Trump criticised after posting AI image of himself as Pope8 hours ago Share Save Max Matza BBC News Share SaveX/White HouseUS President Donald Trump has attracted criticism from some Catholics after posting an AI-generated image of himself as the Pope. The New York State Catholic Conference accused Trump of mocking the faith. The image posted by Trump on Friday night features him wearing a white cassock and pointed mitre, traditionally worn by a bishop. The New York State Catholic Conference, which represents bishops in New York, took to X to criticise the picture. "There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr President," the group wrote.
