" I ’m not a Catholic but I think posting this a week after the Popes funeral is profoundly scornful & deranged . "
One week ago, President Trump attended the funeral of the late Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday.
Since then, he’s"joked"that he’s interested in becoming the next pope. “I’dlike to be pope,” Trumpsaid to reporters. “That’d be my No. 1 choice.”

Now, he’s taken it a step further. Trump recently took to Truth Social to post anow-viral AI imageof himself dressed as the pope.
To make matters worse, the image was then reposted by the officialWhite House X account,receiving over 20 million views.
In response, many have criticized Trump’s post as deeply insulting to the Catholic community.
“Quite possibly the most disrespectful post in a sea of disrespect. I’m not Catholic amd I’m sickened..” one person wrote.
Another person described it as “deeply insulting & deranged.”
“this is literally the President of the United States of America while the Vatican is still grieving the loss of Pope Francis and trying to pick his successor,” this person pointed out.
“Is this what the White House thinks is okay now?” another user questioned.
And this person summed up what many are feeling about this Trump post: “actual antichrist shit”
