Government talking point

The widely circulated AI picture depicts Trump with saint-like iconography, yet he insists it was ‘me as a doctor’ and denounces accurate coverage as ‘fake news.’ The tactic seeks to discredit legitimate journalism and replace visual evidence with the leader’s say-so.

So trump spoke to reporters after removing the 'trump as Jesus' post. In the presence of a McDonalds 'doordash granny', he said he believed the image depicted him as a "doctor next to a Red Cross worker". That lying b*****d has an answer for everything.😲 https://t.co/98p3QTOdyM

After the Trump as Jesus pic caused backlash from even the MAGAts, Trump thought he could smooth things over by saying he was a Red Cross doctor. Anyone who actually believes that is as delusional as Trump! #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace Blasphemy FAFO https://t.co/9tF1htdbZ7

@conservmillen @conservmillen I like you. But come on. My 5 yr old saw this briefly and her quick response was, “that does not look like Jesus,” with a puzzled look on her face…when I didn’t say anything at all about the pic. No one is buying the “Red Cross” doctor.

Haha. He was trolling Pope Leo in response to his public criticism of President Trump over Iran. The Dr response by Trump was obviously tongue in cheek. Pretty clever actually and NO Trump does not think he’s equal to Jesus but the Pope at times tries to act like it.
