AI Photo Of President Trump As Pope

Source: Truth Social / x

With parody accounts like NBA Centel and Poo Crave, it’s crucial to do double takes on tweets on verified accounts, but now you’re even forced to take a second look at the White House’s social media activity.

President Donald Trump has found a way to offend Black people, women, veterans, college kids, and next up is Catholics.

Pope Francis, 88, died last month of stroke-induced heart failure, and the conclave method of picking his successor is set to begin soon, and Trump is (unofficially) throwing his hat in the ring.

Trump took to his own little corner of the internet on Truth Social to post an AI-generated photo of himself in full papal attire. Then, the White House blasted the photo into the world by posting a screenshot of the message on the official X account, which has more than 1.5 million followers.

The shocking imagery comes days after Trump returned from Pope’s funeral at the Vatican in Rome, and told reporters that he’s next in line. 

“I’d like to be Pope. That would be my number one choice,” he joked before saying he had “no preference” who should head the Vatican next, but appeared to suggest that New York’s Cardinal Tim Dolan would be “very good.” 

According to Reuters, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni declined to comment on the image during a briefing with journalists earlier today. 

Artificial Intelligence has been used against Trump before, too. The most notable came via a roasting of his bromance with Elon Musk when a fake video of the president sucking on the Tesla founder’s toes was broadcasted onto TVs at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development building in D.C.

However, with the Pope photo, some have found it offensive, while others laughed it off.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
