美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周三分享了另一张可能由人工智能生成的图像，这次描绘的是他在一面美国国旗前被耶稣拥抱。
“激进的左派疯子可能不喜欢这样，但我认为这样挺好的!!!，”特朗普在他的社交媒体平台上写道。
总统的帖子包括另一名用户帖子的截图，其中包含耶稣搂着特朗普肩膀的图像。
此前，特朗普整晚都在批评教皇利奥十四世，并在网上分享了似乎是为他现在已被删除的社交媒体帖子辩护的内容，该帖子将他描绘成耶稣基督——特朗普的这一描述周一被拒。
有一次，特朗普分享了一篇来自X上的用户显示了教皇当选教皇之前属于教皇的X帐户的旧帖子，当时他是罗伯特·普雷沃斯特，包括一些批评特朗普和副总统JD万斯的帖子。
“在一个人成为教皇之前，看看社交媒体揭示了他的什么，这很有趣，”分享的帖子写道。“在成为教皇利奥十四世之前，红衣主教罗伯特·普雷沃斯特在推特上诋毁特朗普，批评万斯，呼吁开放边境，推广冠状病毒肺炎疫苗，支持更严格的枪支管制，并在乔治·弗洛伊德之后发推文。”
“不好!!!"特朗普在自己的帖子中写道。
万斯星期二也谈到了教皇，他在佐治亚州雅典举行的青年保守派会议上说，教皇应该“在谈论神学问题时小心谨慎”
“如果你要对神学问题发表意见，你必须小心，你必须确保它植根于真理，这是我试图做的事情之一，也是我对神职人员的期望，”万斯在2019年皈依天主教，他在活动中说。
美国天主教主教会议周三公开反对万斯的评论。
当教皇利奥十四世作为普世教会的最高牧师讲话时，他不仅仅是提供神学方面的意见，他还是在宣扬福音和行使他作为基督教区牧师的职责。詹姆斯·马萨主教，主席关于这会议的委员会在一份声明中说。
万斯的批评接踵而至一个来回本周早些时候，总统和美国第一任教皇举行了会谈，教皇呼吁结束战争，包括美国和以色列与伊朗的战争。
“受够了战争，”利奥周六在梵蒂冈圣彼得大教堂的和平守夜活动中说。
特朗普周日形容教皇“在犯罪问题上软弱，在外交政策上糟糕透顶。”
教皇周一回应说，他“不害怕”特朗普政府。“这就是我所相信的，”利奥补充道。"我被召唤去做教会被召唤去做的事情。"
当教皇的旧社交媒体账户浮出水面时，在他于2025年5月当选教皇后不久，白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特(Karoline Leavitt)对此不屑一顾，他说:“总统对教皇利奥昨天的声明做出了非常明确的反应。他为有一位美国教皇感到非常自豪。”
自从开始担任教皇以来，利奥一直是全球和平的强有力的使者。
他一再呼吁有关各方参与谈判，包括谚语3月1日，他“衷心呼吁有关各方承担起道德责任，在暴力升级成为不可逾越的鸿沟之前，阻止暴力升级。”他说过“上帝不会保佑任何冲突。”
特朗普周二在社交媒体上发文称，教皇需要被告知伊朗已经杀害了成千上万的抗议者，伊朗发展核武器是“绝对不可接受的”。
特朗普写道:“请有人告诉教皇利奥，伊朗在过去两个月里杀害了至少42，000名无辜的、完全手无寸铁的抗议者，伊朗拥有核弹是绝对不可接受的。”
特朗普周日发布的人工智能生成的图像把他描绘成一个穿着红白长袍，双手发光的耶稣形象。周一，在一片批评声中，总统撤销了这一职务。
特朗普周一否认被删除的帖子与耶稣有任何联系实际上，他应该是一名医生。
“我确实发了帖子，我认为这是我作为一名医生，与红十字会有关——作为一名红十字会工作人员，我们对此表示支持。只有假新闻才能想出这个，”他说。
副总统万斯声称，特朗普发布这张照片是在开玩笑。
万斯在接受采访时说，“我认为总统在发一个笑话，当然，他把它撤了下来，因为他意识到很多人不理解他在那种情况下的幽默。”关于福克斯新闻频道的“布雷特·拜尔特别报道”
Trump shares image of Jesus embracing him, continues to lash out at Pope Leo
President Donald Trump on Wednesday shared another possibly AI-generated image, this time depicting him being embraced by Jesus in front of an American flag.
"The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!!," Trump wrote on his social media platform.
The president's post included a screenshot of another user's post, which contained the image of Jesus with his arm around Trump's shoulder.
The post comes after Trump continued to criticize Pope Leo XIV overnight and shared online what appeared to be defenses of his now-deleted social media post that depicted him as Jesus Christ -- a characterization that Trumprejected on Monday.
In one instance, Trump shared a post froma user on Xshowing old posts from an X account that belonged to the pope prior to his papal election, when he was Robert Prevost -- including some criticizing Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
"It's fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope," the shared post read. "Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd."
"Not good!!!" Trump wrote in his own post.
Vance on Tuesday also spoke about the pope, saying at conference of young conservatives in Athens, Georgia, that the pontiff should "be careful when he talks about matters of theology."
"If you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to be sure it's anchored in the truth and that's one of the things that I try to do and that's certainly something I would expect from the clergy," Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, said at the event.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on Wednesday spoke out against Vance's comments.
"When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ,"Bishop James Massa, the chairoftheconference’s Committee on Doctrine, said in a statement.
Vance's criticism followeda back-and-forthearlier this week between the president and the first American pope, who has called for an end to wars, including the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
"Enough of war," Leo said on Saturday during a peace vigil in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
Trump on Sunday described the pope as "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy."
The pontiff on Monday responded, saying he had "no fear" of the Trump administration. "That's what I believe in," Leo added. "I am called to do what the church is called to do."
When the pope's old social media account surfaced, shortly after he was elected pope in May 2025, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed it off, saying, "The president made his reaction to Pope Leo's announcement yesterday very clear. He is very proud to have an American pope."
Leo has been a strong messenger for global peace since the start of his papacy.
He has repeatedly called for the parties involved to engage in negotiations, includingsayingon March 1 that he was making "a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm." He has said that "God does not bless any conflict."
Trump said in a social media post on Tuesday that the popeneeded to be informed that Iran had killed tens of thousands of protesters, and that it was "absolutely unacceptable" for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
"Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable," Trump wrote.
The AI-generated image posted by Trump on Sundaydepicted him as a Jesus-like figure in red-and-white robes with light coming out of his hands. The president removed that post on Monday amid criticism.
Trump on Monday denied that the deleted post had any connection to Jesusat all, and was, in fact, supposed to be him as a doctor.
"I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross -- as a Red Cross worker, which we support. And only the fake news could come up with that one," he said.
Vice President Vance claimed Trump was joking when he posted the image.
"I think the president was posting a joke and, of course, he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor in that case," Vance said in an interviewon Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier."
