At this point Trump is pretty much the Anti-Christ.

      The Sparknotes:

      • Pope made speech saying that war was bad and we should move to diplomacy and dialogue.
      • Trump believed it was about him and started scream tweeting at him calling him a “weak on crime”.
      • Pope said “I’m not afraid of Trump.”
      • Trump posted an AI pic of him as Jesus healing someone in a hospital bed flanked by troops and an American flag and all the accoutrements.
      • This was picked up by the media, Evangelicals were horrified and called it Blasphemous, showing they don’t actually see Trump as Jesus. Everyone else memed on him.
      • Trump took it down, saying “he didn’t know anything about it” and “it was meant to show him as a Doctor”.
      • Despite him taking it down, most of the front pages of the Newspapers today here at least.

        Yeah I don’t believe this for a moment. Some of them may have acted horrified.

            Wow they literally had AI redraw it to different proportions, too, it’s not just a crop. There are different visual elements, like the building in the background in front of the flag.

            Edit: just noticed the guy in the bed also has a beard in the wider image but not in the slimmed one.

              Have you noticed the guy in bed is now Epstein? Probably why it was redrawn regenerated.

                I assumed the Epstein resemblance was accidental (well, maybe not for the unpaid intern that generated it, but for everyone else) give that that’s the version I’ve seen shared more by the MAGA crowd. Like the other person above, I had no idea there was a wider (original?) version.

                I’ve seen the jokes about the Epstein resemblance, I guess I may have just been out of the loop on the possibility that the Epstein version of the image was an intentional edit.

                I’ve seen mostly that version being shared, even by MAGA degens, so I had assumed it originated unironically from the MAGAsphere. Kinda takes part of the fun out of it, if that was not the case.
