Trump Posts Image with Jesus
Critics decried President Trump's AI-generated image of himself as Jesus as blasphemous, leading to its removal from Truth Social.
- On Sunday, April 12, 2026, President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image on Truth Social depicting himself as Jesus healing a man, then deleted it the following day after widespread criticism.
- When questioned about the image a day later, Trump denied involvement, claiming, "No, no, I didn't have anything to do with that. I didn't send it out," despite earlier praising it as "quite nice!!!"
- Conservative Christians and commentators denounced the post as blasphemous. Pastor Doug Wilson stated he was grateful to see many Christians immediately reject the "blasphemous Jesus/Trump image."
- On the "Tucker Carlson Show," former supporter Tucker Carlson blasted Trump for the AI image and comments mocking Islam, calling the post "disruptive. It" and describing him as a "famously irreligious man."
- Historically, presenting oneself as Jesus was considered blasphemous, according to Philip C. Almond, Emeritus Professor in the History of Religious Thought at The University of Queensland. Blasphemy laws date to the 17th century.
