Trump posts AI photo evokes backlash praise on social media

US President Donald Trump has posted a seemingly AI generated photo of himself in papal attire on his social media sparking a duelling backlash and praise, Newsweek said on Saturday.

The image, which was also posted from the White House's social media handle, prompted many social media users to call it "cosplaying as the next Pope" comes days after Trump had jokingly said last week that he would be his own "number one choice" for the next pope.

In the Vatican, cardinals are set to begin on May 7 the process to choose a successor to Pope Francis, who died on April 21. The US president was among the world leaders who attended his funeral at St Peter's Square on April 26.
