Donald Trump has defended his now-deleted post depicting himself as Jesus Christ, claiming he believed the AI-generated image showed him as a doctor.
Trump deleted the post on Monday morning after it drew accusations of blasphemy from his own right-wing supporters. The President’s stunning defense came as he stood outside the Oval Office holding two bags of fresh McDonald’s fast food.
'It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one,' Trump told reporters. 'It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better and I do make people better.'
The AI-generated image, posted to his Truth Social account, showed Trump draped in white with a red shawl, hands glowing with divine light, as he healed a sick patient in a hospital bed while a soldier, a nurse and others looked on in adoration.
It was posted Sunday evening and by Monday morning had sparked a furious backlash from Trump's own base.
Ex-Trump ally and Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said the image was 'more than blasphemy' and that 'it's an Antichrist spirit.'
Conservative commentator Michael Knowles wrote: 'I assume someone has already told him, but it behooves the President both spiritually and politically to delete the picture, no matter the intent.'
Right-wing influencer Riley Gaines said: 'Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he'd post this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this? Either way, two things are true. 1) a little humility would serve him well 2) God shall not be mocked.'

Hullo - it’s called Trolling.
“Extraordinary defense…”
And it’s working really well, too.
True dat! ROTFL!
People obsessing over this nonsense display exactly why they deserve to be ridiculed.
You don't like it, go vote for a commie and STFU you bunch of crybabies.
👏 👏 👏 🏆
Seems so genuine having libs at the Daily Fail concern themselves over “blesphamy” against Christianity.
Oh yeah? Maybe you should have dressed like Doogie Houser or Marcus Welby instead of Jesus. And the people praying to him in the background. I refuse to be believe Trump would be that dense or think we are that dense. A simple "I'm sorry, that was in bad taste" would have been better.
I'm a solid Trump supporter and devout Catholic, but I don't think any man is above criticism. Not the Pope. Not President Trump. No disrespect to either, just the truth.
So what? Now, why don’t you go out and vote for democrats and commies.
You’ll show him!
Anyone insulted by this or outraged by this is a laughable joke of a human being.
It is blasphemous to wear a tunic (tunica in Latin) now?
Ah, well. A missed opportunity.
Not it’s called doubling down on stupid. Trump is not stupid. That is why sensible people who support him are not falling for that explanation. He messed up. He needs to own it and move on.
True enough— anyone taking a gander at the miles of piles of photos of fake as hell nobodies in states of disrobing or showing off their supposed “gaaaaaah” bodies for a slavering stupid Brit public— people noone has ever heard of or would even want to. Daily Mail— check its entire history.. a front for the lowest of low street slime across the Empire (the one that is no more- thanks to the Daily Mail in no small way).Look whom they revere—and then never click on them again. Tabloid. The Daily Mail says “please clap, or get some”.
Crazy day. This ad the Pope just said that Christ stains and Muslims share Communion.
Put me in the category as one who will always be outraged by blasphemy and insulted when a good man thinks I just fell off the turnip truck.
Looks like Trump as a doctor to me.
Pearl clutchers clutch

With all that is going on in the world, we get four postings about the AI Trump image.
