NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: American musician and record producer, Jack White, teared into President Donald Trump for sharing an AI-generated image depicting himself as a Jesus Christ-like figure. Trump posted the image hours after he attacked Pope Leo XIV on Truth Social, calling the pontiff “weak” on handling crimes and “terrible” on foreign policy.

The President eventually deleted the post following a major backlash on social media and told reporters he thought the image depicted “me as a doctor.” However, White, who was born to a Catholic mother and served as a former altar boy, made sure to call out his actions.



Jack White calls Trump a ‘deranged grifter’ and accuses him of ‘blasphemy’

The White Stripes vocalist took to Instagram to condemn the President’s move. “Hey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he’d present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem? Well… check out your boy now!” he wrote in a post. 

“Listen, if the felonies, epstein files, r***s, bombing of schoolchildren, gestapo ICE agents attacking his own citizens, threatening to invade Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran all didn’t convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil’ post will?” White added. 

“How can any so called Christian support him after this blasphemy? How could any Catholic support him after he attacks the character of their Pope multiple times? How did so many millions of people fall for this conman?” he further asked. 

“He’s already got worst President in the history of America on lock, but I’m gonna go ahead and take the honor of pronouncing trump ‘Worst American of All Time,’” White stated. 

The musician also addressed Trump’s response to the backlash and accused the President of lying. “After some backlash (looks like SOME christians actually take their own religion seriously) trump is now saying that this AI image depicts him as a doctor for the Red Cross!” he explained.

“He lies, then lies about the lie, then doubles down on that lie with another lie and they Just. Keep. Falling. For. It,” White concluded.

Trump claims he thought AI-meme portrayed him ‘as a doctor’

Hours after deleting the AI-generated image that appeared to portray him as a Jesus Christ-like figure, Trump told reporters that he thought the meme depicted him as a doctor instead. 

“I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross,” he told the press outside West Wing. “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better,” the President added. 

However, he doubled down on his criticism of Pope Leo XIV, saying, “Pope Leo said things that are wrong. We believe strongly in law and order, and he seemed to have a problem with that, so there’s nothing to apologize for.”

Jack White previously criticized Trump for putting his sign on US currency

This is not the first time White ripped into Trump. The singer previously called out the President after the US Treasury Department revealed plans to place Trump’s signature on the new US paper currency. 

“Oh how humble! But why stop there donnie? Why don’t you use your small hands to sign into law that your oh so stern orange face appears on the front of the hundred dollar bill as well?” he said in a sarcastic Instagram post. 

“TSA agents are selling plasma to pay rent while he takes the day off, cheats at golf, and bombs other countries for fun. Gas prices are surging as a worldwide crisis that HE caused rages in the Middle East; it’s the perfect time to joke on fox ‘news,’  visit Graceland, and sign into law to have your bloated, cocky signature on all U.S. currency!” White wrote, in part, at the time. 

He also criticized Trump’s White House decorations in the past, calling the design “gold leafed and gaudy.”
