Donald Trump reposted an image on his social media account on Wednesday depicting Jesus embracing him. The image, seemingly AI-generated, shows Trump with his eyes closed, standing behind a microphone with an American flag in the background. This occurred two days after Trump deleted a previous post that drew criticism for allegedly comparing himself to Jesus. The repost included a caption defending the image against criticism from the "Radical Left Lunatics." This posting comes amid an ongoing feud between Trump and Pope Leo, who has been critical of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
