Trump deletes Jesus AI image

Trump deletes Jesus AI image

An unholy row has erupted between President Donald Trump and the Catholic Church following the president's unprecedented verbal attacks on Pope Leo XIV. After branding the pontiff 'weak on crime' for his opposition to the Iran war, Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself appearing to perform divine healings.

The president later claimed he believed the image depicted him as a doctor, though the explanation was widely mocked by late-night hosts and critics.

The controversy has deeply offended many American Catholics and evangelical Christians, potentially creating a political liability ahead of the midterm elections.
