Trump Faces Backlash After Sharing Controversial AI Image on Truth Social
23 hours ago
President Donald Trump is facing criticism after sharing an AI-generated image on Truth Social that appears to depict him in a religious-style portrayal. The post quickly circulated online and sparked backlash from critics.
The controversy comes as Trump continues to trade sharp exchanges with Pope Leo XIV over the ongoing conflict in Iran and broader U.S. foreign policy.
The Pope responded earlier, saying the Vatican’s calls for peace are rooted in the Gospel and not political opposition to the administration. He emphasized that his message is a broader appeal to end violence, not a direct attack on the president.
Speaking separately, the Pope reiterated concerns about escalating global conflict and urged diplomacy amid rising tensions in the region.
Trump fired back on social media and in remarks to reporters, calling the Pope too liberal and “weak on crime” and foreign policy, while also criticizing the Vatican’s stance on U.S. actions abroad, including Venezuela.
The exchange marks a continued escalation in rhetoric between the White House and the Vatican as tensions remain high over international conflicts.
