Trump's Jesus meme backlash

Critics have described the image as 'blasphemous' and 'unhinged,' arguing that it crosses a line even for a politician known for provocative social media use.

Trump reportedly discussed the meme with his housing finance chief Bill Pulte before sharing it with his millions of followers.

While some influential evangelicals have dismissed the controversy as 'much ado about nothing,' others see it as a sign of the president's deteriorating mental state.

The incident has further complicated Trump's relationship with religious voters ahead of the midterm elections.
