Trump faces backlash after posting AI image dressed as pope

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has received criticism after posting a photo that he created using artificial intelligence to depict himself as the pope days before a conclave to choose the next pontiff.

Trump, who is not a Catholic and regularly attends church, posted the photo on his Truth Social platform less than a week after attending Pope Francis’ funeral service, which took place last month at the age of 88. The White House then reposted it on its official X account.

In the image, a man with a raised right forefinger sits in a ostentatious chair, ished up in papal vestments, and posing in a headdress.

Just days before cardinals are scheduled to begin the conclave to choose the replacement of Pope Francis, Trump joked to reporters this week that he wanted to be the next pope.

When asked who he wanted to take over from Francis, Trump responded, “I’d like to be pope, that would be my number one choice.

Trump continued, saying that he had no preference for certain people but that a certain cardinal was “very good.”

He appeared to be referring to Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, who is a theological conservative who is fiercely opposed to abortion.

“blatant insult to Catholics”

Republicans against Trump, a group that describes itself as “pro-democracy conservative Republicans fighting Trump & Trumpism,” were quick reactions to the irreverent posting, though. The group republished the photo, calling it “a mockery of Catholics and a blatant insult to them” (p.

The picture was subjected to severe criticism from the New York State Catholic Conference, which claims to represent state bishops in collaboration with the government.

In a post on X, it stated, “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President.”

The cardinals are about to convene a solemn conclave to choose a new St. Peter’s successor, and we just buried our beloved Pope Francis. Do not make fun of us.

During a press briefing about the selection of a new pope, which will take place on May 7, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said he would not comment on the image.

Matteo Renzi, the former prime minister of Italy, wrote on X: “This image offends believers, insults institutions, and demonstrates how much the global right enjoys being a clown.” The American economy is in danger of recession, and the dollar’s value is falling.

The image, which read “pathological megalomania,” was also featured on the left-leaning La Repubblica in Italy on Saturday, along with a statement on its website.

President Trump has been a steadfast supporter of Catholics and religious liberty, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt when asked about responding to the criticism.

Pope Francis, who had arguably been one of the most powerful moral critics of Trump, was unquestionably one of the most powerful in the world.

Francis was unfaithful in his campaign pledge to erect a border wall to encircle Mexico when Trump first ran for president in 2016.

Anyone, whoever they are, who only wants to construct walls and not bridges is not a Christian, Francis had declared to the media.

Brooklyn Beckham’s tense feud with Kim Turnbull and brother Romeo as he snubs dad’s birthday

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article35167231.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/1_MAIN-Brooklyn-Beckhams-tense-feud-with-Romeos-girlfriend-Kim-Turnbull-as-he-snubs-dads-birthday.jpg

Due to the ongoing conflict between his brother Romeo and his father David Beckham, who is also a member of the family, who was absent from his father’s milestone birthday celebration, Brooklyn Beckham was unable to attend his father’s birthday celebration.

According to reports, Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola pledged to boycott all events Romeo’s girlfriend is invited to.

The feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his brother Romeo appears to have taken a new low as the eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham failed to attend his father’s 50th birthday celebration. The tense stand-off between the brothers is believed to be over Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull, who reportedly dated Brooklyn back in 2016.

Brooklyn has questioned Kim’s intentions and “motives” toward his brother, according to reports from American online news sources.

The aspiring chef has reportedly informed his family that he won’t attend any family gatherings that Kim is also invited to.

And this explains why both Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were a no-show at David’s 50th birthday party.

Since none of Brooklyn’s family publicly acknowledged his third wedding anniversary, it seems like the feud has spread to everyone in the Beckham clan.

Brooklyn shared a picture of a bouquet of flowers he received to honor his wedding anniversary last month.

Dear Nicola and Brooklyn, I wish you a very happy anniversary, both on the card! Love all the children, including my mom and dad.

Brooklyn simply wrote “thank you” when he first shared a picture of the flowers, leaving out the fact that either of his parents or his in-laws had delivered them.

Then he recovered the photo and posted it again. “Thank you so much for these incredible flowers from my in-laws [red love heart emoji]” was the new message’s title. I adore you all.

Social media detectives at the time noticed that no one in his family liked or commented on the post, which is unusual for a family that regularly shares its lives with fans.

According to reports, Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola pledged to boycott all events Romeo's girlfriend is invited to.

Dispelling rumours that Brooklyn dated Kim, Cruz Beckham recently weighed in on the discussion. In a now deleted post, a fan wrote: “It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool.”

This was incorporated into Romeo and Kim’s photo. Additionally, according to reports, “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were not present at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week, and Kim, according to the news outlet, was just a coincidence.

Before dating Romeo, Kim’s ex-boyfriends include Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie who she dated in 2017, a year after she reportedly dated Brooklyn.

Despite his feud with his younger brother, Brooklyn’s relationship with his wife, who they both put on during the Coachella festival, does not appear to have changed as a result.

At the annual music festival, the pair were pictured kissing without noticing the crowd.

