US President Donald Trump has deleted an AI-generated image of himself portraying Jesus Christ following intense criticism from religious communities.
The controversial image, which was shared on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, showed him in a Christ-like appearance, sparking widespread backlash.
Christian leaders and religious groups accused Trump of blasphemy, stating that the depiction was offensive and disrespectful to religious sentiments.
The post remained online for nearly 12 hours before being removed, but not before it had already gone viral across multiple social media platforms.
Following the criticism, Trump attempted to defend the image, claiming that he intended to present himself as a doctor or humanitarian figure, similar to a Red Cross worker.
However, critics questioned this explanation, pointing out the presence of symbolic elements such as glowing light effects resembling traditional depictions of Jesus.
Observers noted that the incident reflects ongoing controversies surrounding the use of AI-generated content and its potential to provoke public and religious sensitivities.
The episode has reignited debate about responsible use of technology, public messaging, and respect for religious beliefs in digital spaces.
