US President Donald Trump has come under fire from some Catholics after sharing an AI-generated image depicting himself as the Pope.
The image, posted on official White House social media accounts, appeared as Catholics worldwide mourn the death of Pope Francis, who passed away on April 21, and prepare to elect a new pontiff.
The New York State Catholic Conference condemned the post, accusing Trump of disrespecting the faith. The controversy follows remarks Trump made to reporters days earlier, saying, “I’d like to be Pope.” (Newswire)
