Donald Trump shares AI-generated imagery amid controversy with Pope Leo

U.S. President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated image on Truth Social depicting him being embraced by Jesus, accompanied by the caption, 'The crazy radical left might not like this, but I think it is very nice.' This follows a separate incident where Trump deleted an earlier AI-generated post that portrayed him as a healer resembling Jesus, which sparked widespread backlash and accusations of blasphemy from both political opponents and religious figures. During this same period, Trump engaged in a public dispute with Pope Leo regarding the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military involvement in Iran. Trump criticized the Pope as being weak on crime and poor in foreign policy, accusing him of catering to the radical left. In response, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni described Trump's remarks about the Pope as unacceptable. Pope Leo, while responding to the criticism, maintained his stance against the war and advocated for peace, stating he does not consider himself a politician.
