For Chrissake: Trump posts another Jesus AI pic

Attribution: APPresident Donald Trump holds a Bible as he visits outside St. John’s Church on June 1, 2020, in Washington.

If you were looking for a reason other than Tax Day to throw your phone out the window, look no further than the newly dropped AI-generated image of President Donald Trump and Jesus looking … quite intimate. 

“The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!!” Trump wrote via Truth Social Wednesday alongside the repost. 

The low-resolution image depicts the religious icon standing almost behind the president as his left arm drapes over Trump’s shoulder and his right hand rests tenderly on Trump’s chest.  

Trump is posting fresh blasphemies this morning

The president, who sports laughably defined facial features in the image, seems to be embracing the moment fully with eyes closed. 

“I was never a very religious man .. but doesn’t it seem, with all these satanic, demonic, child sacrificing monsters being exposed … that God might be playing his Trump card!” the original poster, Daniel Kelly, wrote via X. 

Kelly seemingly blasted this doctored image across the social media platform for days, spamming it in the replies of many users’ posts before it garnered attention from the so-called leader of the free world.

Kelly is a Boston Republican who first ran for Congress in 2024, but lost out in the primary.

Trump has apparently seized on Kelly’s social media spamming to distract from his other recent religious blunder.

As Daily Kos previously reported, the president posted an AI-generated image on Sunday depicting him as a Jesus-like figure healing a sick man with his touch. 

Despite claiming to be a godly man himself—even though he’s previously struggled to name any Bible verses—this struck a blasphemous chord, even among Trump’s most religious followers. 

Even political commentator Riley Gaines took a break from whining about trans athletes to condemn Trump’s post

“Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he’d post this,” Gaines wrote. “Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this?”

Gaines continued, “Either way, two things are true. 1) a little humility would serve him well, 2) God shall not be mocked.”

Trump has been flying awkwardly close to Jesus comparisons lately. Even Paula White-Cain, the president’s spiritual adviser who is known for selling “blessings,” got some flack for making a similar cringy claim..

“You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us,” she told Trump at an Easter event.

But all this is what’s to be expected from the Bible-hawking 47th president. If nothing else, backing off of the Jesus comparisons might ease the ongoing spat between the Trump administration and an unbowed Pope Leo. 

Daily Kos relies on small donations to make ends meet

Ad revenue can't support Daily Kos operations—and it hasn't been able to for more than a decade. Digital ad revenue has declined everywhere, especially for news organizations for whom it was once their lifeblood. Companies are spending less money on ads, and Amazon, Facebook and Google are gobbling up an ever-greater share of what remains. This has left almost nothing for places like Daily Kos. The only reason we've been able to survive is because of the support of readers like you. That's why we're asking: Can you take one minute right now to donate $5 or more to Daily Kos? It would mean so much to us.
