Trump faces backlash over post depicting him like Jesus

Washington — President Trump's Sunday night Truth Social post of an AI-generated image appearing to depict him in the likeness of Jesus Christ sparked intense backlash, even from some of his most vocal supporters. The post was deleted from the president's Truth Social account late Monday morning.

The image, a slightly altered version of one posted months ago by right-wing influencer Nick Adams, shows the president in a white robe and red sash with a ball of light in one hand and the other hand extended in healing.

The president's post came on Orthodox Easter, exactly one week after other Christians in the U.S. and around the world celebrated Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.

As of Monday morning, the president has not apologized for the image. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

What do you mean apologize? Never does he, will he, or even understand what that is. 🤨

his bootlickers will continue to contort themselves more than the 'magic bullet' in JFK's Dallas limousine to find a way to support him and excuse his behavior - there's nothing he can do wrong.
