President Donald Trump has posted a new AI-generated image of Jesus Christ on his Truth Social account.
The new image comes three days after a similar image, in which the president seemed to be depicted as Jesus—although he claimed it depicted him as a doctor—sparked fury and outrage among Christians and conservatives.
On Wednesday morning, Trump shared another AI-generated image of Jesus, originally posted by the X account @Dkelly4congress.

"The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!!" Trump wrote with the new image when he shared it on his Truth Social account.

The caption of the image on the X account page read: "I was never a very religious man .. but doesn't it seem , with all these satanic , demonic , child sacrificing monsters being exposed ... that God might be playing his Trump card !"
The image is a picture of Jesus Christ with his arms wrapped around Trump, with an American flag flying in the background. The @dkelly4congress account responded to several other X posts with the image.
When reached for comment about the new image, a White House spokesperson referred Newsweek to the president's comments earlier in the week.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump insisted the first image was meant to depict him as a doctor rather than Jesus, dismissing suggestions otherwise as a fabrication by the "fake news."
He added: "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."
What Did Donald Trump Initially Post on Truth Social?
The first image, which was shared on Sunday night without a written comment from the president, showed Trump donning a traditional white robe and red shawl, healing a man and surrounded by four adoring people, including a nurse and a soldier. Trump later deleted the image.

How Did Trump Respond to the Backlash on the First Post?
The first post, which was shared on the same evening that Trump lashed out at Pope Leo XIV for being “weak” on crime and “terrible” on foreign policy, sparked fury among conservatives, with several former Trump supporters denouncing it and criticizing the president for posting it. Former Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene described the post as "blasphemy."
Trump dismissed claims that the first post depicted him as Jesus as "fake news."
The post comes as conservatives and former Trump supporters begin to turn on the president, including Greene, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens, among others.
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance said he thought Trump was posting a joke.
"He took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren't understanding his humor in that case," Vance told Fox News.
