Trump accuses Pope Leo of not minding Iran obtaining a nuclear bomb
US President Donald Trump accused Pope Leo of being weak on Iran and foreign policy in a lengthy post criticizing the pontiff’s views and recent comments about the Trump administration.
“I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote, arguing that the pope’s positions on global issues were misguided.
Trump also called the pontiff “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy,” while criticizing him for speaking about “fear” of the Trump administration.
The US president said the pope should “focus on being a great pope, not a politician,” claiming the Catholic Church was being harmed by what he described as political interventions.
