President Donald Trump has posted an AI-generated image of himself in papal regalia, just 11 days after Pope Francis’ death.
The image, posted on Truth Social, shows President Trump dressed in white wearing a papal hat, known as a mitre, with a large crucifix hanging around his neck.

The post has been met with bemusement and criticism, with many describing it as disrespectful.
“Please take this down,” pleaded one social media user. “Many Catholics, myself included, find this as a great disrespect to the past and future leader of our church.”
