Trump’s Unholy War with the Pope
Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, has repeatedly called for grace and charity, directly challenging Trump's 'America First' policies.
The president has responded with erratic social media outbursts, at one point comparing himself to Jesus Christ before deleting the post.
Critics argue that the administration's increasing use of religious imagery has backfired among some segments of the faithful.
The ongoing feud has become a defining cultural conflict of Trump's second term, highlighting deep divisions within the American electorate.
