Things got heated fast on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show as the crew tackled President Donald Trump’s refusal to apologize to Pope Leo XIV after blasting him over the Iran conflict and posting — then deleting — an AI image that appeared to depict Trump as Jesus. Trump insists the image was meant to show him “as a doctor,” a claim that sparked backlash from religious leaders and even some of his own supporters, turning the moment into a rare and messy public standoff between a sitting president and the Vatican.
