Trump Attacks Pope: "Not a Fan," Says Pontiff Too Liberal

President Donald Trump launched an unprecedented public criticism of Pope Leo on Sunday, questioning the Pope's performance and accusing him of catering to the political left. "I'm not a fan," Trump stated. "I don't think he's doing a very good job. He's a very liberal person." The remarks began in a lengthy social media post while Trump was flying from Florida to Washington. He continued his criticism upon landing, speaking to reporters on the tarmac. The President directly urged the global leader of the Catholic Church to "stop catering to the Radical Left." This extraordinary broadside from a U.S. president against a pope deepens a visible rift between the two figures, primarily over international policy and war. Pope Leo, born in the United States, has been a prominent voice for diplomacy and peace.
