President Donald Trump has deleted a social media post showing himself as Jesus from his Truth Social account, but refuses to apologize for the post, despite ongoing tensions with Pope Leo XIV. The president stated that he thought the image was meant to portray him as a doctor and had to do with the Red Cross. However, when pressed on whether he also disavowed a separate post in which he called the pope "WEAK on Crime" and accused him of "catering to the Radical Left", Trump stood his ground and said he wouldn't apologize.
