The White House posted an AI-generated photo of President Donald Trump depicted as the pope on Friday, days after he joked that he’d “like to be pope.”
The image — which first appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account — comes as cardinals are set to begin conclave on May 7 to elect the next pope. Trump attended Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome last weekend, during which he also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
On Tuesday, days after returning from Francis’ funeral, Trump joked to reporters outside the White House that he’d “like to be pope,” adding, “that would be my number one choice.”
He followed up by saying that he has “no preference” over who is ultimately selected.
Vice President JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, met with the Roman Catholic pontiff one day before his death.
Francis died of a stroke that ultimately led to irreversible heart failure, according to a death certificate issued by the Vatican.
The post of the AI-generated image sparked widespread social media response, with some users condemning the image, while others defended it as a joke.
Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, an outspoken Trump critic, criticized the post and said it “affirms how unserious and incapable [Trump] is.”
It’s not the first time that the White House shared an AI-generated image of Trump.

Did another of the “loyal” White House satff do this for him?
Trump’s trolling democrats... gives them something new to freak out about...
The hell you say.
Good God...why?!?!
Trump’s not Biden - Trump puts out his own stuff and runs his own Presidency. Biden was “weekend with Bernie’...
But I repeat myself.
Tacky!
This is really bizarre, especially coming from the White House which should be focusing on actual problems confronting the country instead of silly AI antics.
There was a great one that I neglected to save a copy of, showing JD Vance in a cardinal’s outfit putting the pope hat on Trump ;-)
I certainly hope there is a method to the madness, here.
I love Trump, but I don’t get what the point of this is.
At least the frock wasn’t blue.
How in the world is this trolling people who don’t believe in God, certainly don’t go to church, and certainly aren’t practicing Catholics anyway?
I think God has a sense of humor, but this is in poor taste - especially when you consider that Catholics overwhelmingly voted for him. I’d be willing to bet my congregation was probably 80%+.
I thought the joke was amusing - “Sure, I’d like to be Pope.” I made a similar joke after mass last Sunday - I asked our parish priest if he was clearing his schedule so he didn’t miss a call from the conclave and he chuckled.
This, though? I’m sure the leftists will scream like they always scream. However, I do for a fact that there will be some Catholics who voted for DJT that won’t find this funny.
It literally takes 5 seconds to generate an AI image like this one.
“It literally takes 5 seconds to generate an AI image like this one.”
*************
True but someone spent some time conceiving of this ridiculous image and getting it approved to post. Strange sense of priorities there, especially on the taxpayer’s dime.
It is a little-known fact that the only requirements to be elected pope are that the individual must be a male and a baptized Catholic. There is no stipulation that he must be a cardinal. By that standard, President Trump, being a man, could convert to Catholicism and meet those minimal criteria.
😂
Omg it’s going to make some heads explode.

Trump has more in common with the Catholic "faithful" than the Pope did.
