Podcasters Andrew Kolvet, Blake Neff, and Joshua Haymes spoke out against President Donald Trump after he shared an image that appeared to compare himself to Jesus Christ.

The three podcasters addressed the president's latest stunt after he admitted to posting a photo of himself appearing to be Christ. The president, however, claimed that the image depicted him as a doctor rather than the Christian savior.

A recent survey by a Democratic group projects voters in deep red Iowa have cooled on President Donald Trump — and have the state in serious contention for the 2026 midterm elections, according to reporting by Politico.

The Democratic pollster GBAO for the center-left ModSquad, led by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), found Republicans are barely favored in both the Senate and general ballots for Congress. Currently, Democratic Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand is leading the governor’s race 50 to 42 percent – surpassing GOP Representative Randy Feenstra by eight points.

Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei expressed shock at President Donald Trump's harsh attack on Pope Leo XIV on Sunday, following a Truth Social post by the president depicting himself as Jesus Christ.

Though Trump removed the image, VandeHei warned that the damage was already done with religious supporters and some MAGA fans.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a glowing report Monday about President Donald Trump’s decision to enact a U.S. Navy blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which called the decision “brilliant” – and immediately drew widespread ridicule from critics.

“President Trump brilliantly calls Iran’s bluff – with his own Strait of Hormuz blockade,” Leavitt wrote in a social media post on X, sharing the headline from a New York Post report.

President Donald Trump failed to persuade critics with his explanation for a post depicting himself as a Christlike figure healing a bedridden man.

The 79-year-old president has already deleted the post, which went up Sunday as he raged online against Pope Leo XIV, but he insisted Monday afternoon at the White House that the image was not intended as a depiction of himself as Jesus Christ.

A DoorDash delivery driver bringing President Donald Trump two bags of food from McDonald’s Monday at the White House was pressed by the president on whether she voted for him, drawing nervous laughter and an ambiguous response.

“Well you're really nice. Would you like to do a little news conference with me with these people? These are not the nicest people, they're not nice like you, you know that, right?” Trump told the delivery driver, the two of them standing just outside the White House in front of a group of reporters.

There is a perceptible sea change at the White House as Donald Trump’s fortunes take a turn for the worse, and press secretary Karoline Leavitt is showing visible signs of stress dealing with it.

According to White House correspondent Anushka Asthana writing for The i Paper, the shift is unmistakable. More journalists are cramming into the briefing room daily, sensing that unpredictable chaos could erupt at any moment.

The contrast to six weeks ago is stark, she wrote. In his State of the Union Address, Trump spent a 107-minute speech boasting about falling gas prices — his centerpiece achievement. Iran merited roughly three minutes near the end, almost as an afterthought.

Now the Iran war is all-consuming, along with the dire economic consequences it has unleashed. In a recent Ipsos poll, 66 percent said they wanted the US to end its involvement quickly, even if all goals aren't achieved, compared with just 27 percent who support Trump pushing on.

Trump's mental state is visibly deteriorating under the pressure, according to Asthana.

"There is no question that he has become more erratic in recent weeks; that the frustration and anger he is feeling is bubbling up to the surface and causing him to lash out," she wrote.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) called for the hanging of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) following allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

In an interview on Monday, MAGA influencer Benny Johnson asked Ogles what should happen to Swalwell if the allegations against him were true.

After facing a wave of backlash from critics and supporters alike, President Donald Trump appeared to have deleted a social media post that featured an image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure — prompting ridicule from onlookers.

“Thou shalt always TACO… Trump 3:16,” quipped Tommy Christopher, writer and editor for Mediaite and former White House reporter, in a social media post on X to his more than 25,000 followers.

President Donald Trump finally deleted a social media post showing himself as a Christlike figure after he was called out by a supportive organization founded on the ideals of the Crusaders.

The 79-year-old president drew rare criticism from from the religious right by posting what appeared to be AI-generated image depicting him in a white robe, holding a glowing orb in one hand and laying his other hand on the forehead of a man lying in a hospital bed.
