Trump's Jesus Meme Sparks Backlash

Trump's Jesus Meme Sparks Backlash

The Truth Social post, which showed a divine figure embracing the president, was condemned by religious leaders and political opponents as 'blasphemous' and 'unhinged.' Sources suggest that Trump discussed the meme with controversial housing chief Bill Pulte before deciding to share it with his millions of followers.

While influential evangelical Franklin Graham dismissed the controversy, many other faith leaders have expressed concern over Trump's escalating religious rhetoric.

The incident has provided fresh ammunition for late-night hosts and political satirists, who have used the meme to question the president's mental state ahead of the midterms.
