Donald Trump has been forced to delete a bizarre AI-generated picture of himself depicted as a Jesus-like figure to his Truth Social platform.

The US president has been known to share weird and controversial artificially generated content before, having previously shared the dystopian ‘Trump Gaza’ video on social media.

The disturbing clip, which was originally created as satire following Trump unveiling his property development plan for Gaza, showed the war-torn strip turned into a Dubai-like beach resort lined with skyscrapers.

Now, the 79-year-old has taken it one step further, by sharing a peculiar AI picture of himself portraying Jesus.

It’s reported Trump shared the image in an attempt to criticize Pope Leo XIV, however the idea quickly backfired, prompting him to delete the post.

The post came after the POTUS accused the Catholic leader of being ‘weak on crime,’ and said he was too influenced by Barack Obama’s strategist David Axelrod.

When people urged him to apologize to the pope, he said: “He went public. I’m just responding to Pope Leo.”

The US-born pope previously made comments referring to a ‘delusion of omnipotence’ driving US foreign policy, specifically in reference to the war with Iran.

While he didn’t name Trump, the president appeared to take offence to the comments, saying the pop was ‘catering to the radical left.’

The picture shared by Trump showed him with divine light emanating from his hands as he appears to heal a sick man in a hospital bed, which many people have taken to assume Trump is depicting Jesus Christ.

While this has sparked much backlash within the Christian community, it was the figure above Trump’s head that really got people talking.

At the top of the image, people quickly noticed what appeared to be a demon-like figure with horns floating in the background.

Many people suggested the picture looked like it depicted a ‘demon running away,’ with the president eventually deleting the post after it was accused of being ‘outrageous blasphemy.’

“What the heck is that creature in the middle?” one person questioned, while another added: “Sorry, what is… that?”

A third commented: “Bible always mentions Satan is The Dragon with horns the Original Serpent and it also mentions there are many anti-Christ who are Fake Christians and worship the Devil.”

“I had Grok enhance it,” a fourth added, “it looks like a demon walking away.”

When questioned whether he was attempting to depict himself as Jesus, Trump said: “It wasn’t a depiction, it was me. It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better.”

“And I do make people better,” he added. “I make people a lot better.”

The controversial post did not go down well among Trump’s Christian supporters, who have accused the president of ‘outrageous blasphemy,’ over the disturbing image.

One of his long-time supporters Riley Gaines, a conservative commentator who hosts a Fox News podcast, said she ‘cannot understand why he’d post this,’ and she’s not the only one who feels this way.

“Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this? Either way, two things are true,” she continued in the post on X. 1) a little humility would serve him well 2) God shall not be mocked.”

Meanwhile, conservative writer Megan Basham penned in the Daily Wire: “I don’t know if the President thought he was being funny or if he is under the influence of some substance or what possible explanation he could have for this.”

She went on to say the POTUS ought to “take this down immediately and ask for forgiveness from the American people and then from God.”

Her colleague Isabel Brown described the AI image as ‘disgusting and unacceptable,’ adding that ‘nothing matters more than Jesus.’

“This post is, frankly, disgusting and unacceptable, but also a profound misreading of the American people experiencing a true and beautiful revival of faith in Christ,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, former supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene, who recently called for Trump to be removed from office, said: “I completely denounce this and I’m praying against it!!!”

Vice President JD Vance has downplayed the controversial image, saying it was taken down because not everyone understand’s Trump’s humor.
