Trump Continues His Foolish War with the Pope. It Will Cost Republicans Votes

Trump pulled his offending depiction of himself as Jesus Christ. But he continues to fight the church.

Trump Depicts Himself as Jesus

Trump took that image down, but claimed he was depicting himself as a “doctor”.

Vance said it was a joke.

Neither is true. This is what Trump said at the same time he posted the above image.

Pope Leo Is Weak on Crime

Truth Social: Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! 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, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. 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. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Add Catholics to the list of those Trump has offended.

Reflections on Morality

Vance Flies to Italy to Support Victor Orban

Orban was crushed in the election. Vance’s meddling likely contributed to the enormous loss.

One would think that after all of the above, that Trump would try to shove it all under the rug.

Instead, Trump defends the attack.

Approval Ratings

Father Joseph DeMarzo

A Catholic priest unleashes a viral takedown of Donald Trump after he attacked Pope Leo and posted an image of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man.

X Link: You are only a man @realDonaldTrump , and someday you will stand before our Lord Jesus Christ. You claim our Holy Father @Pontifex is weak, but it takes more strength to do what one should rather than simply what one wants.

You intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of stopping drugs and criminals from entering our country, and under Nicolás Maduro you described the regime in terms of narco-terrorism. My qualm is the name games you play. Do you think you can simply legitimize actions by denoting terminology to suit your interest? This you did.

In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu undermine the true meaning of justice through continued acts of unconscionable war crimes, all in the name of “self-defense.” But with the Lord, there will be no altering of words and their meaning; all that will be left is the truth of what really happened. You call the Holy Father weak because he calls for peace? What is weak is bombing children in Gaza in the name of national interest. What is weak is saying this is God’s country, yet by your actions you act as an enemy of the cross.

It is a shame that, in many respects, the COVID situation could have been handled better by the Church, but do you not consider the blunder of Operation Warp Speed? To this day, questions and debates about the long-term effects of the vaccines remain, and this was under your authority, so pluck the splinter out of your own eye.

Tuesday evening Trump posted this.

Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable. Thank you for your attention to this matter. AMERICA IS BACK!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Pope Leo never said or suggested Iran should have a nuclear weapon. And the Pope is certainly against Iran killing protesters.

Trump bombed a hospital, killed thousands of innocent people, and threatened to wipe out an entire civilization.

The irony is Trump wanted a regime change then gave up on the idea. The result is an even worse regime is now in power.

Pope Leo to Trump: ‘There Is a Better Way’

The New York Times reports Pope Leo to Trump: ‘There Is a Better Way’

One world leader is immune to threats from President Trump.

He has no worries about jacked-up tariffs. His tiny spot of a state lacks an Arctic land mass to be coveted. He’s not part of a military alliance that can be sundered on a whim. A Venezuelan-style kidnapping is highly unlikely. Taking on Mr. Trump, in a spiritual sort of way, can even be seen as part of his job description.

This statesman — the term is the least important part of his job portfolio — is Pope Leo XIV, the Vicar of Christ, supreme pontiff of the universal church and, especially after this week, the world’s strongest moral voice against Mr. Trump’s war making. He is unburdened by the calculations other heads of state have to consider in deciding whether to challenge or appease a vengeful American president.

In fact, Leo’s stand is part of a much larger purpose: to present a worldview in contrast, in all ways, to Trumpism. His comments over the past year have reflected a deep-seated commitment to multilateralism, the common good, decency, respectful debate and the rule of law.

After three American cardinals and close allies of Leo reinforced his criticisms in a “60 Minutes” interview on Sunday, Mr. Trump followed the broadcast with a social media tirade against Leo, calling him “Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons” and a caterer to the “Radical Left.” He said Leo should focus less on being a “Politician.” Even more American Catholic leaders then rallied to support their pontiff. Mr. Trump refused to apologize.

The pope had his own swift response to Mr. Trump’s words. “I am not a politician, and I do not want to enter into a debate with him,” he said of the American president. The message of the Gospel should not “be abused, as some are doing.”

“I continue to speak strongly against war, seeking to promote peace, dialogue and multilateralism among states to find solutions to problems,” he told reporters traveling with him on a plane to Algiers. “Too many people are suffering today, too many innocent lives have been lost, and I believe someone must stand up and say there is a better way.”

Some Vatican officials said Leo’s words held important nuances. “He did not attack Trump,” the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, under secretary for the Vatican’s department of culture and education told me. “He attacked Trump’s logic.”

Father Spadaro said there was an indirect but immediate benefit of Mr. Trump’s papal excoriation: He unified the sharply divided left and right of the American bishops into coming to the pope’s defense. “It’s a kind of miracle,” he said, perched on a reception room couch in Vatican offices. He said he has detected in Leo, as the war has progressed, a greater sense of comfort in being “more straightforward” in his critiques.

Leo’s predecessor, Francis, was seen by many as a moral beacon by those “who desperately seek a light inside the darkness of Donald Trump,” David Gibson wrote in these pages a year ago. He posed the question of who might succeed Francis in this role.

The answer now seems clear.

New Image of Trump With Christ

Trump removed his image of Trump as Christ, only to replace it with an image of Christ blessing or consoling Trump.

