Donald Trump called out Pope Leo in another message after he earlier claimed that he wouldn’t engage in any debate with him. His latest back-to-back posts weren’t just limited to criticism of the Pope. They also extended to several other topics, including a lack of support from NATO and targeting the Democratic Party fundraising platform, ActBlue. These outbursts came after the pope made remarks criticizing his administration over the ongoing war situation.
Donald Trump posts a message for Pope Leo on Truth Social
Donald Trump took to Truth Social to ask Pope Leo to look at the number of innocent killings that have happened in Iran in recent months. He revealed that, for such reasons, Iran shouldn’t have nuclear weapons. He wrote, “Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable. Thank you for your attention to this matter. AMERICA IS BACK!!!”
It remains unclear where Trump obtained the exact figures on the number of killings. This is because the estimates have varied across different sources. The President later reacted to an X post on Truth Social that highlighted old social media activity of Pope Leo before he assumed the position.
The post read, “It’s fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the pope. Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd, saying, “We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice.”
The post further claimed that the account was later deleted after the pope was appointed. Trump shared a screenshot of this post on social media and commented, “Not good.”
These comments come amid Pope Leo, who during his evening prayers aimed at political leaders and officials. He urged them to stop committing war crimes in the name of religion. He asked them to stop their display of power and money, further condemning the war. Trump earlier responded to Pope Leo’s criticism, calling him “WEAK on crime and terrible for Foreign Policy.”
