Trump's Jesus post sparks backlash

The controversial Truth Social post, which was deleted following a fierce backlash from Christians, has reignited the debate over the president's use of religious imagery.

While some allies like Franklin Graham dismissed the incident as 'much ado about nothing,' others, including Senator Thom Tillis, said the image should never have been posted.

The White House defended the president, suggesting the image was intended as a metaphor for his role as a 'healer' of the nation.

Critics argue the post was blasphemous and highlights the president's deteriorating mental state.
