Trump and Pope Leo Dispute
Relations between the White House and the Vatican have reached a historic low as President Trump and Pope Leo XIV trade public criticisms.
The Pope, the first American-born pontiff, has condemned the war in Iran and Trump's threats to 'wipe out' civilizations as unacceptable.
Trump responded by labeling the Pope 'weak' and 'terrible for foreign policy,' leading to widespread outrage among Catholic leaders and voters.
Vice President JD Vance has joined the fray, suggesting the Pope should 'stick to matters of theology' rather than politics.
