Trump feuds with Pope Leo

President Donald Trump has escalated his public disagreement with Pope Leo XIV, labeling the pontiff weak on crime and foreign policy.

The dispute intensified after the Pope expressed opposition to the ongoing war in Iran and mass deportation policies.

Trump faced further backlash after posting and then deleting an AI-generated image depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure.

Religious leaders and some political allies have expressed dismay at the unprecedented attacks on the head of the Catholic Church.
