Washington (USA) – After political differences with the head of the Christian Church, Pope Leo XIV, US President Donald Trump had shared an image on social media in which he portrayed himself in the form of Jesus Christ. Religious leaders strongly objected to the image, calling it an act of ‘blasphemy’. Following the backlash, Trump removed the image from social media.

Trump rejected the allegations that he compared himself to Jesus Christ. Speaking to journalists, he said, “After sharing the image, I felt that I was a ‘doctor’ and that I was associated with the Red Cross (an organisation that provides aid to victims during wars and disasters). I heal people, and I will continue to do so.”
