A CNN panel has raised questions over why Donald Trump shared an image appearing to depict himself as Jesus, sparking widespread backlash.
The AI-generated image, posted on social media, showed Trump in a Christ-like pose, which critics described as inappropriate and offensive. Even some of his religious supporters reacted strongly, calling the post “blasphemous.”
Trump later denied the intent, saying the image was meant to portray him as a “doctor” helping people, and removed it after confusion and criticism grew.
CNN analysts suggested the post reflects broader political messaging, including attempts to project strength or symbolic leadership, while also highlighting risks of using religious imagery in politics.
The controversy comes amid tensions with religious figures and ongoing political debates, adding further scrutiny to Trump’s public communication style.
