Trump Posts Jesus-Like Picture of Himself Performing Miracle on Sick Man, Minutes After Ramping Up Feud With Pope Leo
Source: Mediaite
President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself seemingly in the role of Jesus Christ on Sunday night, complete with the robe-donning president reinvigorating a sick man with his healing hand while a nurse looked on and an American Eagle soared above.
The bizarre and some would probably argue sacrilegious post was made about 40 minutes after the president went off on Pope Leo XIV in a blistering social media rant. More on that below.
Trumps picture had a lot going on in it. Beyond the aforementioned details, a praying woman and a man wearing what looks to be some sort of ICE uniform look on pensively as Trump works his miracle.
The presidents hand is lit up in a holy manner, and behind him is the American flag and the Statue of Liberty; fighter jets and what appears to be soldiers who have become angels are also seen above Trump; an American soldier is also seen watching Trump as he cures the man in a hospital bed.

Iâm not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

(1,837 posts)I think they believe he is the second coming. They would drink the kool aid even if they knew it was spiked.
Those angered by it, likely already hated him. Im getting to the point where Im nearly numb. Sickened? Disgusted? Absolutely. Just knowing that theres no line he cant cross, and still has any support, will never let me look at this country the same way again.

(5,418 posts)In every way he is the opposite of the Jesus
Love thy neighbor - opposite
Help the poor - opposite
Give unto others like thy self - opposite !!!
It's almost like he's the opposite-christ...
Hmm, isn't there a better word for that... Anti-something ?

(1,837 posts)Particular conservative evangelicals. Theyre often extremely greedy, worship money and wealth over all else, dont care for their neighbors unless they think, look, and vote the way they do.
I dont see this as often among Christians from many other countries (other than various African countries where they can be extremely conservative).
Christians throughout the world are a very diverse bunch, ranging many denominations. Many may have some conservative personal beliefs, but for the most part, they favor a social safety net, but dont support outright fascist policies. Depending on the countrys culture, they may even support LGBT or abortion rights.
We have a weird strain of white nationalism mixed with Christianity, which is particularly toxic. I like how Talarico addresses this.

(1,722 posts)They have the out to say:
"Oh, that crazy stuff was just trump, the "New Guy" republican will be totally different,"
just like they do after every republican destroys the economy and starts a war in the middle east. They do not learn, and they refuse to accept that the crazy stuff is the republican brand, not just lunatic trump. I would eat my shoe if more than a vanishing minority of trump voters that are claiming that this "is the last straw" actually change their voting patterns because of it.

(6,259 posts)that made sense. But then why would he have a picture of the Statue of Liberty also in the background? And why are there only three spikes on its head?
muriel_volestrangler
(106,311 posts)People have found an earlier version, posted by some MAGA fan, that had another soldier where the demon/flying liberty is now. So I guess someone went to AI and said "replace the middle soldier with ..." . I wouldn't think they meant it to be something evil, and whatever they said, they thought the result was "cool". Whether it has the right number of spikes may not matter to them, and like AI drawing people with the wrong number of fingers, the number of spikes is not something it can "think" about.
A human artist (or the one instructing AI) might say the Statue of Liberty is a statue (though not in the right geographical location), while the flying version is "the real thing". If someone thinks Trump is a Jesus replacement, then they could easily believe there is an actual "Lady Liberty" supernatural spirit that does flypasts while St. Don has glowing, healing hands.

All in harmony, endlessly, in Trump's father's voice.
While the worms in his brain harmonize a background tune.
The picture sickens me, and I'm not religious.

(1,205 posts)He almost killed me.
I am a lymphoma survivor.
I was first diagnosed in 1990; it returned in 2002 and 2019.
When, it returned in 2019, I had to go through five different treatments to find a successful one.
ACA provides me protection against lifetime limits.
ACA is a law Trump wanted to repeal in 2017 and still wants to repeal.
When it returned in 2019, it was near my spinal column.
I will not paint a picture of the suffering that I would have endured if Trump was successful in repealing ACA and there were no more lifetime limits.
Not to mention the thousands of lives lost due in part due to his COVID policies in his first term.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/10/us-coronavirus-response-donald-trump-health-policy
Also, millions this year will lose their insurance in this year alone due to GOP Senate not passing ACA subsidies, which Trump has said he may veto even if it passes.

(180,432 posts)The presidents offensive against the pope, followed by the image presenting himself as some kind of American Jesus, represented quite the one-two punch.
I get that many will find Trumpâs offensive against the pope as predictable â this is just what he does â but compare how he lashed out at Pope Francis in 2016 to how he targeted Pope Leo XIV yesterday.

And then add in the mind-numbing American Jesus image.

In a 330-word tirade published on Sunday night to his social media platform, Trump wrote, among other things:
Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesnt! Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. Its hurting him very badly and, more importantly, its hurting the Catholic Church!
.....Soon after, during a brief Q&A with reporters, Trump was asked why he attacked the pope. Instead of challenging the premise, the Republican replied, I dont think hes doing a very good job. He likes crime, I guess. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.
Reporter: Why did you attack Pope Leo?
— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2026-04-13T01:33:12.402Z
Trump: I donât think heâs doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We donât like a pope who says itâs ok to have a nuclear weapon. We donât want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.
.....To be sure, none of this was too surprising. Leo, for example, recently chastised those who invoke God as supportive of military might, saying in a homily on Palm Sunday, Brothers and sisters, this is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them....
The question was less about whether Team Trump, which has spent months clashing with the faith community, would go after the Catholic leader, and more about how. We now have an answer.
On Monday morning, aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria, the churchs first-ever American pope told The Associated Press, I have no fear of the Trump administration.....
For good measure, this back-and-forth was not the Republicans only message related to religion.
And Trump posted an image of himself as some sort of American Jesus healing people.

On Sunday night, Trump apparently thought it would also be a good idea to promote an image that appeared to present him as some kind of American Jesus.
There is behavior thats so self-evidently deranged that merely seeing it should lead to fury and disgust, The New York Times David French wrote in response. Im concerned, however, that some evangelicals are so influenced by Trump that they wont unite with their Catholic brothers and sisters in response to Trumps blasphemy and intolerable attacks on the pope, but will instead turn against them.
trump is truly crazy.

(669 posts)They say he is just carrying out the commands of Christ to heal..in this case he is healing the nation..he is portraying himself as a doctor or it's someone else that posted it. Most MAGAs will spin this in his favor..
Remember that golden statue of him that people knelt before ? He IS their God.
They worship him and nothing will change them.

After facing a wave of backlash from critics and supporters alike, President Donald Trump appeared to have deleted a social media post that featured an image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure â prompting ridicule from onlookers.

Thou shalt always TACO Trump 3:16, quipped Tommy Christopher, writer and editor for Mediaite and former White House reporter, in a social media post on X to his more than 25,000 followers.....
Later on Monday morning, however, Trump or his staffers appeared to have deleted the social media post, prompting some to take further digs at the president, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Now delete your presidency, Newsom wrote in a social media post on X to his nearly 3 million followers.
