Donald Trump Imagines Himself as Pope

US President Donald Trump has posted an AI-generated image of himself in papal attire, just days after joking about becoming the next pope. 

The image, shared on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, depicts Trump in white papal robes, a gold crucifix, and a mitre, with his right hand raised in a traditional papal gesture. 

The disrespectful post follows comments Trump made earlier this week to reporters. “I’d like to be pope, that would be my number one choice”, he said in response to questions about potential successors to Pope Francis, who died on April 21. 

He went on to praise Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York as “very good”, though Vatican observers note that the election of an American pope is unlikely. 

The president and First Lady Melania Trump attended Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome on April 26, which marked his first international trip since returning to office in January.

The final Old Firm derby of the Scottish Premiership season ended in a 1-1 draw today. 

Rangers took the lead in the forty-fourth minute when their forward shrugged off Liam Scales and tucked a low shot past goalkeeper Vijami Sinisalo. But Celtic drew level in the fifty-seventh minute when Adam Idah's powerful shot found the back of the net via a deflection off a Gers player. 

I daresay it was a fairly even game that produced a fair outcome. I guess neither team did enough to win the match.
