The AI image posted by President Trump on his Truth Social platform depicting himself as Jesus Christ appears to have been removed from his account. The link where the image previously was posted on Sunday, which was Orthodox Easter, now reads “This resource could not be found” on Monday afternoon. The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.

The image, which showed Trump portrayed as Jesus Christ healing sick people, sparked backlash from some of his own conservative supporters. The image also included Trump appearing in religious garb with his hand on a sick man’s head surrounded by his followers, an American flag, eagles and the Statue of Liberty, along with other figures in the sky.

The now-deleted Truth Social post came shortly after Trump posted a lengthy and extremely rare admonishing of Pope Leo XIV, who has expressed opposition to the Iran war without specifically naming Trump. In the hours before the post was taken down Monday morning, a number of some of Trump’s most vocal allies from the conservative Christian community called on him to remove the post.

“Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he’d post this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this?” conservative political activist Riley Gaines wrote on X early Monday, “Either way, two things are true,” she wrote. “1) a little humility would serve him well 2) God shall not be mocked.”
