Washington, United States – Web Desk: U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a clarification following controversy over an artificial intelligence-generated image shared on social media, which drew widespread criticism and was later deleted.
According to Trump, the image—depicting him in a religious or Christ-like appearance—was not intended to convey that message. He said it was meant to portray him in a medical or healing role, but was widely misinterpreted.
The AI-generated image quickly went viral, sparking intense debate across social media platforms. Critics called the post inappropriate, arguing that it crossed ethical and political boundaries.
Following the backlash, the post was removed. In the original message, Trump had also claimed that he “heals people,” a statement that further fueled public discussion and criticism.
The incident highlights growing global concerns over the use of artificial intelligence in political communication and the potential for highly sensitive or misleading visual content to go viral.
