President Donald Trump‘s Truth Social account removed an image depicting him as a Christ-like figure, after the post generated a wave of outrage from those across the political spectrum including some conservatives who deemed it blasphemous.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Late Sunday evening, Trump posted an apparently AI-generated photo of himself dressed as Jesus, healing a sick man as doctors and members of the military watch in adoration with a U.S. flag, bald eagles, the Statue of Liberty and fighter jets in the background. (See the full image below.) That came after the president had blasted Pope Leo in a tirade on Truth Social as “weak” for opposing the Iran war.