Ethiopian Nigussie breaks Belfast Marathon record

Pacemaker

Ethiopian Tilahun Nigussie won the Belfast Marathon in a new event record of two hours, 13 minutes and 37 seconds after dominating the race.

Nigussie’s winning time cut four seconds off the previous race record set by his compatriot Negewo Ararisa in 2012.

Kenya’s Millicent Kibet took victory in the women’s race in 2: 38.30 which was more than three minutes outside the record set by another Kenyan Beatrice Jepkemei last year.

Drogheda athlete Aaron Hanlon was 13 minutes behind the men’s winner in taking the runners-up spot in 2: 27.06 with Annadale Striders ‘ Stephen Connolly earning the concurrently staged Northern Ireland title in his debut marathon as he was third over the line in 2: 29.30.

Moroccan Lalla Aziza cut into Kibet’s women’s advantage in the closing stages but finished 21 seconds behind the Kenyan with previous Belfast winner Gladys Ganiel securing another Northern Ireland title at the age of 48 as she completed the podium positions in 2: 45.46.

Aghadowey woman Jayne Bleakley won the wheelchair race as she became the first female to complete the distance in Belfast as she clocked 2: 28.27.

Bleakley, diagnosed with a condition known as encephalitis as a child, was also competing in her first marathon at the age of 44.

Nigussie briefly takes wrong turn

Nigussie, 26, was already well ahead of the field by the end of the first mile as his only company was a couple of the early marathon relay competitors.

The previous event record of 2: 13.41 set 13 years ago by his compatriot Ararisa didn’t look under threat as Nigussie reached halfway in 1: 08.40.

However, Nigussie, who set his personal best of 2: 07.50 earlier this year, picked up the pace significantly over the closing miles as he was clearly chasing the cash bonus on offer for the course record.

The Ethiopian’s hopes of bettering the record was almost undone in the closing kilometre after he briefly missed a turn but after being quickly directed back on to the course, produced a strong closing sprint to set the new mark.

Record numbers have taken part this year – organisers say 6, 500 full marathon runners signed up along with 2, 750 relay teams (which have between two and five people in them) and 1, 200 walkers.

Nearly 290,000 Gaza children on ‘the brink of death’ amid Israeli blockade

More than 3,500 children under the age of five “face imminent death by starvation,” according to Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO), adding that 70, 000 children are being hospitalized in the enclave as a result of the government’s total blockade of more than two months.

More than 3,500 children under the age of five are facing imminent starvation in a systematic blockade, while 290, 000 children are on the verge of starvation, according to a statement from the GMO on Sunday on Telegram.

The “Israeli” occupation is using starvation as a weapon to commit this crime, according to the statement, “with the shameful international silence that 1.1 million children each day do not have the minimum nutritional requirements for survival.”

The death of at least 57 Palestinians has sparked outrage around the world, but that hasn’t persuaded Israel to grant aid to the 2.3 million-strong enclave.

Aid organizations claim that the region has become starvation as a result of a lack of food and supplies. As documented cases of malnutrition increase, supplies to treat and prevent malnutrition are rapidly running out.

The majority of Gaza’s residents, who according to the United Nations claim more than 80% of the population depends on aid, cannot afford the price of what little food is still on the market.

Israel has been accused of using starvation as a means of war by human rights activists and activists.

Israel, on the other hand, insists that Hamas must be forced to release its prisoners. 24 of the 59 captives who are still present in Gaza are reportedly still alive.

Following a wave of online criticism, Alan Titchmarsh has expressed his concern for the future.

The former host of Gardeners’ World is worried that an over-reliance on technology could lead to people losing touch with nature. This concern has led Alan to utilise technology in order to assist budding gardeners.

The 76-year-old frequently posts gardening advice on his social media platform, Gardening with Alan Titchmarsh. However, he admits that there’s a darker side to social media, as many have taken issue with his comments regarding avocados.

The TV personality argued that avoiding the trendy fruit for cereal is healthier for the environment by encouraging people to switch to the trendy fruit. Trade organizations who claim avocados have a “positive ecological footprint than is frequently believed” responded with a counterclaim.

This experience has led Alan to express his worry about a world where people are overly dependent on social media. He believes it “encourages bitterness and arguing.”

He stated in a conversation with The Telegraph that “I’m afraid of a world where technology and social media are increasingly ineffective because they lessen the connection between the outside world and nature, and this lessens the importance of taking care of it overall. You must sense, experience, or see nature.

Alan is in favor of a society where disagreements aren’t filled with “insulting” remarks, even though he acknowledges that people will naturally have opinions. He clarifies his position on social media by saying, “Social media is both a good servant and a bad master. I don’t believe in social media and don’t think it should. simply because it seems to promote a lot of argument and bitterness.

He adds, “Just look at how my avocado comments have exploded over the years, and how disproportionately popular are they on mundane subjects like avocados online. I have the right to my opinion and you have the right to mine. You can disagree, but you can also disagree without being insulting or disagreeable.

Alan actively contributes to his social media pages, posting useful advice on growing fruits and veggies from home, cultivating small garden spaces, and raising plants from seeds. He took his green fingers digital with the launch of his YouTube channel last month.
