A now-deleted post seen April 12, 2026, on U.S. President Donald Trump's Truth Social account depicts an AI-generated image of himself that was widely regarded across the political spectrum showing Trump as Jesus Christ. Trump posted the AI-generated image 46 minutes after delivering a social media tirade against Pope Leo XIV. He confirmed with reporters April 13 he posted it but claimed it was intended to show him as a doctor "making people better."
