The new Pope Leo XIV, former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, has stirred controversy among Donald Trump supporters who fear he will not uphold the 'America First' doctrine. Although President Trump has said the election of Leo is a 'great honor,' critics in the MAGA movement have attacked the new pope for his support of immigrants and the poor, as well as his perceived liberal positions. Former strategist Steve Bannon has predicted friction between Pope Leo and Trump, and other MAGA commentators have accused the new pope of embracing progressive values.
