U.S. President, Donald Trump has sparked fresh controversy after publicly criticizing Pope Leo XIV and sharing an image that portrays himself as Jesus Christ.

The situation escalated when Trump shared a digitally altered image depicting himself in a Christ-like pose, complete with symbolic religious imagery.

Critics from across the political and religious spectrum condemned the post as offensive and inappropriate, arguing that it trivializes deeply held beliefs.
Religious scholars and Christian organizations were among the first to respond, with many calling the image disrespectful. Some noted that blending political messaging with sacred symbolism risks deepening divisions among believers and politicizing faith.
Trump’s supporters, however, defended the post as symbolic or satirical, suggesting it was meant to emphasize his influence and resilience rather than to mock religion.
