According to Forbes, Trump later reposted a screenshot of the tweet on his Truth Social account, adding: “The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!! President DJT.”
Orthodox easter AI image sparks outrage
Earlier this week, Trump faced heavy criticism after sharing another AI image on Orthodox Easter.
That photo depicted him as Jesus descending from the heavens, dressed in a white robe with a red shawl, holding an orb of light while touching the forehead of a sick man in a hospital bed.
The post drew immediate backlash from conservative Christian groups. Journalist Megan Basham labelled it “OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy”, while commentator Cam Higby, a long-time Trump supporter, said he spends "8 hours a day" defending Trump but "will not defend blasphemy."
Trump responds to criticism
Trump later deleted the Easter post and told reporters outside the Oval Office: “I thought it was me as a doctor. Only the fake news could come up with that,” adding, “I make people better.”
On April 12, Trump also criticised Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, calling him too liberal and “weak on crime.” Critics described the attack as “offensive,” “immature” and an “unforced error” that could damage Catholic support in the upcoming midterm elections this November.
History Of AI-generated posts
Trump and his administration have a record of posting AI-doctored images:
- Last year, an AI image depicted Trump as the pope shortly after Pope Francis’ death.
- Earlier this year, Trump shared an AI clip portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, which was widely condemned.
- Other fake images included depictions of a civil rights activist’s arrest in Minnesota, a “Studio Ghibli”-style image of a crying immigrant woman being detained, and fabricated endorsements suggesting Taylor Swift supported his campaign.
Trump’s repeated use of AI-generated religious and political imagery continues to spark controversy. While some supporters view the posts as symbolic, critics argue they risk alienating key voter groups and inflaming religious sensitivities ahead of the midterm elections.
