How is this image not blasphemous?
Posting an image of a oneself as the Pope during papal mourning?
This act is deeply contemptuous of the sacred office of the Pope, the Vicar of Christ, and deeply disrespects grieving Catholics.
When John Lennon offhandedly said of The Beatles, "We're more popular than Jesus," Christians led a wave of protests, record burnings, and boycotts.
When Andres Serrano exhibited a red and yellow photograph of a crucifix plunged into a vat of his own urine he sparked congressional debates and the photograph -- along with a companion piece of a meditating nun -- was physically attacked and destroyed.
But, hey, this is just Mad King Donald being Mad King Donald. Good fun all around.

There are many interviews with Trumpers who say that "Trump was sent by God", or something along that line. Can you imagine the stupidity of such a statement?

He thinks he is. And some (not all) of his followers appear to think so, too. "God sent Trump to save us" (or similar) is a sign I have seen in photos at some of his rallies (I think it was rallies). That's pretty much Jesus, according to myth.

How is this image not blasphemous?
I don't think -strictly speaking- it is. I commit blasphemy all the time (or, rather, I don't care if I say something blasphemous because I don't think anything is "holy"). The Pope is a man. A man is not sacred (at least not any more than any other man or woman). He's just a man. To commit blasphemy, I think you have to go after god, or Yeshu, or -possibly- go against "scripture". Had he posted a photo of himself in Michelangelo's mural of god and Adam, that might qualify. That's god and Adam...a step above a man in "holy orders".
I'm just nitpicking, though.
The photo posted clearly is in extremely poor taste (even a lowly atheist like me can see that), and I can see how Catholics would find offense. That I'm not hearing -yet- any wails of protest is...interesting. Some nations -like Italy- are already reacting, one statement I read saying the Felon is a "megalomaniac" (which is probably correct). Vance is Catholic, and didn't have much to say. But it's early. Maybe more reactions are to follow over the next few days.
Regarding John Lennon, he was correct. At the time, there were more Beatles fans than christians worldwide. I have seen footage of the bonfires of Beatles albums that resulted. Both christians and muslims seem to share a hyper-sensitivity to comments about their respective prophets. Jews seem less so (at least in part because they're still waiting for the prophet, I assume).

Blasphemous, no.
Incredibly tasteless and a window into Donald Trump’s shriveled soul? Yes

And it doesn't take much to imagine that had Joe Biden done this, what a global outrage it would spark in the GOP and media for weeks on end.

It's not the most tasteless version of Trump-as-Pope I've seen.

True, but it is the one he chose for himself.
