Trump feuds with Pope Leo

The rhetorical collision between the White House and the Vatican reached a new peak as President Trump labeled the American-born Pope Leo XIV 'weak on crime' and 'terrible for foreign policy.' The friction stems from the Pope's consistent calls for an immediate ceasefire and his opposition to the Trump administration's mass deportation policies.

Trump attempted to dismiss the controversy over his messianic AI portrait by claiming he believed it depicted him as a doctor.

Religious leaders and political analysts warn that the public spat could alienate crucial Catholic swing voters ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
