Trump Claims Viral Healing Post Was Him Playing Doctor, Not God

President Donald Trump claimed Monday that a religion-themed image he posted and later deleted from social media that showed him healing the sick was actually just a representation of him as “a doctor” and not intended to portray him as Jesus Christ. Trump posted the now-deleted image on Truth Social early Monday morning after he tore into Pope Leo XIV over the pontiff’s criticism of Operation Epic Fury, drawing fire online and on air for the depiction.
