Former President Donald Trump faced significant backlash this week after posting an AI-generated image depicting Jesus embracing him. This controversy follows a previous post where critics claimed he portrayed himself as Jesus Christ, which he deleted amid widespread criticism. Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse and a key evangelical supporter of Trump, welcomed the president's clarification regarding the intent behind the posts. Graham expressed gratitude that Trump removed the earlier image, which many deemed inappropriate. Critics, including Christian activists and journalists, condemned both images as blasphemous, with some calling for Trump to seek forgiveness. In defense, Trump stated that he intended the image to be seen as a lighthearted portrayal of himself as a healer, attributing the backlash to media misrepresentation. He ultimately removed the original image to prevent further confusion.
