From NBC:
President Donald Trump pleaded ignorance to an apparent AI-generated image depicting him as the pope that was posted to his and the White House’s social media accounts, accusing the media of fabricating the backlash over the image.
“You mean they can’t take a joke? You don’t mean the Catholics, you mean the fake news media,” Trump told reporters Monday about the image, which shows him in papal clothing. “No, the Catholics loved it.” Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, told reporters Sunday that the image was in poor taste. “I hope he didn’t have anything to do with it,” Dolan said about Trump. “It wasn’t good.”
