Donald Trump has removed a controversial social media post featuring an AI-generated image of himself portrayed as a Christ-like figure, following strong criticism from his own conservative and Christian supporters.
The image, shared on his platform Truth Social, quickly sparked outrage, with many calling it inappropriate and offensive. Critics, including members of his core support base, described the post as “disgusting” and accused it of disrespecting religious sentiments.
The backlash highlights growing concerns over the use of artificial intelligence in political messaging, particularly when it touches on sensitive religious themes. While Trump did not immediately issue a detailed explanation, the post was taken down shortly after criticism intensified online.
The incident underscores the delicate balance political figures must maintain when engaging with digital tools and symbolism, especially among audiences with strong religious values.
