WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump is facing backlash, including from some conservative allies, after sharing an AI-generated image portraying himself as Jesus Christ.
The image, posted on Truth Social, depicts Trump in religious attire appearing to heal a sick man while surrounded by patriotic symbols. The post quickly drew criticism online, with some supporters calling it inappropriate or blasphemous.
Conservative figures, including activist Riley Gaines and commentator Michael Knowles, publicly questioned the decision, with some urging the image be removed. Others, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, also criticized the post, linking it to broader concerns about Trump’s recent rhetoric on religion and foreign policy.
The controversy follows Trump’s recent attacks on Pope Leo XIV over the Iran conflict, further intensifying tensions between the president and religious leaders.
The episode highlights divisions within Trump’s political base as debates continue over the use of AI-generated imagery in political messaging and the role of religion in public discourse.
