as a praying woman, a soldier, a nurse, and an elderly bearded man reverently look on. The Statue of Liberty, the Lincoln Memorial and a large American flag loom in the background. Eagles hovering in the sky flank Trump as fighter jets and either angelic or demonic soldiers fly above him.

The image was posted within an hour of Trump’s scathing attack on Pope Leo in another social media post.

The AI image drew widespread criticism and mockery from Catholics and other users across social media. Marjorie Taylor Greene stated on X, “On Orthodox Easter, President Trump attacked the Pope because the Pope is rightly against Trump’s war in Iran and then he posted this picture of himself as if he is replacing Jesus. This comes after last week’s post of his evil tirade on Easter and then threatening to kill an entire civilization. I completely denounce this and I’m praying against it!!!” She added, “It’s more than blasphemy. It’s an Antichrist spirit.”
