Donald Trump has posted an image of him and Jesus appearing to embrace despite mounting anger from Christians. The post on Truth Social was captioned: “The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!! President DJT”.
The new photo was originally posted on a page on X called “Irish for Trump” alongside the caption: “I was never a very religious man .. but doesn’t it seem, with all these satanic, demonic, child sacrificing monsters being exposed … that God might be playing his Trump card!” The latest post comes just days after President Trump sparked international fury by posting an image depicting him as Jesus, dressed in robes and using divine power to heal a man.
The now-deleted image, on the US president’s Truth Social account, showed Mr Trump with a glowing outstretched hand on the forehead of a man lying in a bed.
It was later taken down from the platform amid a backlash. Mr Trump claimed he never intended to liken himself to the son of God and insisted it was supposed to depict him as a doctor.
A significant number of Christian voters helped Mr Trump secure his presidential election victory in 2024. But his recent posts have caused dismay across the political spectrum. His attacks on Pope Leo XIV have also upset US Catholics.
Mr Trump had harsh words for the pontiff after Leo called for a softening of war rhetoric. The US president called Leo “weak” and captive to the “radical left” on social media earlier this week.
His unfounded claims came after the Pope called Mr Trump’s threats towards Iran “truly unacceptable”.
