President Trump slammed Pope Leo XIV for being “weak on crime,” and “terrible for foreign policy” in a lengthy Truth Social post Sunday night.

“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” Trump wrote.

“I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country,” he continued.

“And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History.”
