Pope Leo and President Trump's war of words
A historic rift between the White House and the Vatican is widening today as Pope Leo XIV, the first American to lead the Catholic Church, officially begins his 10-day tour of Africa. The journey follows a weekend of unprecedented social media attacks from President Trump, who targeted the Pontiff's stance on the war with Iran and his record on crime. The friction continued after President Trump shared an AI-generated image of himself depicted as a Jesus-like figure. Responding to backlash, the President claimed the image depicted him as a "doctor".
