Summary
President Trump directly attacked the world’s first American Pope on Sunday via a lengthy Truth Social post. He doubled down on his criticism of Pope Leo when he was boarding Air Force One, telling reporters he’s not a fan of the Pope. Even though the Vatican has not responded to the shocking words from the President, several Catholics leaders have, one Archbishop saying he is “disheartened.”
