On April 11, 2026, Pope Francis, one of the most recognizable moral authorities on the planet, criticized Donald Trump’s immigration and foreign policy.
Trump’s response was not a press conference. It was not a formal statement. He went on Truth Social and shared an AI generated image of himself as Jesus Christ, crown of thorns and all. Then he attacked the Pope for being soft on crime.
The Pope, for context, is 88 years old and has spent his papacy advocating for migrants, the poor, and peaceful diplomacy. Trump called his criticism “not a very nice thing to say.” He then reminded his followers that Rome has a crime problem.
This is not the first time Trump has compared himself to Jesus. During his 2024 campaign, similar imagery circulated at rallies with his apparent approval. But posting it himself, directly in response to the Pope, is a different tier entirely.
Roughly 1.4 billion people on Earth are Catholic. The United States has 70 million of them. Many voted for Trump.
The Vatican has not responded. There is not much to say when someone responds to the Pope by posting a picture of themselves as the Son of God.
