Supporters of President Donald Trump were less than pleased with the president’s AI-generated post depicting himself as Jesus Christ and didn’t hold back when speaking with MS NOW’s Alex Tabot on Tuesday in Bradenton, Florida.
“I find it appalling. It’s disgusting. You’re mocking my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I think he should put his phone down and focus on running the country,” Vinnie Richards told MS NOW.
Richards went on to call out Trump’s explanation for the post, claiming the image depicted him as a “doctor.”
“Bro, that’s not a doctor. That’s him depicting himself as Jesus Christ. That is blasphemy in its purest form,” Richards said.
Other voters who spoke with the network expressed similar outrage at the president’s post, which he deleted sometime on Monday after a myriad of backlash.
“That’s a disgrace. I’m very upset about that. I mean, how egotistical can you possibly be? I’m ashamed that he would actually do that. The man I voted for and trust,” Trump supporter John North told MS NOW.
