Trump says controversial AI image portrayed him as a doctor

Donald Trump has faced the wrath of some of his most high-profile and loyal Christian supporters after posting an AI-generated image of himself to Truth Social on Sunday depicting him as a Christ-like figure, with divine light emanating from his hands as he heals a stricken man in a hospital bed. The president has since deleted the post. Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► youtube.com
When asked if he posted the image himself, Trump said ‘I thought it was me as a doctor and it had to do with the Red Cross’, adding ‘only the fake news could come up with that one’ in reference to people drawing connections between himself and Jesus in the image.
