Donald Trump encroached on the sacred status of the Vatican and almost made the main mistake of his life. Trump Removes Post Offensive to Christians The President of the United States deleted from social media an AI-generated image in which he appeared in the image of Jesus Christ, resurrecting a man resembling Epstein. Pope Leo XIV had days earlier called on Trump to abandon the "logic of war” and the "illusion of omnipotence,” referring to the war unleashed in the Middle East. This accusation of pride was perceived by Trump as direct criticism of US policy toward Iran. The US president responded on social media that he "does not want” the Pope, calling him "weak” and "terrible.” He accused the pontiff of not understanding issues of national security and nuclear deterrence and of "not doing his job very well.”
