US President Donald Trump has posted a bizarre image of himself depicted as Jesus Christ, which soon went viral on social media.
The image, which is being called “unhinged,” quickly drew the mockery of social media users, with one stating: “The whole world has gone absolutely crazy.”
Another said: “Looks like he is healing Jeffrey Epstein.”
The image was posted just hours after Trump launched an extraordinary tirade against the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo.
Writing in a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump referred to Pope Leo as “Weak on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.”
Trump went on to condemn the Pope’s alleged attitude to migration and the war in Iran, the 2020 Covid pandemic in which he claims priests were getting arrested due to holding church services.
Trump made a personal attack on Pope Leo, adding, “I like his brother Louis much better”.
The post reads: “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country.
“And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do…
Trump has lashed out at Pope Leo, demanding the first US-born pontiff “get his act together” and accusing him of pandering to the radical left.
“Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The attack came after Pope Leo used a peace vigil at St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City on Saturday to make a direct appeal to world leaders to abandon conflict and return to the negotiating table.
“Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life,” he told those gathered at the evening service.
