Jon Stewart Is Hilariously Suspicious of the Man Being Healed in President Trump’s AI Jesus Image
The AI-generated photo that President Donald Trump shared which seemingly depicted himself as Jesus had Jon Stewart wondering why he looked alarmingly similar to the man Trump was “healing” in the picture.
“Am I OK?” Stewart, 63, asked the audience during the Monday, April 13, episode of The Daily Show after comparing himself to the man in the image from different angles.
“What the f**k? Wait, what?!” he continued. “I mean, look, I know I don’t have the vigor and spunk of my MTV days, but I didn’t know we had reached here already. I didn’t realize my look had reached leper territory. I mean, from the picture, it looks like it was touch-and-go with me for a while.”
In the since-deleted image, Trump, 79, shared on Truth Social, he wore a white robe with a red cloth draped around his neck while surrounded by people looking up at him reverently.
“There’s my darling wife, Amy Lynn, hands clasped in prayer,” Stewart quipped. “My brother, Sergeant Chisel Jaw. Oh, look in the back. There’s Pappy Joe. He and I stormed the capital together, me and Pappy Joe.”
Trump previously said he believed it showed him “as a doctor” and “had to do with the Red Cross,” and his explanation led Stewart to slam the Apprentice alum.
“Is that an urgent care? Is that what that is? Why don’t you own it, you big puss bag? You put yourself out there as Jesus,” he said from the stage. “You got f**king called on it and now you’re like, [gibberish whining]. God, do you even care about lying to us anymore? Is it over? Is this relationship gone stale? Your lies used to have a real spark.”
The president deleted the photo after receiving significant backlash regarding the image and blamed the “fake news” for claiming it was a photo of himself as Jesus.
“Only the fake news could come up with that one,” Trump told reporters outside the White House while getting McDonald’s delivered via DoorDash. “I just heard about it. It’s supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better.”
