President Donald Trump has spoken out after he shared a picture on Truth Social that appeared 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.”
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 Trumps 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 havent 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”
Before Donald Trump shared the picture that appeared to depict him as Jesus Christ, he made headlines by way of Candace Owens. As The Shade Room previously reported, Owens had been public about disagreeing with the U.S. war against Iran. In turn, Trump reportedly called her and other individuals out, saying that they have “low IQs.”
In response, Owens clapped back, calling Trump “grandpa,” in part.
