I have no fear of Trump, says Pope after attacks and AI ‘Jesus’ image

I have no fear of Trump, says Pope after attacks and AI ‘Jesus’ image

President Trump has posted an AI-generated image seemingly depicting himself as Jesus Christ as he attacked the Pope for not supporting his war in Iran.

In the image, posted at the same time as the US president criticised the Pope for being “weak” on crime and “terrible” for foreign policy, Trump appears dressed in red and white robes as he cures a man with his healing hand. The American flag is shown over his shoulder. The image was shared on the president’s Truth Social site.

Update: Trump posts, then deletes AI image of himself as Christ-like figure, sparking blasphemy accusations

Trump is drawing heat even on Truth Social for this post but some added context was supplied about the origin of the picture in his defense, regardless many are not buying in.

PS. Let me know if you can access the Truth Social links above, I will add the origin/defense pic in the comments.

Trump reportedly says he’ll issue mass pardons at end of his presidential term

Trump reportedly says he’ll issue mass pardons at end of his presidential term

Donald Trump has reportedly said he will issue pardons en masse to his closest advisers at the end of his second presidency, promising them in casual conversations over the last year.

“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval [Office],” the president reportedly said in a recent meeting, garnering laughs from the room, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing an anonymous source.

The publication reported that another source had said Trump used the line in an earlier conversation, but with a smaller radius: he said he would pardon anyone who came within 10ft of the presidential office. Other sources claim Trump has floated hosting a news conference at the end of his term where he will announce mass pardons.

WARMINGTON: Trump offers grace to Canada but threatens Iran’s ‘civilization will die tonight’

WARMINGTON: Trump offers grace to Canada but threatens Iran’s ‘civilization will die tonight’

American President Donald J. Trump has threatened Iran that their “whole civilization will die tonight” if they don’t surrender the Strait of Hormuz immediately.

On his Truth Social account, he wrote, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, who knows?”

Pope Leo vs. President Trump

After the tragic experiences of the 20th century, aerial bombardment should have been banished forever!” declared Pope Leo XIV this week. “Instead, as we know, it still exists, and technological development, which is positive in itself, is being put at the service of war. This is not progress, it is regression!” The pontiff remonstrated: “Aircraft should always be vehicles of peace, never of war! No one should fear that threats of death and destruction will come from the sky.”

Trump Has Highest Own-Party Approval of Any 21st Century President, CNN Survey Shows

“Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president’s own party supporters loved them at this particular point,” CNN’s Harry Enten reported Thursday, citing results of his network’s latest poll.

No other president of the 21st Century has had this high a percentage of overall approval by supporters of his own party at this point in his presidency, Enten said while explaining why almost all of the primary candidates endorsed by Trump win…

What Would the World Look Like Without Trump?

Donald Trump is everywhere; that’s true for his country and for the world. At home, Trump is engaged in an astonishing number of high-visibility battles with institutions once controlled by the progressive Left: the lower courts, the prestige universities, corporate media old and new, cultural gatekeepers like the Smithsonian Institution and Washington’s Kennedy Center, the governors and mayors of Democratic-run jurisdictions, and more. Beyond these shores, we find him bunker-bombing Iran, orchestrating peace between Israel and Hamas, inaugurating a shooting war on Mexican and Venezuelan drug cartels, forcing NATO allies to jack up their defense spending, and ripping apart the globalized economy.

Highlights of the Trump SOTU Address 2026

President Donald John Trump took over a nation from a feeble old man 13 months ago—a nation overrun by invaders, mocked on the world stage after surrendering Afghanistan and suffering an economic malaise not seen since Jimmy Carter roamed the Oval Office.

On Tuesday, Trump delivered a State of the Union address that was chockful of accomplishments in the Return of the Jedi President.

Trump hit by sinister sabotage plot ahead of highly-anticipated State of the Union address

Donald Trump’s highly-anticipated State of the Union address is facing a sinister sabotage plot from top Democrats.

Dozens of lawmakers are set to boycott the speech at the Capitol with counter events, including parading Jeffrey Epstein victims on the National Mall.

David Kusnet: What Canadians should watch for in the state of the union

Since Donald Trump first ran for president in 2016, Americans have been told to “take him seriously, but not literally” — to focus less on his policy pronouncements and more on the feelings behind them. Canadians should do the same when they watch his state of the union address, as they assess what the speech could mean for the already tense U.S.-Canada relationship.

Trump, Like Eisenhower, Solves Problems by First Making Them Bigger

President Dwight D. Eisenhower made an important observation about finding answers to difficult questions. “Whenever I run into a problem I can’t solve,” the five-star general reportedly remarked, “I always make it bigger. I can never solve it by trying to make it smaller, but if I make it big enough, I can begin to see the outlines of a solution.”

John Ivison: Poilievre finally tackles the Trump test and looks more statesmanlike for it

The main criticism of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s convention speech on Friday was that in 40 minutes or so, he didn’t mention the words “Donald Trump” — or how he would respond to the president’s intimidation.

On the contrary, though, I thought what he was saying was pretty clear: That he intends to follow in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s footsteps to the point where their positions are indistinguishable.

The Conservatives have likely concluded that the public see Carney as best equipped to handle the president, and their optimal strategy is to inoculate themselves, in the hope that by the time of the next election, Trump is like the measles, unpleasant but transitory.

Trump’s apology is welcome, but he has good reason to be fed up with ‘Europeans’

OUTRAGED cries and calls for US President Donald Trump to apologise for saying that ‘Europeans . . . stayed . . . a little off the front lines’ during the war in Afghanistan are still rebounding off the walls of Westminster days later. His statement was undoubtedly wrong and appeared to be crassly ill-informed. By late yesterday afternoon he had backtracked.

Trump’s generalisation was difficult to parse and therefore easy to condemn, so the truths in what he may have been thinking and what prompted his ire went unreported. Not least his patent disgust with ‘Europe’ for thwarting his peace-keeping efforts in Ukraine and Gaza.

Europe got off lightly in Trump’s Davos speech

A sigh of relief at this point may prove premature, but perhaps we can permit ourselves a modest expulsion of breath. So long as we do it slowly and inaudibly, and without making any sudden movements.

At the time of writing, Donald Trump has just finished his address at the World Economic Forum at Davos, where he managed to speak for just over 40 minutes without fundamentally pulling the rug from under the constitutional order of Europe. Despite being highly critical of the entire political and economic trajectory of the continent, many European heads of government will be quietly relieved that this big set piece statement did not include any catastrophic bombshells.

The first pope from the US is pressing Trump — and getting little in return

The White House’s top ranks are filled with Catholics, and President Donald Trump has courted the Catholic vote. But repeated, pointed criticisms from the first American to lead the Catholic Church have done little to move the administration on policy.

In recent months, Pope Leo XIV has criticized the administration’s treatment of migrants, its antipathy toward Europe and global institutions like the United Nations and the use of what he characterized as “diplomacy based on force” in the wake of the U.S.’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
