Trump deletes 'Jesus' AI post

Trump deletes 'Jesus' AI post

Following a wave of backlash from religious conservatives, President Trump deleted a controversial social media post featuring an AI-generated depiction of himself in divine robes.

Trump later claimed he thought the image portrayed him as a 'doctor' rather than a religious savior, dismissing the controversy as a fabrication by the news media.

The incident occurred shortly after Trump's public attacks on Pope Leo XIV, further straining his relationship with religious leaders.

Critics have noted the post as part of a broader trend of the president misusing artificial intelligence for political messaging.
