Trump's AI Jesus Post Backlash
The image, which Trump later claimed depicted him as a 'doctor' rather than a religious figure, has united many Christians in opposition to his use of religious iconography.
Bipartisan critics have accused the president of taking the Lord's name in vain to serve his political narrative.
Trump's allies, including JD Vance and Franklin Graham, have defended the post, with Graham dismissing the controversy as 'much ado about nothing.' The incident highlights the ongoing tension between Trump's bellicose rhetoric and his standing with religious voters.
