Controversial Image of President Trump as Jesus Christ Removed from Truth Social: Backlash and Criticism Follow
President Trump's controversial image on Truth Social, depicting himself as Jesus Christ, has been removed from his account. The image, which showed Trump in religious attire healing a sick man, received backlash from some conservative supporters. The post also included symbols like the American flag, eagles, and the Statue of Liberty. Following the post, Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV, who opposed the Iran war without mentioning Trump directly. Despite calls from his Christian allies to delete the image, it was taken down on Monday morning.
Conservative figures like Riley Gaines and Michael Knowles expressed their concerns about the post, urging Trump to show humility and remove the image. Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Trump for attacking the Pope and portraying himself as Jesus on Orthodox Easter. She denounced the post and prayed against it, highlighting the controversial nature of Trump's recent social media activity. The now-deleted image sparked a debate among Trump's supporters and critics, leading to its removal from Truth Social.
