...... Backlash.

Trump deleted Truth Social post depicting himself as Christ-like figure after widespread backlash.

Backlash came from across political spectrum, including conservative supporters calling it blasphemous.

AI-generated image showed Trump healing sick person while doctors and military watched.

Post followed Trump's criticism of Pope Leo as weak over Iran war opposition.

Then why is djt dressed in a Jesus robe ? And what is that intensely glowing item in his left hand ? His magic glowing surgeons scalpel made of iridium, kryptonite, and obsidiam ? Does his scalpel use standard "D" batteries or does he need lithium batteries to achieve such a bright and intense glow.

he has another electric socket in his left hand -- at the ready to save someone else. Clearly a God of some sort.

He deserves to have a ballroom built to honor him. Plus, he deserves a triumphal arch in his name -- something that miniaturizes the Lincoln Memorial and blocks the view from the Arlington Cemetery.

Geesh, why won't people get with the grift???

The GOPee finds pedophilia and child molestation A-Okay and not worthy of investigation or taking oversite actions against djt.

Where as blasphemy against Jesus their Lord and Savior - is worthy their attentions, comments, and response. Here they march right up to the podium to immediately express their utter dismay and seek to clearly disparage djt.

Exploited children on the other hand,.. only the sound of distant crickets can be heard, but nothing forthcoming from the GOPee only dead silence.

He's not literally Jesus — he's a seriously mentally ill cult leader.

But it also could have been one of these "patriotic" artists:

Jon McNaughton is frequently cited as the artist who portrays Donald Trump in the most favorable and heroic light. Known as a "relentlessly pro-Trump artist," McNaughton has created numerous paintings depicting the former president as a strong leader, often surrounded by symbolic elements of American patriotism.
YouTube

Key details regarding artists who portray Trump favorably:
Jon McNaughton: His artwork often places Trump in a heroic or messianic context. Examples include paintings where Trump is depicted as the conductor of a MAGA orchestra or as a visionary leader. McNaughton has stated his paintings reflect his personal feelings as a citizen and are not government-hired propaganda.

Scott LoBaido: A Staten Island-based artist who has created multiple tributes to Trump, including live-painting portraits at rallies. He is known for patriotic art and has referred to Trump as the "greatest president".

Other Artists: Various other artists have produced pro-Trump imagery, including:

Vanessa Horabuena: Known for a painting of Trump that includes a cross in the background.

Ralph Wolfe Cowan: Known for creating stylized, positive portraits of public figures, including "Donald Trump (The Visionary)" in 1989.

Ben Garrison: A political cartoonist who has produced numerous supportive, stylized illustrations of Donald Trump.
WashU

These artists tend to focus on themes of strength, patriotism, and leadership, presenting a stark contrast to satirical or critical political art.

that everyone comes to advice for, that everyone looks up to, that everyone does everything in his image/name/etc. tRUMP would love nothing else less.

And the sad fact of the matter is, he isn't. No matter how much he coats himself w/ glory, coats himself w/ the mantle of the office of the Presidency, he's failing miserably.

No one is surprised that trump took down the image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure

After facing a wave of backlash from critics and supporters alike, President Donald Trump appeared to have deleted a social media post that featured an image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure — prompting ridicule from onlookers.

After facing a wave of backlash from critics and supporters alike, President Donald Trump appeared to have deleted a social media post that featured an image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure — prompting ridicule from onlookers.

“Thou shalt always TACO… Trump 3:16,” quipped Tommy Christopher, writer and editor for Mediaite and former White House reporter, in a social media post on X to his more than 25,000 followers.....

Later on Monday morning, however, Trump – or his staffers – appeared to have deleted the social media post, prompting some to take further digs at the president, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“Now delete your presidency,” Newsom wrote in a social media post on X to his nearly 3 million followers.
