US President Donald Trump faced significant backlash after posting an AI-generated image that depicted him in a Jesus-like manner, which he later claimed was meant to show him as a doctor. The image, which portrayed Trump in a white robe with a glowing hand on a sick man, drew criticism from various groups, including devout Christians and political allies. Trump defended the post, stating it was related to the Red Cross and aimed at healing. Critics, including former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene, condemned the image, particularly as it was shared on Orthodox Easter. Additionally, Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV for his comments advocating peace in the Middle East, asserting there was 'nothing to apologize for.' The pope, however, chose not to engage directly with Trump, emphasizing he was 'not a politician.' Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also labeled Trump's remarks as 'unacceptable.'
