Many conservatives are in a whirlwind after President Trump’s latest post on Truth Social.
On Sunday night, President Trump posted a photo on Truth Social that showed him healing a man in the heavens while wearing a white tunic with a red sash.
Many believed Trump was depicting himself as Jesus.
Take a look:
Following an attack on Pope Leo XIV, President Trump posted an image on Truth Social depicting himself as Jesus Christ.

Here’s what MTG had to say:

On Orthodox Easter, President Trump attacked the Pope because the Pope is rightly against Trump’s war in Iran and then he posted this picture of himself as if he is replacing Jesus.
This comes after last week’s post of his evil tirade on Easter and then threatening to kill an entire civilization.
I completely denounce this and I’m praying against it!!!
TPUSA’s Riley Gaines:
Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he'd post this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this?
Either way, two things are true.
1) a little humility would serve him well
2) God shall not be mocked https://t.co/GViHqWeDEr— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) April 13, 2026
The original picture was posted by Nick Adams back in 2024:

However, in the original photo, there was not a “demon” like creature in the photo, like the one Trump posted:
Turns out the original photo was posted by @NickAdamsinUSA but someone in the Trump camp decided it would be wise to alter it to add a demon and repost. 👀

Well, here’s the context of the post.
Trump posted the photo after taking jabs at Pope Leo, so the meme may be depicting Trump as the Pope and not Jesus.
The New York Times provided a timeline:
Shortly after criticizing Pope Leo XIV in a lengthy social media post on Sunday, President Trump shared an apparently A.I.-generated image depicting him as a Jesus-like figure.
The image, which was posted on the president’s account on his social media platform, Truth Social, shows Mr. Trump dressed in white and red robes. In the illustration, the president’s hands emit shining lights, and his right hand is touching the forehead of a man lying on a bed, wearing a hospital gown. The image evokes religious art depicting Jesus healing the sick.
The illustration was posted without commentary, less than an hour after Mr. Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV in another post, calling him “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” The pope, the first American-born pontiff to lead the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics, has spoken out against the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, condemning the “absurd and inhuman violence” unleashed by the fighting.
ADVERTISEMENTResponding to Mr. Trump’s comments, the pope said Monday that he has “no fear of the Trump administration, or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do.”
In the image posted on Sunday, the man in the bed is surrounded by figures looking up at Mr. Trump, including a person in a medical uniform with a stethoscope around their neck, a praying woman and a man in a camouflage uniform. The background of the image includes the Statue of Liberty, a building resembling the Lincoln Memorial, fighter jets, eagles, fireworks and a billowing American flag.
Mr. Trump has posted a number of apparently A.I.-generated images of himself on social media over the last year, sometimes drawing significant backlash. In May 2025, after the death of Pope Francis, Mr. Trump posted an image of himself as pontiff, drawing criticism, including from Catholics.
Is it possible that President Trump depicted himself as a Pope and not Jesus? The Truth Social post came shortly after he made a statement against Pope Leo. pic.twitter.com/Lu1xo6SRSV

One year ago Trump posted himself as the Pope. Some people had a meltdown. Nobody remembers it today. pic.twitter.com/7GvfJsyVWv
