Trump's AI Image Likening Himself to Savior Jesus Sparks Outrage, Deleted Post Followed by Jesus Hugging Photo

Former US President Donald Trump's recent AI-generated image, which portrayed him as a savior-like figure akin to Jesus Christ, has ignited significant controversy and backlash, even from his own supporters. The image, initially posted on Trump's social media platform 'Truth Social' on April 12th, showed him in robes with glowing hands, healing a patient, surrounded by patriotic symbols. This depiction drew anger from Christians and individuals across the political spectrum. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former Republican congresswoman, criticized the post, stating she 'prayed to stop this.' Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont called Trump's actions 'insane' and an act of 'extreme narcissism.' Even within Trump's core 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) base, the image faced fierce criticism, leading to its deletion on April 13th. Several days later, on April 15th, Trump shared another AI-generated image on 'Truth Social,' originally from the platform X. This new image depicted Jesus with an arm around Trump's shoulder and the other hand on his chest, their heads leaning together, with a halo and the American flag in the background. Trump captioned this post: 'The crazies of the radical left may not like this, but I think it’s pretty good!!! President Trump.'
