Trump posts AI image of himself as pope
Donald Trump has posted an AI-generated image of himself dressed in papal regalia on his Truth Social platform - just 11 days after the death of Pope Francis.
Uploaded onto his account early on Saturday morning, it shows the US president with a large gold cross on a chain around his neck. From there, it was published, without comment or explanation, on the White House X and Instagram accounts and, though it drew fierce criticism, it was liked more than 100,000 times.
It comes just a few days after the world leader joked that he'd like to be the pontiff. Last week, he was asked by reporters on the White House lawn who he would like to succeed Francis and he replied: "I'd like to be Pope.
That would be my number one choice." He went on to say that he did not have a preference, but there was a cardinal in New York who was "very good". Mr Trump was quickly accused of mocking Pope Francis's death, but, by noon, UK time, the post had been liked more than 58,000 times on Instagram.
User comments, however, were mostly negative, with one saying that the image "isn't funny. It's not satire.
And it's not harmless". Another simply called it "disgusting.
