Trump Deletes AI Image Depicting Himself as Jesus After Public Outrage

US President Donald Trump has removed an AI-generated image of himself from social media platforms after it sparked widespread criticism and ridicule online.

The image, which showed Trump depicted as a Jesus-like figure, was posted by Trump earlier today. However, he subsequently deleted the post shortly after it gained traction on social media.

According to reports, Trump claimed that the image was intended to represent him “as a doctor”. The move comes amid ongoing tensions between Trump and Pope Leo XIV over the US’s involvement in the war in Iran.

The AI-generated image sparked intense online reaction, with many users expressing outrage and ridicule at the depiction of Trump in a religious context. Social media platforms were flooded with comments and memes mocking the image, which was widely shared and discussed on various online forums.

Trump’s decision to delete the post has been seen as an attempt to mitigate the backlash. The incident highlights the potential risks and consequences of using AI-generated content in public discourse.
