Trump And The Devil
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.
biggerYesterday Trump himself posted a similar picture on his Truth Social account. It was reproduced on X/Twitter.
biggerSome mend_alyn noted a slight difference between both pictures:

> Trump’s Truth Social post added the horned figure (at the top) to an already disgusting picture @NickAdamsinUSA shared in February. <
Indeed. Here is a cut from the top of the picture posted in February:
biggerAnd a similar cut from the picture posted two months later by Trump:
biggerThe man in the middle has been transformed into something like a ‘horned’ angel. He seems to wear a Statue of Liberty look-alike crown.
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.

I am a bit confused about you now. US hegemony is by definition something very negative for me. I am not sure about your opinion about it.
Why? I have not stated anything in support of US hegemony. All I have done is answering your statements which frankly gave me the impression that you consider US hegemony a legitimate thing. For the record, US hegemony is not legitimate.
It struck me that you might see ‘hegemony’ as something less harmful. Like ‘US interests’ or something.
Frankly, that is insulting.
So let me be clear.I assume that US hegemony is something that needs to go away completely. And in its place ought to come a multipolar world with international law that is being consistently up held. The Rogue empires eras hopefully gone for ever.
Good, so we agree then.
So I dont come across as someone who defends anything that I describe. But returning to what started this interchange. I suggest that Irans role now is important for Chinas access to oil. The US using Ukraine, has destroyed 40% of Russias alternatives and maybe more losses are coming.
How your statements are perceived is up to others. But I accept the assertion that US hegemony needs to go away.
Sure. Iran’s oil is important to China. But that is something completely different than whether US hegemony is legitimate. Regardless, I don’t think the US will be able to curtail China in Asia.
Israel as understood by you is not a proxy but a blackmailer who is able to force a powerful empire against its own interests as they are described by alt media celebrities.
Leave it to me to explain how I understand Israel. The fact that it executes blackmail in one situation does not explain 100% of its behaviour. It can also serve as a proxy.
I consider Israel as a firm supporter of that evil empire, that wants it to prevail and is trying to work it in that direction.
Israel is an unsinkable aircraft carrier that has become a parasite. It is a parasite that relies on constant blood transfusion (money and weapons) from the US, without it it is nothing. Its current captain of 40 years has managed to send his tentacles to the home base and is able to give it direct instructions.
In my view the multipolar world will not allow Israel to keep even the extension of Israel in 1967 unless the surrounding parts of the ME without being under any ilegitimate pressure have agreed to it.
“the multipolar world” is not concrete enough to give instructions. But I can reformulate the same sentiment to say the often heard assertion “Israel has the right to exist” is now false, because of systematic genocide of part of its own population. The only conclusion is a single state called Palestine.
I dont see how a multipolar world could tolerate zionism in any variant. So what some here call jewish nationalism and others call Zionist revisionism would have to be completely forbidden. Such a process resemples the denazification of Ukraine.
I can agree with that. Jews can live in Palestine, but Zionism cannot be tolerated any more than Nazism in Europe (yes I know Nazism is tolerated…but it should not be).
So the only hope for the type of people who represent current Israel is if the US prevails as a rogue empire. A pirate empire.
True. That is why the blackmailing is going on.

I didn’t read all the comments, so apologies if I’m not quoting what someone wrote before!
Link below shows the two pictures side by side.
It is AI slop so it is hard to analyse, we do not know what the original intention was, how the person giving the commands imagined the thing, what AI used as models, etc. Anyways just looking at the surface depiction:
Image 1. I agree w. b, one can only say a ‘healing saint.’ The original intent may have been ‘Jesus’ as the main figure, who knows. The public perception has concentrated on seeing the figure as playing the role of Jesus, or pretending to be Jesus, etc. Therefore: “a parody”, “blasphemy”, etc.
The first oddity is that the Figure (DT / Jesus) heals with one hand and is bringing the light with the other. This is weird, the two do not belong together, the icononography of Jesus healing concentrates on two hands, face and eyes and postural attitude of Jesus being ‘there’ for the ‘patient’, as one would expect. (Note that Charlie Kirk was sitting in the position of the ‘bringer of the light’ when he was killed.)
The general lighting is strange, it comes from the sky (traditional) but also from the head of the patient! The patient ain’t saintly, he is a poor shmuck desperate for a fantastical cure.
Around DT/Jesus, we see 4 ppl, a praying woman who is not wearing trad clothes, a nurse, two men wearing caps, one looks military type. All look up to him, adore him.
The background shows symbols of US power and military might. The Capitol, the Statue of Liberty, soaring and hawkish eagles, fireworks, fighter planes, the in-yr-face US flag, and above DT, 5 military garbed men – more hinted at in the background.
Overall, DT is pictured as saintly figure who is adored and helps ppl, plus, is backed up by murderous might, tremendous force, particularly from the air, etc., which is actually v. close to what he tries to project! That is probably the reason he re-posted the thing.
Image 2. The military guys over DT’s head have been changed. The central one now has a 3-pronged crown (like the statue of liberty from some angles) or head and what can be seen as two wings / arms (like the statue of liberty, once again) / whatever raised up to the sky. The general impression is of a menacing, devilish figure.
Someone here mentioned Baphomet, and B. has 3 horns, one central, one on each side, but not of that shape.
The change is sorta-clumsy, or was made to look like that. Whoor why did it we will never know.
It is interesting that Furore against Trump seems to proceed via *Money* (shorting the markets, Board of Peace, other), *Sex* (Epstein etc.) and *Other* (outrage at horrid cartoonish pix like here) and not, say, the future of children of the world, the genocide in Gaza, the bombing of Somalia, etc.
Of course the turning away (from DT) of Catholics in the US is important, not addressed.
