President Donald Trump received swift backlash from many right-wing and religious figures for his now-deleted AI-generated post depicting him as Jesus Christ.

One-time allies of Trump offered harsh words following the president’s Truth Social post on Sunday night. Former-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was among the most prominent figures to speak out.

It’s more than blasphemy. It’s an Antichrist spirit. https://t.co/Lqd9GkBPmO

Podcaster Candace Owens sounded off during her show on Monday.

“Trump is very clearly under demonic influence, I think Paula White probably put a spell on him of some sort,” Owens said. “He is surrounded by, ironically, the very thing he accuses me, Megyn and Tucker of being.”

Various other conservative and religious figures were quick to condemn Trump’s AI-generated photo:

I genuinely believe Trump is currently demon possessed.

I blame his voters for this. I blame every Republican elected official. I blame his media sycophants. I blame every media outlet, university president, private company CEO, and world leader who bent the knee to him. They’re all to blame for this. They ALL taught him to believe he… pic.twitter.com/8gDYOwmxQE

This evening, the president posted this, literally presenting himself as Jesus. He’s not doing anything to stave off the anti-Christ allegations. If any Democrat president did this, Evangelical Christians would implode. But will they speak out against this? I highly doubt it. pic.twitter.com/c6vpE68M1d

This is gross blasphemy.Faith is not a prop.You don’t need to portray yourself as a savior when your record should speak for itself.The same God who saved Trump’s life from that bullet sent His son Jesus to die for our sins.He died for Trump just as much as for you and I. pic.twitter.com/0Xl94nzt2A

Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he'd post this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this? Either way, two things are true. 1) a little humility would serve him well 2) God shall not be mocked https://t.co/GViHqWeDEr

Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday that he thought the picture depicted him as a doctor.
