President Donald Trump has for some time been in a public dispute with Pope Leo of the Catholic church.
Within the context of the quarrel Trump posted a picture of himself depicted as saint healer overseen by a devil.
And no – this isn’t a late April’s fool joke …
On February 4 2026, the X/Twitter account NickAdamsinUSA posted this AI slop picture of Trump as a saint healer.

Indeed. Here is a cut from the top of the picture posted in February:

One wonders who initiated that transformation. When and for what purpose?
Context:
Pope Leo XIV had recently spoken out against the wars waged by President Donald Trump.
On Apr 12 at 21:03 ET President Donald Trump posted a rant against Pope Leo:
Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise….
Forty-three minutes after his rant Trump posted the above picture which portrays him as a saint with a horned/crowned angel/devil above him.
How will the evangelical followers of Trump interpret this?
Who construed and directed this drama?
Please think about and answer the questions.

The President of Iran condemned Trump’s insults of the Pope:
Masoud Pezeshkian @drpezeshkian – 13:19 utc · Apr 13, 2026
His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.
