Pope Leo pushes back after Trump calls him 'terrible' - CNN

[TexasTowelie]

Pope Leo XIV on Monday strongly pushed back against criticism from US President Donald Trump, defending his position of seeking peace and rejecting violence amid the Iran war.

Trump tore into the pope on Sunday evening, denouncing his stance on the Iran war and saying he’s “terrible for foreign policy.”

CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene, CNN Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb and “Letters From Leo” publisher, Christopher Hale, have more on the spat between Trump and Pope Leo.

1. A spat would be like when I was five and my Sister was seven..

And she demanded half of my candy bar, and I wouldn't give it to her.

This ain't that.

2. Trump doesn't care

When will people realize that Trump doesn't really care about "winning" the elections. Here is just one new example: Attacking the Pope? Please remember, most "white" Catholics vote republican. He only cares about himself. He will try to steal the elections so that he can control congress but he doesn't truly care about any of the republicans running. Neither does he care about 2028.
