AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
President Donald Trump appears to have his eye on a new gig after being back in the Oval Office for just over 100 days.
On Friday, the president posted an AI-generated image of himself as the pope on Truth Social, and it has gone viral. Less than a week prior to the post, Trump was in Rome attending the funeral for the late Pope Francis. As the Vatican searches for a new pontiff, it seems Trump is jokingly throwing his hat in the ring.
