President Donald Trump was condemned by some of his Christian supporters on Sunday evening after he posted an image on social media depicting himself as Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
The image<\/a> shows Trump, dressed in a white tunic and red robe, healing a man in a hospital bed as people around Trump look on in adoration and prayer. The image appears to have originated on social media in February when conservative social media personality Nick Adams shared<\/a> it on X with the caption, \u201cAmerica has been sick for a long time. President Trump is healing this nation.\u201d<\/p>\n Screenshot: Truth Social<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The image, which remains on Trump\u2019s Truth Social page as of Monday morning, was a step too far in the minds of many of his Christian supporters, who often defend the president\u2019s unconventional social media tactics. Many of Trump\u2019s Christian supporters urged the president to take it down, with some Christians calling the image \u201cblasphemous<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI assume someone has already told him, but it behooves the President both spiritually and politically to delete the picture, no matter the intent,\u201d wrote<\/a> Daily Wire host Michael Knowles.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know if the President thought he was being funny or if he is under the influence of some substance or what possible explanation he could have for this OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy,\u201d said<\/a> Megan Basham, \u201cBut he needs to take this down immediately and ask for forgiveness from the American people and then from God.\u201d<\/p>\n The Daily Wire reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n Trump posted the image less than one hour after he blasted Pope Leo XIV in another social media post, calling the pope \u201cweak\u201d and suggesting he didn\u2019t deserve to be chosen for the position. The pope has been critical of Trump\u2019s immigration policies and the military campaign against Iran.<\/p>\n \u201cGod does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs,\u201d Pope Leo said<\/a> last week. \u201cMilitary action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n In his Palm Sunday message last month, Pope Leo also said that Jesus \u201crejects war\u201d and \u201cdoes not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump responded to the pope\u2019s comments Sunday evening, writing, \u201cI don\u2019t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I\u2019m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLeo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise,\u201d Trump added. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-13T075044.115-384x576.jpg\")
