Trump faces backlash over post depicting him like Jesus [View all]

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.
