President Trump shot back at critics of his viral AI-generated pope image, saying real Catholics aren’t angry—only the “fake news media.” The picture showed Trump in papal robes during mourning for Pope Francis. Left-wing outlets blasted it as disrespectful. But Trump says his supporters loved it.
The White House shared the AI-created image last week. It spread quickly online. Some Catholic leaders called it offensive. Italian newspapers complained it mocked their traditions. But Trump says average churchgoers thought it was fun. His wife even called it “cute.”
Fake news networks claimed Catholics were furious. They quoted bishops and Vatican experts. But Trump supporters pushed back hard. They asked: Why focus on a joke when real issues matter? Working Americans care about jobs, not made-up outrage.
The president stood by his post during a fiery press conference. He said media elites hate seeing him connect with regular people. “They twist everything,” Trump declared. He praised Catholics as patriots who support his America First agenda.
This happened days before cardinals meet to pick a new pope. Critics say the timing was rude. But Trump fans argue free speech matters most. They’re tired of leftists dictating what’s “appropriate.” Since when do Americans apologize for humor?
Mainstream media ignored how many Catholics shared the meme. They focused on angry tweets from blue-check liberals. Typical elitist bias! Real Americans know Trump fights for their values daily. This phony scandal won’t distract them.
Hardworking families laughed at the image. They’re sick of politicians acting holier-than-thou. Trump’s bold style exposes hypocrites in the press. While media cry about memes, he’s securing borders and cutting taxes. Priorities matter.
The backlash proves Trump’s point about fake news. Instead of reporting facts, they attack his jokes. But patriots see through the smears. They’ll keep standing with a leader who puts America first—no matter what the bullies say.
