A recent "Saturday Night Live" segment targeted an AI-generated image of Donald Trump in pope attire, shared by both Trump and the White House. The segment's host, Colin Jost, humorously criticized the image, linking it to Trump's recent attendance at Pope Francis' funeral. Jost's commentary included taunts about Trump's intentions to be pope and his bizarre timing of sharing the image shortly post-funeral. The act was condemned by the New York State Catholic Conference, who found it offensive given the context of the Pope's recent passing, calling for respect.
Jost jokingly added that Trump must have walked past the open casket and thought, "Oh, we should do a 'who wore it best?'"
The New York State Catholic Conference condemned the post on X: "There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President."
