The official White House Xitter account has posted some offensive things before in the Trump era, but this time, Donald has offended millions of Catholics in mourning after Pope Francis died late last month. 54% of Catholic voters supported Trump in 2024, and 44% backed Harris.
Donald posted an AI image of himself on Truth Social, depicting himself in papal attire with a crucifix around his neck, then the White House posted the same disrespectful image on Xitter and Instagram.
Donald could be trolling, but the official White House accounts posted it, too. A new Pope has not even been selected yet. Still, he is mocking an entire religion.
A gang tattoo!
As a Catholic I find this egregiously offensive. Especially during the official period of mourning for our beloved Pope. This clown spoke just yesterday about bringing religion back to the White House. Is this what he meant?

As a Catholic, this is an insult to all of those who share this faith.
The fact that the White House's official government account shares this is a clear example of the degradation this administration has reached. https://t.co/SNpSx2wLtX— Marco Frieri (@MarcoAFrieri) May 3, 2025
And on Truth Social:
J.D. Vance is Catholic, so I'm sure he'll call out his boss for such a disrespectful post, right? Donald is a vile old man with a 10-year-old's brain.
