The picture, which was first posted by Trump on his social media network Truth Social and later shared by the White House on X, depicts Trump in papal attire with a large crucifix hanging around his neck, while sitting on the coronation chair and pointing with his index finger.
Just hours after Vatican workers installed the chimney onto the roof of the Sistine Chapel in preparation for the Papal Conclave, which will begin on May 7 to select a new pope, the White House shared an AI-generated image of President Donald Trump in papal regalia on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
"Memes depicting Trump as Christ have been and always will be called out as blasphemy. The Pope picture is actually funny. Calm down, folks," Grage wrote. Meanwhile, Democratic activist and influencer Harry Sisson accused "MAGA" of electing a "man-child."
