Trump and Pope Leo Clash

Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff, has openly criticized the U.S. administration's military actions in Iran, calling threats of total destruction 'unacceptable.' President Trump responded by labeling the Pope 'weak' and suggesting he is aligned with the 'radical left.' The dispute has created significant political headaches for Republican leaders who rely on the Catholic vote.

Tensions reached a peak when Trump shared an AI image of himself healing the sick, which critics across the religious spectrum denounced as blasphemous.
