President Donald Trump has made a scathing attack of Pope Leo XIV over his stance on the Middle East war and U.S. immigration policy.
In a lengthy, strongly worded statement posted on Truth Social Sunday evening, he called Pope Leo "WEAK on Crime and terrible for Foreign Policy."
The head of the Catholic church last week had openly denounced Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight," a rhetoric targeting the people of Iran, saying it was "truly unacceptable."
