A social media post by former U.S. President Donald Trump that appeared to depict him as Jesus Christ was removed from his Truth Social platform. The image, which circulated online in early April 2026, showed Trump with a glowing light and a crown of thorns, drawing immediate criticism and mockery.
When asked about the post on Monday, April 13, 2026, Trump stated, "I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker, which we support." The post was subsequently deleted from his account. The incident sparked widespread discussion online about the use of religious imagery in political messaging.
Fact-checking confirms the post's existence and removal, as reported by multiple news outlets including Reuters and The Associated Press. The image was widely shared and commented on across various social media platforms before its deletion.
