Raised as a Catholic altar boy by a devout mother whom he drove to church well into her 90s,
Jack White has delivered a scathing response to Donald Trump's AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ, alongside the president's repeated attacks on Pope Leo.
Taking to Instagram, White drew a pointed comparison to biblical prophecy. "Hey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he'd present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem? Well…check out your boy now!" he wrote.
He went on to catalogue a litany of grievances. "Listen, if the felonies, epstein files, rapes, bombing of schoolchildren, gestapo ICE agents attacking his own citizens, threatening to invade Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran all didn't convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil' post will?" White added, before questioning how any person of faith could remain supportive. "How can any so called Christian support him after this blasphemy? How could any Catholic support him after he attacks the character of their Pope multiple times? How did so many millions of people fall for this conman? He's already got worst President in the history of America on lock, but I'm gonna go ahead and take the honor of pronouncing trump 'Worst American of All Time.'"
When faced with criticism, Trump offered an alternative explanation for the image, claiming he believed it depicted him "as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support… Only the 'fake news' could come up with that one."
That explanation did little to satisfy White, who returned to address it directly. "After some backlash (looks like SOME christians actually take their own religion seriously) trump is now saying that this AI image depicts him as a doctor for the Red Cross!" he stated. "He lies, then lies about the lie, then doubles down on that lie with another lie and they Just. Keep. Falling. For. It."
