‘He’s been crystal clear from the beginning: he believes he’s doing the work God has set before him’

President Donald Trump is sparking outrage on his own Truth Social page after posting, and later deleting, an image of himself healing a sick patient, with some claiming it’s “blasphemous” and “demonic” for what’s perceived as a comparison to Jesus.
Trump posted the image Sunday night without any personal comment, coming hours after sharply criticizing Pope Leo XIV as “weak.” It was deleted from his page by midday Monday.
The president blasted “fake news” interpretations of the image, telling White House reporters Monday afternoon: “I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. And only the fake news could come up with that one.”
