Trump responds to Pope tweet criticism
The US president insists Catholics “loved” the joke
President Donald Trump has dismissed criticism over a viral AI-generated image depicting him in papal attire, insisting the backlash is being driven by the “fake news media,” not the Catholic community.
The digitally altered image, which shows Trump wearing a white papal robe, gold crucifix, and mitre, was posted on his Truth Social platform and the official White House account on X on Saturday.The post followed Trump’s recent remarks joking about becoming the next pope after Pope Francis’ death on April 21.
The image sparked mixed reactions online, with some finding it humorous and others calling it inappropriate. Addressing the controversy on Monday, Trump pushed back on claims that Catholics were offended.
“Oh, I see. You mean they can’t take a joke? You don’t mean the Catholics, you mean the fake news media. The Catholics loved it,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
He added that he had no role in sharing the image: “Somebody made up a picture of me dressed like the Pope, and they put it out on the internet. That’s not me that did it. I have no idea where it came from. Maybe it was AI, but I know nothing about it. I just saw it last evening.”
Trump said First Lady Melania Trump found the image amusing. He then joked,“Actually, I wouldn’t be able to be married, though… To the best of my knowledge, popes aren’t big on getting married, are they?”
Despite Trump’s claim that “Catholics loved it,”some church leaders expressed disapproval. Bishop Robert Barron said it “was a bad joke that obviously landed very poorly and was seen as offensive by a lot of Catholics.” Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, commented, “I hope he didn’t have anything to do with that… It wasn’t good.”
Trump and Pope Francis have a long history of disagreement, especially on immigration. In a letter to US Catholic bishops earlier this year, the pope criticized Trump’s mass deportation policies as a “major crisis” that undermines human dignity. Their tensions date back to 2016, when Francis said anyone who builds walls instead of bridges is “not Christian” – a remark widely interpreted as a rebuke of Trump’s proposed border wall.
President Trump and the First Lady attended Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome on April 26. It was Trump’s first overseas trip since returning to office in January. The Vatican has confirmed that the papal conclave to elect a new pope will begin on May 8.

No one has a sense of humor and the Catholic priests and Cardinals are lying
Does this look like Dan’s beaver tweet? Is everything a mirage?

Pakistan announces new missile test-launch
The launch suggests the armed forces are prepared “to thwart any aggression,” officials have said
The Pakistani military has successfully test launched a Fatah series short-range surface-to-surface missile, according to the country's armed forces press service.
Monday’s launch was the second such event in three days, and comes as tensions between Pakistan and neighboring India remain high following last month’s deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir.
The test launch of the missile, which has a range of 120 kilometers (74.5 miles) was “aimed at ensuring the operational readiness of troops and validating key technical parameters, including the missile’s advanced navigation system and enhanced accuracy,” according to a statement from The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The Fatah missile series is a family of domestically developed surface-to-surface guided rocket systems produced by Pakistan’s state-owned defense conglomerate, Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS).
The event “was witnessed by senior officers of Pakistan Army” who “expressed complete confidence in the operational preparedness… of Pakistan Army to thwart any aggression against the territorial integrity of Pakistan,” added the statement.
On Saturday, Islamabad successfully tested a surface-to-surface missile called the Abdali Weapon System, which has a range of 450km (280 miles). Both missile tests were part of a military drill named Exercise Indus.
India has not officially commented on the tests yet.However, the Hindustan Times reported before the first drill that New Delhi had condemned the planned Pakistani ballistic missile test as a “reckless act of provocation.”
The escalation between Islamabad and New Delhi came after terrorists gunned down 26 civilians in the Baisaran Valley, a popular tourist destination in Indian-administered Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22.
The Resistance Front, which is suspected to have links to the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, first took credit for the attack but later appeared to retract its claim. Indian authorities have named three individuals as suspects; two of them are Pakistani citizens.
Following the incident, India accused Pakistan of supporting armed militants involved in cross-border operations—an allegation that Pakistan has strongly rejected.
Last week, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi granted the country’s armed forces “full operational freedom” to respond to the terrorist attack.
Both nations have expelled diplomats, closed airspace, and engaged in cross-border shelling along the Line of Control (LoC), a military demarcation line that divides the two nations.
