  • Did Trump post, delete AI image depicting himself in likeness of Jesus? | Snopes.com

    He confirmed he had, but said he thought it showed him as a doctor rather than Jesus: It was me. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor, and it had to do with the Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. Only the fake news could come up with that one. In the AI-generated image, Trump is depicted wearing a white robe and red sash, garments that appear in many traditional representations of Jesus.

  • La imagen de Trump como Jesús que publicó y borró en medio de su pelea con el Papa - LA NACION

    La ilustración, difundida en la plataforma Truth Social, muestra al mandatario vestido con túnicas blancas y rojas, con las manos irradiando luz mientras toca la frente de un hombre recostado en una cama con bata hospitalaria. La escena remite a las representaciones clásicas de Jesús sanando a los enfermos. Alrededor del paciente aparecen diversas figuras: personal médico, una mujer rezando y un hombre con uniforme militar, todos observando la “sanación” con atención.
