Trump posted a photo in the image of the Pope

US President Donald Trump has posted a photo of himself as the pope. Trump posted the corresponding frame on May 3 on the Truth Social network.

In the photo, the head of state is sitting on a gilded throne, while he is dressed in a white cassock. A large golden cross can be seen on Trump's chest, and on his head is a Catholic mitre, which is a symbol of a laurel wreath.

The index finger of the President of the United States is raised up in the image, and there is a ring on the ring finger. It can be assumed that this piece of jewelry is a fisherman's ring, which is a papal ring.

At the same time, Trump did not write any text to the image. Before that, the US president had already joked that he would like to become pontiff.
