Donald Trump Sparks Controversy with AI-Generated Image of Himself as Pope

US President Donald Trump has caused a stir on social media after posting an AI-generated image of himself dressed in papal attire, sitting on a coronation chair. The image, shared on his Truth Social page and later by the White House on X, quickly went viral. While some users found the post humorous, others deemed it disrespectful, especially given that it came shortly after Pope Francis’ death. Critics accused Trump of mocking the late Pope, with one user calling it “childish behavior.”

Trump had previously expressed a desire to become the next Pope, further fueling the backlash. The incident has sparked debates over respect and mockery in the public domain.
