Trump and Pope Leo Feud
The relationship between the White House and the Vatican has reached a historic low as President Trump repeatedly attacks Pope Leo XIV on social media, branding him 'weak on crime.' Trump's grievances stem from the Pope's calls for peace and dialogue in the Middle East, which the administration views as a hindrance to its military objectives.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed 'full solidarity' with the Pope, calling Trump's remarks unacceptable.
The feud has created a significant rift among Catholic voters in the US, with some conservative groups distancing themselves from the president's rhetoric.
