特朗普5月2日晚在Truth Social发布AI生成的自己成为教宗的图片，随后被白宫账号在X平台上转发。他此前还开玩笑称自己是教宗的第一人选。此举引发谴责。
意大利和西班牙媒体表示鉴于当时仍处于官方哀悼期，特朗普此举粗俗冒犯。意大利《共和报》刊发评论，指责特朗普是“病态的自大狂”。
意大利前总理马泰奥·伦齐表示：“这是一张冒犯信徒、侮辱教会的图片，表明右翼世界的领导人喜欢扮小丑。”
天主教纽约总教区呼吁特朗普不要嘲笑他们。
白宫新闻秘书对这些批评未予以正面回应，仅表示特朗普参加了教宗方济各的葬礼，一直是天主教徒和宗教自由的坚定拥护者。

Telegram is a free app and runs on donations. According to a blog on the telegram: We believe in fast and secure messaging that is also 100% free. Pavel Durov, who shares our vision, supplied Telegram with a generous donation, so we have quite enough money for the time being. If Telegram runs out, we will introduce non-essential paid options to support the infrastructure and finance developer salaries. But making profits will never be an end-goal for Telegram.
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
