Donald Trump Shares Picture That Appears To Depict Him As Jesus Christ
According to CNBC, on the evening of Sunday, April 12, President Trump took to Truth Social and shared a photo that appeared to depict him as Jesus Christ. Furthermore, per the outlet, the image appears to have been created using artificial intelligence. Additionally, it appeared that Trump shared the photo after Pope Leo XIV reportedly criticized the U.S. for its “war against Iran and for military action against Venezuela.”
He Speaks Out As Social Media Goes OFF
Furthermore, on Monday, April 13, Trump deleted the photo amid it sparking backlash. Additionally, during a press conference, he spoke on why he shared the photo and denied any intention to compare himself to Jesus Christ.
“I did post it. I thought it was me as a doctor, and it had to do with the Red Cross,” Trump reportedly said. “… It was supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better.”
Per the outlet, former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to X to assert that Trump published the photo “to attack the Pope.”
“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,” she wrote.
Additionally, the reactions continued in TSR’s comment section.
Instagram user @cbellamy2 wrote, “We haven’t had a DAY of normalcy since this man took office ”
Mad times 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️”
While Instagram user @unemployed.donny added, “Same guy who refused to put his hand on the bible btw”

In response, Owens clapped back, calling Trump “grandpa,” in part.
