Trump deleted the post less than 24 hours later amid fierce backlash from both sides of the US political spectrum.

He told reporters he thought it was me as a doctor and supposed to be as a doctor making people better.

The image sparked swift criticism from figures considered close to Trump and the administration.

Sean Feucht wrote, This should be deleted immediately.

Riley Gaines wrote that God shall not be mocked.

Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote, I completely denounce this and I'm praying against it.

The image was posted less than an hour after Trump published a lengthy message criticizing Pope Leo XIV.

The pope had repeatedly condemned the war in Iran.

Trump claimed Leo was only selected because of Trump's electoral victory.

The pope responded that he has no fear of the Trump administration.

The controversy extended beyond political lines into religious communities.

The New York State Catholic Conference condemned Trump's earlier pope image.

Christian author Dan McClellan noted Trump was dressed like Del Parson’s Jesus.

David Brody wrote, This goes too far. It crosses the line.

Trump defended the image as a depiction of a doctor affiliated with the Red Cross.

He insisted only the fake news could come up with that one.
