"Some of his supporters have compared him directly to Jesus. While the son of God didn't eat Big Macs on a private jet and encourage his followers to buy AI stocks, there are similarities between the two figures."
"God does not bless any conflict, the pope wrote on X on Friday. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who drop bombs."
"On Sunday, Trump, who identifies as a nondenominational Christian, attacked the pope on Truth Social, calling him WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy."
"Hannity then wondered out loud whether the pope had even read the Bible. If I were the pope, I would not be turning the other cheek to all this."
Donald Trump has been compared to Jesus by some supporters, portraying himself as a modern messiah. While he lacks traditional miracle-working abilities, he has profited from public office. Pope Leo XIV condemned war, suggesting that true disciples of Christ should not support violence. Trump's response included attacking the pope on social media and sharing an AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-like figure. Sean Hannity, a supporter, expressed disdain for the pope, questioning his biblical knowledge, while the pope maintained a dignified stance amidst the controversy.
