US President Donald Trump has removed an AI-generated image from his Truth Social network, which depicted him in an image similar to Jesus Christ. The post caused outrage even among some of his conservative supporters. The Guardian writes about this, as reported by UNN.
According to the publication, the image showed Trump standing by the hospital bed of a sick man, with divine light seemingly emanating from his hands, and a demonic silhouette hovering behind him.
After a wave of criticism, the post was deleted.

Among those who condemned the publication was conservative commentator and Fox News host Riley Gaines. She stated that she did not understand why Trump posted it, adding that "God cannot be mocked."
Daily Wire author Megan Basham called the image "outrageous blasphemy" and urged Trump to apologize to Americans and God.
Another host from the same resource, Isabel Brown, called the post "disgusting and unacceptable," emphasizing that nothing is more important than Jesus.

The publication notes that the original image first appeared in February on the X platform, where it was published by conservative commentator Nick Adams. In the version shared by Trump, some details were changed.
The scandal occurred against the backdrop of Trump's public dispute with Pope Leo XIV. Earlier, the pontiff criticized US foreign policy, and Trump, in response, called him "weak in fighting crime" and stated that he was not his supporter.
The Guardian also notes that the publication appeared shortly after Easter for Catholics and the morning after Easter for Orthodox Christians.
