Trump and Pope Leo Feud
The conflict escalated during the Pope's visit to Cameroon and Angola, where he addressed crowds of over 100,000 and emphasized the legacy of slavery and the need for peace.
Trump's supporters in the MAGA movement have joined the fray, with some conservative influencers accusing the Pope of sabotaging the GOP's midterm prospects.
The rupture marks a significant departure from the traditional strategic partnership between the White House and the Vatican.
As the Pope continues his tour, the rhetorical battle is increasingly unsettling the American Catholic voting bloc ahead of the midterms.
