特朗普删除模仿耶稣的AI图像：自称当时以为是“医生”Trump Deletes AI Image Depicting Him as Jesus, Claiming He Saw a 'Doctor'

在面对记者的询问时，特朗普坚决否认自己有意模仿耶稣。他表示，他认为这张照片与红十字会有关，展示的是他作为一名支持该组织的医务工作者。他将舆论的负面解读归咎于媒体，称“只有‘假新闻’才能编出这种说法”。尽管他没有详细说明删除帖子的具体原因，但他强调自己对红十字会工作的支持是该帖子的初衷。

When questioned by reporters, Trump firmly denied any intention of portraying himself as a religious figure. He claimed he viewed the image as a representation of himself as a doctor or a Red Cross worker, an organization he noted his administration supports. Blaming the media for the fallout, Trump remarked, 'Only the "fake news" could come up with that one.' He did not provide a specific reason for deleting the post but maintained that his original intent was misunderstood.

尽管特朗普在过去多次通过宗教修辞巩固选民基础，但此次AI图像却触及了部分支持者的底线。一些长期支持他的保守派人士和教会领袖对这种将总统与基督等同视之的视觉呈现表示愤怒。社交媒体上的批评声浪不仅来自政敌，更来自那些通常在政治争议中站在他一边的宗教人士，他们认为这种图像跨越了政治宣传与宗教亵渎之间的界限。

While Trump has frequently used religious rhetoric to solidify his base, this AI image crossed a line for many of his supporters. Conservative figures and church leaders expressed outrage at the visual equivalence drawn between the President and Christ. The backlash on social media was notable for its source, coming from ardent Christian followers who typically support his policies but viewed this specific depiction as a violation of religious sanctity.

• 支持者指责该图像是“令人愤慨的亵渎”。
• 批评者质疑总统发布此类内容的动机，甚至怀疑其精神状态。
• 宗教领袖指出，将政治人物神化会疏远虔诚的选民。

• Supporters labeled the image as 'OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy.'
• Critics questioned the President's motivation and mental state behind the post.
• Religious leaders noted that deifying political figures risks alienating devout voters.

这张争议图像的发布背景是特朗普与教皇利奥十四世之间日益恶化的关系。在周日凌晨3点的一系列帖文中，特朗普对教皇发起了猛烈抨击，称如果不是因为他在白宫，教皇甚至“不会留在梵蒂冈”。这种极端的言论反映了双方在伊朗战争问题上的根本分歧。教皇一直对美国的军事行动持批评态度，而特朗普则试图通过展示自己的“神圣”使命感来反击教廷的道德权威。

The controversial image appeared against the backdrop of deteriorating relations between Trump and Pope Leo XIV. In a series of late-night posts at 3 a.m., Trump launched an extraordinary attack on the pontiff, suggesting the Pope 'wouldn’t be in the Vatican if I wasn’t in the White House.' This rhetoric underscores a deep divide over the U.S. war in Iran. While the Pope has criticized the conflict, Trump has sought to challenge the Vatican's moral authority by projecting his own sense of divine or providential mission.

这并非特朗普第一次利用宗教符号引发争议。早在2025年5月，他就曾发布过一张自己被描绘成天主教教皇的AI图像。此次事件再次引发了公众对于政治人物利用AI技术进行宗教和政治操弄的讨论，以及这种行为对国际外交和国内宗教情感的影响。

This is not the first time Trump has utilized religious symbolism to stir controversy; in May 2025, he shared an AI image depicting himself as a Catholic pope. The current incident has reignited debates over the use of AI technology for political and religious manipulation, as well as the broader implications such actions have on international diplomacy and domestic religious sensibilities.
