Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, has called an AI-generated image by President Trump depicting himself as Jesus Christ on social media "alarming". This is one of many images that have been consistent with the administration, she said. The president deleted the post after receiving backlash from Christians, including conservative figures such as Marjorie Taylor Greene. Budde also commented on the president's recent rant against Pope Leo XIV, which she believes is proof that he doesn't like to be criticized by anyone and takes out criticism in personal ways.
