Trump's AI Jesus posts spark backlash

Trump's AI Jesus posts spark backlash

The controversial imagery, which included a picture of Jesus embracing the president, was shared on Trump's Truth Social platform.

While the president claimed the images were meant to represent him as a 'doctor' or a 'healer,' many religious experts have labeled the posts as 'textbook blasphemy.' The backlash was particularly strong among young Catholics at the University of Notre Dame, who cited the posts as a reason for their growing disillusionment with the president.

Despite the outcry, Trump has doubled down on the imagery, using it to target what he calls 'radical left lunatics.'
