Donald Trump, harsh attack on Pope Leo XIV: "He is weak regarding crime and disastrous in foreign policy."

American President Donald Trump publicly attacked Pope Leo XIV, accusing him of weakness and failure in foreign policy. Trump's criticisms come in response to the pontiff's remarks regarding U.S. immigration policies and the conflict in the Middle East.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Pope Leo as "weak" regarding crime and "disastrous" in terms of foreign policy. Trump added that Pope Leo should "get in line" and stated that he is not a "great admirer" of him.

Pope Leo, known for his measured approach, has been a vocal critic of the war between the U.S. and Israel against Iran, emphasizing that Trump's threats are "unacceptable." The Pope has also called for a "deep reflection" on the treatment of migrants in the U.S.
