Trump Calls Pope Leo 'Weak' and 'Very Liberal' Over U.S. Policy Criticisms
Former U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Pope Leo on Monday via his social media platform, calling him "weak" and accusing him of aligning with the "far left."
Trump's remarks came in response to the pope's criticism of U.S. policies, including military action against Iran, pressure on Venezuela, and strict immigration measures. "I am not a big fan of Pope Leo. He is a very liberal person," Trump stated.
Pope Leo, born in Chicago, spoke during a prayer gathering, emphasizing peace through moral responsibility, dignity, understanding, and forgiveness. He has consistently criticized Trump's policies on migration, war, and humanitarian issues.
The exchange underscores tensions between political leaders and religious figures on matters of war, migration, and ethics.
