There isn’t much that Donald Trump can do anymore to shock with a social media post, but he managed it on Sunday night. Just hours after taking shots at Pope Leo XIV, the president posted a picture of himself as Jesus Christ, seeming to heal a man who appeared to be on his deathbed.

The post drew rebukes from the types of people who don’t typically criticize Trump.

As The Daily Beast described it, “President Donald Trump followed a bizarre rant against Pope Leo XIV with an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ. The image, posted to Truth Social late Sunday night, depicts Trump as Christ, laying his hand on a patient in a hospital bed, seemingly healing him.”

“He is surrounded by other figures, including a nurse, a soldier, and a praying woman. Also present in the image is the U.S. flag, several bald eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and the Lincoln Memorial.”

The post was later deleted.

Some MAGA apostates, like former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, were quick to jump on the president for posting this.

But the post was also denounced by some people who remain Trump loyalists.
