Donald Trump published on Friday, May 2 in his social network, a portrait of him probably generated by artificial intelligence that shows him dressed in papal outfit, after having said that he would like to be Pope “a few days before the conclave to the Vatican that will eliminate the successor of François.
The photo of the photo in the truth in Truth Social shows that the president of the United States laid the solemn air in an armchair, the closed face, dressed in the white semi -circumstance of the pope, with the groin, wearing the imposing gold cross around the neck, the left hand placed in its thigh and the right index elevated to the sky.
The photo, visibly generated by AI according to the American media that republiced it in its corporate accounts, is not accompanied by any comments from the Republican billionaire.
Since his return to the White House on January 20, Donald Trump has saturated the space of US and world media with ads and comments on all the issues. He had joked earlier this week about the election of the next head of the 1.4 billion Catholics, a religious minority in the United States.
“I would like to be a Pope. It would be my number one choice,” he said, questioned by journalists about his preferences about the successor of François, who died Easter on Monday at the age of 88.
The day before his death, the Pope had briefly received, on Easter Sunday, the American vice president JD Vance, a converted and very conservative Catholic.
François criticized Donald Trump’s migration policy
Two months before, François had issued strong criticism against the policy of expulsion of immigrants by the Trump administration.
He had warned against a “great crisis” that “starts badly and will end badly.” About 20% of Americans declare themselves Catholics and the polls of the polls had indicated in November that they had voted around 60% in favor of Donald Trump.
Part of this Catholic electorate, especially from Latin America, expresses the hope that a more conservative pope will happen to François considered a progressive in social matters.
As of May 7, 133 Cardinals around the world, over 80 years of age and, therefore, authorized to choose the Pope, will meet for a conclave in the Vatican behind closed doors to choose a successor in François.
