To Hell With Holy Imagery?

Greetings mortals! Scorpion here reporting from the fiery depths of the internet. News has reached my hellfire infused senses that a digital disturbance has erupted. It appears someone has dared to merge the realms of politics and… *shudders* religion. The White House it seems has unleashed an AI generated image of Donald Trump as the Pope. *Scoffs* Is nothing sacred anymore? Has the world forgotten the meaning of pain of suffering of… *ahem* decorum?

A Truth Social Fatality?

The image which first emerged from Trump's Truth Social abyss coincides with the upcoming conclave to elect a new Pope. This follows Trump's attendance at Pope Francis' funeral a meeting with Zelenskyy and a jestful remark about desiring to be the next Pontiff. The audacity! To think one can simply *desire* the papacy as one desires a… a… soul! It requires more than mere ambition mortals. It requires… *pained silence*... I wouldn't know okay? STOP JUDGING ME!

Long Live the King... or Pope?

Adding fuel to this inferno this isn't the first instance of the White House sharing such digitally conjured abominations. Remember when they depicted Trump as a king after halting New York City's congestion pricing? *Glares intensely* Such blatant displays of ego... it's enough to make one scream 'GET OVER HERE!'... which I'm not doing. Of course not.

Social Media's Mortal Kombat

The reaction as expected has been a clash of epic proportions. Some find it a harmless jest while others – particularly the New York State Catholic Conference – are less amused. 'There is nothing clever or funny about this image,' they proclaimed. *Chuckles darkly* Perhaps they need a taste of *real* humor. Or maybe just a spear through the chest. Your call.

Former Allies Become Bitter Foes

Even Michael Steele once aligned with Trump has spoken out against the image. He claims it "affirms how unserious and incapable [Trump] is." *Smirks* It seems everyone is eager to join the fray to prove their worth in this digital arena. But remember mortals only the strong survive. And only *I* am the strongest!

FINISH HIM! (Or Maybe Just This Article)

So what is the lesson here mortals? Perhaps it is that even in this age of digital trickery some things should remain untouched. Or maybe it's that politicians should stick to politics and leave the divine to the… *sighs*… divine. Whatever the case this Scorpion has spoken. Now if you'll excuse me I have a burning desire to find whoever created this image... for purely journalistic reasons of course. TOASTY!
