Trump hits out at Pope Leo in extraordinary attack calling him 'weak' and 'terrible'

President Trump has launched an extraordinary attack on the Pope, demanding he must not "criticise the President". The outburst was posted on his social media platform, accusing the Pope of being "weak on crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy." The US President has escalated his offensive against the Catholic Church, bringing up the 2020 Covid pandemic during which he claims priests were threatened with arrest for holding church services. In his continued condemnation, Trump took a personal swipe at Pope Leo, declaring, "I like his brother Louis much better". He said: "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. "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... "Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician." The criticism comes after the Pope's comments during a prayer service in Vatican City on Saturday. He urged world leaders to end hostilities and appealed for peace. Addressing an evening peace vigil at St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City on Saturday, the first US-born pope made a direct appeal to global leaders to restart discussions. Leading the service, he stated: "Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life." While the Iran-US conflict was not specifically mentioned, the remarks were delivered as talks between the two nations were taking place in Pakistan. Leo also warned against what he described as "that delusion of omnipotence that surrounds us and is becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive".
