'They can't take a joke': Trump says he knew 'nothing' about AI image of him as the popeWASHINGTON President Donald Trump says he knew nothing about an artificially generated image of him dressed as the pope that was posted to his Truth Social account over the weekend.
"I had nothing to do with it. 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 told reporters on May 5 from the Oval Office.
The image that the White House reshared has drawn criticism from Catholics, who are still mourning the death of Pope Francis. Trump attended his funeral last week alongside other world leaders. A papal conclave to select a new pope is set to begin on May 7.
Talking to reporters on May 5 about the artificial image that appeared on his account, Trump brought up first lady Melania Trump and said, "Actually my wife thought it was cute. She said, 'Isn't that nice?'"

How out of it were you?
