BlockBeats News, April 14th, U.S. President Trump released an AI-generated image of himself portrayed as Jesus Christ, enraging the religious right and sparking the strongest backlash from Catholic and Evangelical supporters since his return to the White House.
John Yep, CEO of the nonprofit organization "Catholics for Catholic People Support," said, "We are a bit perplexed. Catholics overwhelmingly support this president, but at this moment, he is so disrespectful to our faith, which really confuses us." The organization had previously held religious events at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate and maintained close ties with the government.
In recent years, despite initial reservations, conservative Christian supporters have continued to stand by Trump, accompanying him through two impeachments and three elections. Trump has also fulfilled his campaign promises to them, nominating a Supreme Court justice who helped overturn the Roe v. Wade decision. However, for many Christian leaders, Trump crossed a line on Sunday night with the image he posted on "True Social," along with his sharp criticism of Pope Leo XIV.
