US EditionVatican visitors slam Trump over attacks on the US-born pope's message of peace
Visitors called Trump’s attack on Pope Leo XIV inappropriate as the pope’s warning on war rhetoric drew support from tourists and Vatican observers.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV on social media, calling him "WEAK" and "captive to the radical left" after the Pope labeled his threats toward Iran "truly unacceptable."
- This extraordinary clash stems from the Pope's calls to soften war rhetoric, which prompted Trump to explode in a rant and briefly post an image of himself as Jesus before deleting it.
- Italian newspapers reported the "outrage" and "shock attack," while The Rev. Antonio Spadaro stated the President is "powerless" against a moral voice, unable to dominate with his typical language.
- Visitors at the Vatican expressed disbelief at the broadside, with U.S. tourist Paul Sarauskas calling it "absurd" and stating Trump needs to "keep his nose out of religion."
- While the Pope is away on a 10-day trip to Africa, the Vatican maintains its focus on wider global concerns, distancing itself from the American President's unprecedented criticism.
