President Donald Trump launched a new tirade against Pope Leo XIV in a Monday interview with CBS News.

The president first attacked the American-born pope on Sunday, publishing a https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-posts-crazed-meltdown-at-pope-leo-for-criticizing-him/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-posts-crazed-meltdown-at-pope-leo-for-criticizing-him/">334-word rant on Truth Social in which he condemned Leo for being “weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy” and took credit for his success.
