The White House on Friday posted an image of President Donald Trump dressed as the pope on X, sparking both backlash and glee online.

"And so it is what is, I guess, but it's very unfortunate," said Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey S. Grob. "It's a very serious time."

President Trump shared an AI-generated photo of himself dressed as the pope just days after telling reporters that he'd "like to be pope."The image – which Mr. Trump first posted on his social media platform Truth Social – was also shared by the White House's official social media account on Friday.
