Many are calling for President Donald Trump to “delete the picture” after he posted an AI-generated image expecting himself as Jesus Christ.
The image was posted on Truth Social Sunday night and shows Trump in a Christ-like role, healing a sick patient, per Mediaite.
Shortly after the posting many were quick to call out the “blasphemous”image.
Conservative Daily Wire contributor Michael Knowles urged Trump to “delete the picture.”
“I assume someone has already told him, but it behooves the President both spiritually and politically to delete the picture, no matter the intent,” Knowles posted.
Riley Gaines, host of The Riley Gaines Show podcast for OutKick, posted a stern message on X.
“Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he’d post this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this?
Either way, two things are true.
1) a little humility would serve him well
2) God shall not be mocked,” she posted.
Youth commentator Brilyn Hollyhand posted as well, stating, “Faith is not a prop.”
“This is gross blasphemy. Faith is not a prop.You don’t need to portray yourself as a savior when your record should speak for itself,” Hollyhand wrote.
“The same God who saved Trump’s life from that bullet sent His son Jesus to die for our sins.
He died for Trump just as much as for you and I,” he added.
Watch:
Red State writer Bonchie said that no matter the circumstances, Trump’s post was inappropriate.
“Guys, some things can’t be excused by turning them into online slap fights because some things have larger implications than online slap fights. Such as blasphemy,” Bonchie wrote.
“Trump needs to delete that meme and apologize. It’s that simple.”
Trump posted the image shortly after he ignited his feud with Pope Leo XIV with a blistering long-winded tirade where he called the pontiff “weak.” Trump previously shared AI-generated imagery depicting himself as pope following the death of Pope Francis.
That image drew criticism, too, though the latest post has provoked a wider reaction, uniting commenters from both Catholic and protestant perspectives against his post.
