Trump disgraces Catholic Church with AI depiction of himself as the pope
Share: Just when it seemed Donald Trump’s social media presence couldn’t go further downhill, he, for whatever reason, decided to post an AI-generated photo of himself as the pope only days after Pope Francis passed away.

Aside from the post being blatantly tone-deaf, it’s also incredibly disrespectful. …

With the law being so biased and strict, seemingly exclusively towards Mangione in an already flawed legal system, it almost seems as if they’re using him as an example to deter others from committing similar actions. It is unfair that Mangione allegedly shot one individual without attempting to harm others, but is treated as if …
