华盛顿讯——总统特朗普周日晚间在Truth Social平台发布的一张AI生成图像引发了强烈反对,就连他的一些最直言不讳的支持者也对此表示不满。这张图像将他描绘成耶稣基督的形象。
这张图像是右翼网红尼克·亚当斯数月前发布的一张照片的稍加修改版本,图中总统身着白色长袍和红色饰带,一手握着光球,另一手做出疗愈姿态。
总统发布该帖的当天正值东正教复活节,就在美国及全球各地基督徒庆祝基督复活的复活节后整整一周。

截至周一上午,总统既未就这张图像道歉,也未将其删除。白宫未立即回应置评请求。
“为什么?说真的,我无法理解他为什么要发布这个,”保守派活动家莱利·盖恩斯回应道,她此前一直代表本届政府就女子体育中的跨性别运动员议题发声。“他是在寻求回应吗?他真的这么想吗?无论哪种情况,有两点是确凿的:1)稍微谦逊一点对他大有裨益;2)上帝不会被嘲弄。”
“白宫犯下的亵渎行为不是什么好笑的网络恶搞,”保守派媒体人士卡姆·希格比在X平台上发帖称。
“我猜已经有人提醒过他了,但无论出于何种意图,从精神和政治层面来说,总统都应该删除这张照片,”保守派作家兼播客主持人迈克尔·诺尔斯写道。
“这既不当又令人难堪,还具有冒犯性,”福克斯新闻撰稿人、乔治·W·布什政府前白宫新闻秘书阿里·弗莱舍写道。
前共和党众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林在卸任后对总统的批评日益加剧,她在X平台上发帖称:“在东正教复活节这天,特朗普总统先是攻击教皇,因为教皇有理有据地反对特朗普的伊朗战争,随后又发布这张将自己塑造成耶稣替身的照片。就在上周,他还在复活节发帖发表邪恶的长篇大论,威胁要消灭一整个文明。我彻底谴责这种行为,我正在为此祈祷!”

总统发布该帖前不久,他刚刚发了另一篇帖子猛烈抨击教皇利奥十四世,后者此前曾批评美国在伊朗的军事行动。
“我不会回避宣扬福音的信息,”教皇在回应中说道,“我呼吁所有人寻求搭建和平与和解桥梁的方式,寻求一切可能避免战争的途径。”
亚当斯最初发布特朗普的这张图像时,配文写道:“美国病了很久了。特朗普总统正在治愈这个国家。”特朗普于3月任命亚当斯担任美国旅游、例外主义和价值观问题总统特别特使。

Trump faces backlash after posting AI image appearing to depict him like Jesus

Washington — President Trump’s Sunday night Truth Social post of an AI-generated image appearing to depict him in the likeness of Jesus Christ sparked intense backlash, even from some of his most vocal supporters.
The image, a slightly altered version of one posted months ago by right-wing influencer Nick Adams, shows the president in a white robe and red sash with a ball of light in one hand and the other hand extended in healing.
The president’s post came on Orthodox Easter, exactly one week after other Christians in the U.S. and around the world celebrated Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday.

As of Monday morning, the president has not apologized the image, nor has he taken it down. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he’d post this,” responded Riley Gaines, the conservative activist who has been the administration’s voice on the topic of transgender athletes in women’s sports. “Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this? Either way, two things are true. 1) a little humility would serve him well 2) God shall not be mocked.”
“Blasphemy from the Oval Office is not a funny troll,” conservative media figure Cam Higby posted to X.
“I assume someone has already told him, but it behooves the president both spiritually and politically to delete the picture, no matter the intent,” wrote conservative author and podcaster Michael Knowles.
“It’s inappropriate and embarrassing. It’s offensive,” wrote Ari Fleischer, a Fox News contributor and former White House press secretary in the George W. Bush administration.
Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has become increasingly critical of the president after leaving office, wrote on X: “On Orthodox Easter, President Trump attacked the Pope because the Pope is rightly against Trump’s war in Iran and then he posted this picture of himself as if he is replacing Jesus. This comes after last week’s post of his evil tirade on Easter and then threatening to kill an entire civilization. I completely denounce this and I’m praying against it!!!”
Conservative Christian commentator Allie Beth Stuckey simply posted a meme in response:

The president’s post came shortly another post in which he lashed out against Pope Leo XIV, who has been critical of the United States’ war efforts in Iran.
“I will not shy away from announcing the message of the Gospel,” the pope said in response. “Of inviting all people to look for ways of building bridges for peace and reconciliation, of looking for ways to avoid war anytime that’s possible.”
When Adams initially posted the image of Mr. Trump, he wrote: “America has been sick for a long time. President Trump is healing this nation.” Mr. Trump in March selected Adams to serve as special presidential envoy for American tourism, exceptionalism and values.
