Kacey Musgraves transformed into a legendary country star to perform their hit at Nashville’s Robert’s Western World.<\/p>\n

Kacey Musgraves<\/a> has inserted herself and fellow country musician Dolly Parton<\/a> into the discourse surrounding an AI-generated image of a Christ-like figure that President Donald Trump<\/a> posted online to the outrage of religious conservatives.<\/p>\n

Some Trump allies have criticized the president for sharing an image on his Truth Social account on April 12, depicting him laying his hand on the forehead of a sick man in bed<\/a> while a light glows in Trump\u2019s other hand and light shines around the sick man\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

Though the “Golden Hour” singer, 37, did not comment on the controversy, she shared an AI-generated image recreating the image with Musgraves as the sick man and Dolly Parton<\/a> as the Jesus-like figure. Similar to the image Trump shared, the American flag waves and the Statue of Liberty is seen in the background.<\/p>\n

Trump later denied comparing himself to Jesus, arguing that the image was being misconstrued and that he was actually depicted as a doctor. The post has since been removed from his Truth Social page.<\/p>\n

“I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor,” he told reporters during an April 13 White House event, adding: “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better, and I do make people better. I make people a lot better.”<\/p>\n

The controversial image was posted shortly after Trump wrote a long Truth Social message<\/a> calling Pope Leo XIV<\/a>, who has been critical of the Iran war<\/a>, “Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons.” The pope responded,\u00a0saying he has “no fear of the Trump administration, or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel.”<\/p>\n

Conservative activist Riley Gaines condemns AI image<\/p>\n

Among the critics of the image Trump shared was Riley Gaines<\/a>, a former collegiate swimmer and conservative activist who has campaigned for the exclusion of transgender women competing in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

In an April 13 X post,<\/a> Gaines said she couldn\u2019t understand why Trump would post the image, saying, “A little humility would serve him well,” and “God shall not be mocked.”<\/p>\n

She later praised Trump for removing the post, adding, “Of course, I’ll continue to support him and the America First agenda. At the end of the day, I do nothing for the approval of man. Our purpose on this earth is to glorify Him in all we do. The truth social post missed the mark. It’s now deleted. Amazing!”<\/p>\n

Brilyn Hollyhand, the former chair of the Republican National Committee\u2019s Youth Advisory Council and a self-described \u201cfull time Christian\u201d called the image a “gross blasphemy,” in an April 12 X post.<\/a>\u00a0“Faith is not a prop. You don\u2019t need to portray yourself as a savior when your record should speak for itself.”<\/p>\n
