Trump attended Pope Francis’ funeral last weekend, during which time he met with the Voldymir Zelenki school in Ukraine.
On Tuesday, days after returning from Francis’ funeral, Trump joked to a reporter outside the White House, saying, “I want to be the Pope,” adding, “that’s probably my number one choice.”
He continued saying he “doesn’t like it” over the ultimate chosen one.
Vice President J.D. Vice President J.D. Vice President, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, met with the Roman Catholic Pope a day before his death.
According to death certificates issued by the Vatican, Francis ultimately died of a stroke that led to irreversible heart failure.
Posting images generated by AI has sparked a widespread social media response, with some users defending it as a joke and others denounce the images strongly.
The New York State Catholic Conference, representing the state’s bishops, denounced the Post strongly.
“There’s nothing smart or interesting about this image,” he said in a post by X.
“We have just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the Cardinals are about to enter a strict conclave to elect a new successor to St. Peter,” the group said.
“Don’t laugh at us.”
Michael Steele, a candid Trump critic and former Republican National Committee chairman, criticised the post, saying he “supposes how unpleasant and impossible (Trump) is not possible.”
Conservative commentator Bill Christol, a harsh Trump critic, asked Vance in a post on X, “Hey, @jdvance, you’re fine with this rudeness and ock ha ha.”
Vance returned to Christol with X’s reply. This referenced Christol, a supporter of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.
“The general rule is that I’m kidding and not going well with people who start a stupid war that kills thousands of compatriots,” wrote Vance, who served as a US Marine in Iraq.
White House spokesman Caroline Levitt asked to respond to criticism about the image, saying “President Trump “flew to Italy to attend a funeral in honor of Pope Francis,” according to the Associated Press, he is a solid champion of Catholic and religious freedom.”
This is not the first time the White House has shared a controversial AI-generated image of Trump.
In February, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budwich posted an image of Trump portrayed as king after the administration moved to eliminate New York City’s congestion pricing program.
Trump called himself King and himself in a true social post touting “traffic pricing is dead.”
“Everyone in Manhattan and New York is saved. Live a King for a long time,” Trump wrote in Truth Society in February.
