Trump Calls Pope Leo XIV 'Terrible for Foreign Policy' After Iran War Criticism

President Trump launched a scathing attack on Pope Leo XIV Sunday night, calling him 'WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy' on social media. The pope had criticized Trump's foreign and immigration policies, particularly the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Trump accused the pontiff of 'catering to the Radical Left' and said he preferred the pope's brother Louis because of his support for the MAGA movement. The attack came after Leo emerged as an outspoken critic of the military conflict.

Pope Leo XIV made history last year when he became the first US-born pope. His criticism of American foreign policy has created unprecedented tensions between the White House and Vatican.

Trump typically reserves the 'weak on crime' insult for Democratic mayors, making his use of it against the pope particularly striking. The exchange escalates already high tensions between the two leaders over US military involvement abroad.
