Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sharply criticized the president's now-deleted AI-generated image depicting him as a Christ-like figure, calling it "worthy of a diagnosis" and suggesting it was intended to distract from broader controversies surrounding his remarks on religion and foreign policy.
"You would have to ask a psychiatrist... It isn't even worthy of a conversation. It's worthy of a diagnosis," said Pelosi referring to the image, which showed the president in a white robe appearing to heal a patient. She added that such actions were "too distracting" and part of a broader effort "to distract" from criticism over his comments about Pope Leo XIV.
