Trump shares new AI image as feud with Pope Leo XIV escalates

President Donald Trump is not backing down from his battle with Pope Leo XIV, resharing an AI-generated image showing him being embraced by Jesus.

The latest post, which shows Trump with an angelic light and the U.S. flag circling him and the AI Jesus, follows another AI-generated image that he posted - and later took down - earlier in the week, of himself in red and white robes with a light in one hand and blessing a sick man with the other.

The post evoked imagery of Jesus healing the sick and sparked backlash from some of Trump's political party. The president denied that it depicted him as Jesus.
