@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump I only got through the first sentence of your statement

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

@jake__traylor Tool and opportunist

Turning Point USA seems to have misestimated crowd size for Vance. Akins Ford Arena less than 25% filled for the vice president.

Photo challenge: Reflection

@RapidResponse47 @PressSec Will be torn down as soon as Trump is out. To include your own name in it is just stupid and a waste, when you're such a divisive person.

.@PressSec: "Long after everyone in this room is gone, our children and our grandchildren will remain inspired by this national monument." 🇺🇸

@DGoweyAuthor It looks exactly like one of his paintings. Not sure he would like this one though

If I were Jon McNaughton and saw this I'd seriously kms

@RepMcGovern He might actually have thought it was a real painting, he’s that delusional. This is the exact art style that Jon McNaughton has used for years. Completely looks like one if his painting, although I’m sure he would not approve of this AI version either.

I am repulsed by this photo. Does Trump now think he is Jesus? First he attacks and insults Pope Leo, now he depicts himself as Christ and tries to mock God. This is outrageous, offensive, and profane. Clearly he is not well. As an American, a Catholic, a human—I am disgusted.

@skeeva Which means UploadVR reviews are just as accurate as IGN reviews

WRATH Aeon of Ruin VR Brutal Edition holding at an almost perfect review score! This is one of the best #VR games out there! A MUST PLAY!! store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/…

@conservmillen Lol

I do believe that he didn’t think of this as a depiction of Jesus when posting. Still, there has to be more care and discernment here.

@Red_Pill_US To be fair, he might have thought himself it was a genuine painting (the ethics-void person he is). The painting is exactly in Jon McNaughton's art and thematic style, who has been making these types of paintings of him for years, x.com/mcnaughtonpaint

TRUMP JUST TRIED THE WEAKEST WALK-BACK EVER ON THAT WEIRD AI IMAGE OF HIM IN RED ROBES PLAYING HEALER. He’s now claiming he was just “depicting himself as a doctor” — not Jesus. Cool story. But that doesn’t explain why they edited the soldier out and replaced him with a three-horned demonic creature with wings. Why make that swap? They’re showing you exactly who they serve.

@JoJoFromJerz DT knows his supporter are stupid.

Donald Trump thinks his supporters are stupid.

@RightSideR3bel Because his ethics are so non-existent, he never had any thought to why this would offend anybody.

I voted for Trump. But this is absolutely disgusting. I’m actually lost on this. Why would our president post this.

@TheProjectUnity For a moment I thought it was a real painting by Jon McNaughton. The AI must have used his style as basis for this picture. He is well-known for making Christian nationalist propaganda art that often involves Trump as some sort of saviour of USA. x.com/mcnaughtonpaint

Trump deleted his Jesus post 😂

@NASA @Chasten How do they get rid of sharks if they’re there?

@Chasten Yes — the recovery teams monitor the area so the only thing greeting the crew is the welcome party.

Watching the Artemis splashdown and just out of curiosity is it anyone’s job to make sure there are no sharks?

@MylesDyer @Wrath_VR They went from the game = “greatness” to that score due to “its design”. Yet they in their review they write that the level design is “quite strong”.😳

UploadVR updated their review score of @Wrath_VR from 3/5 to 3.5/5 "to better reflect the text". I'm now hoping they update their review to better reflect the game. 😉

@NASA @NASAArtemis So it was just a movie?🎥

@GamewithDave My three takes: Clair Obscure, Skyrim, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Planescape: Torment. I think those are the only four games where I stay on the opening screen just to hear the whole music track

What game is this?

@timburchett @realDonaldTrump You’re not serious

The Negotiator In Chief @realDonaldTrump

@anneapplebaum Can't Congress just use this video to enact the 25th Amendment? Seems like case closed

Denmark prepared for a war with the US and nobody has forgotten

@NightSkyToday None of the elite leaders present today

If aliens visit us, who should be in charge of speaking on behalf of humanity?

@PressSec Troll account

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days. More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine! The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace. Additionally, President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened. Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.
