Holy Trump: US President reimagines himself as new Pope

US President Donald Trump faced heavy backlash on social media on Saturday after he posted an AI-generated photo of himself as the pope. This comes just days after he jokingly said he would "like to be Pope" after Pope Francis passed away on April 22 at the age of 88.

Trump's post irked many on social media who slammed him saying the post was insensitive and accused him of mocking the pontiff's death.

Pope Francis breathed his last on April 22 after suffering a stroke and heart failure, stated  Vatican doctor Andrea Arcangeli in a death certificate released last week.
