The AI-generated "Divine Trump" saga has officially gone from a domestic PR nightmare to an international diplomatic brawl.
On April 15, 2026, the Iranian Embassy in Tajikistan escalated the mockery by releasing an explosive, edited video clip depicting a furious Jesus Christ physically attacking President Donald Trump.
The satirical strike was a direct response to the President’s recent "Orthodox Easter" post, an AI image that portrayed him as a Christ-like figure performing a healing miracle.
While Trump’s allies and religious leaders at home slammed the original image as "OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy," Tehran has seized the opportunity to use the controversy as a digital weapon in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
The Iranian diplomatic mission didn't stop at one video; across multiple platforms, Iranian embassies have launched a coordinated campaign to "de-sanctify" the President’s image.
The Tajikistan embassy's video shows a total reversal of the original imagery, with Jesus intervening to stop the "healing" through force, while the Embassy of Iran in South Africa reposted the image with a biting caption, asking if the sick man being "healed" in the hospital bed was actually Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting the President’s past associations to mock his attempts at a holy persona.
Under immense pressure from his evangelical base and the embarrassment of international mockery, Trump finally deleted the post Wednesday morning.
Despite the long white robes and glowing orb, Trump insisted on his way out that the image was misunderstood, telling reporters, "I thought it was me as a doctor. Only the fake news could come up with [the Jesus interpretation]."
The timing remains disastrous for the White House as the religious row coincides with a deepening rift with the Vatican, where Trump continues to spar with Pope Leo XIV over the administration's "unilateral" war stance against Iran.
As the 2026 midterms loom, critics say this "unforced error" has provided America’s adversaries with a perfect satirical tool to alienate the President's most devout supporters.