A Battle Trump Will Lose

Fighting the Pope is a battle Trump can’t win. It can only cost Trump more votes.

Internal Republican fighting is the same story. It can only cost more votes.

If you are a Democrat (I am not, but I am not Republican either) you should be cheering these asinine fights by Trump.

The question now is not whether there will be a “Blue Wave” in November. Rather it’s how big that wave will be.

My base case is Republicans lose the House and the Senate. It’s possible they lose as many as six Senate seats.

For discussion, please see How Big Will the “Blue Wave” Be in the Midterm Elections?

What escalation will be needed next? What is left?

The US-Iran negotiation peace jawboning and Peace-Pope presidential attack jawboning provide the background noise, while US ground military assets are being brought into theater for planned ground operations likely against Hormuz local coastal Iranian attack positions. The Israelis helped Cheney and Rumsfeld con America into the Iraq war in 2002-3 (I had a window seat with 1st MEF) with fabricated and replicated false Intel on biochemical weapons of mass destruction – and have now done it to America again in 2025-2026 (with mere Bibi and maybe Epstein-blackmail influence only.) Send the Zionist bastards a bill for 10 trillion dollars payable to US taxpayers and families of dead and injured American veterans.

You’ve got to give Trump plaudits for consistency.

  • He murdered the highest spiritual leader of Iran, second in all of Shia Islam.
  • Now he is in a fight with the pope.
  • And they bombed a centuries old synagogue in Teheran, which hosts the oldest Jewish community in the world.

And the picture of him usurping the role of Christ resurrecting Epstein from the dead, guided by a demon over his shoulder.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Pope Leo XIV won’t stop talking about religion?

He’s all “the gospel says this” and “Jesus taught us that” – dude, we get it, you’re head of the worldwide Catholic Church. But does that really make you an expert?

As our Catholic Vice President JD Vance, who has a book coming out on his conversion to Catholicism, said, “I think it’s very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.”

Exactly. Vance has been a Catholic since the year Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, so I’d take his warning seriously, pope. He’s six years deep into the Catholic faith – you don’t wanna mess with him. He’s part of the new Catholicism, the one that’s afraid to say “transubstantiation” because it sounds woke and has “trans” in it.

All this started when Pope Leo took a ridiculous “war is bad” stance and found himself facing off against U.S. figures like Vance, President Donald Trump, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and even Fox News host Sean Hannity, who recently asked of the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics: “Have you even read the Bible?”

That’s a great question, Sean. We know President Trump has definitely read the Bible, because he sold ones with his name on them, and I can’t imagine he’d sell a product he can’t 100% guarantee. Does Pope Leo sell a Bible with his name on it? That’s the kind of question the Vatican needs to answer before its leader goes out and opines on whether it’s moral to kill lots of people to distract from a child sex trafficking scandal.

Historians do not have an exact, universally accepted count, but several dozen popes were arrested, exiled, or otherwise forcibly deposed, and roughly a few dozen more died violently (mostly in the Church’s first centuries). 

## Violent and murdered popes

– Early tradition holds that many of the first popes died as martyrs under Roman persecution, though the exact number is debated because sources are late and sometimes legendary. 
– A smaller, better-documented group were clearly **murdered** in the Middle Ages (poisoned, strangled, or killed in political violence), including John VIII, Stephen VI, Leo V, John X, John XII, Benedict VI, John XIV, Clement II, and probably Celestine V. 

## Arrested, exiled, or deposed popes

– Several popes were arrested, imprisoned, or exiled by emperors, kings, or rival factions, especially in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages; examples include Pontian, who was condemned to the Sardinian mines and died in exile, and Boniface VIII, who was abducted by agents of the French king. 
– Because records before around the year 1000 are incomplete and categories (martyrdom vs. murder vs. judicial execution vs. exile) blur together, modern scholars usually describe these cases individually rather than giving a single precise total. 

## Why no exact number?

– Early papal lists mix history and hagiography, so claims that “the first 29 popes were all martyred” are not treated as strict historical statistics today. 
– Modern reference works therefore provide lists of popes who died violently or were deposed, but they do not agree on a final count, and new scholarship occasionally revises earlier claims.

To say a Pope is weak on crime is true and as it should be. Religion is about forgiveness. Forgive us our trespasses and those who trespass against us. Remember the Lord’s Prayer?

It is what confession is all about. Repent and you shall be forgiven.

You may not subscribe to this but it is what the bible encourages and that is clearly in realm of the Popes duties.

There were no “40,000” killed in Iran. The actual total is about 3,000 including about 280 policemen. Mossad and the CIA armed their agents within Iran before first protest began. They also snuck in thousands of Starlink terminals in anticipation of the internet being shut down. The protests were initially only about the collapse in the currency – that Scott Bessent admitted engineering. After all, he worked for George Soros when they collapsed the pound sterling. Once the legitimate protests started, the armed agents of Mossad and the CIA started shooting cops and protesters. Same as the Maidan coup. Lather, rinse, repeat. That’s how they do color revolutions. Dumbass Mike Pompeo even asked people to pray for the Mossad agents who were among the crowds. What they didn’t count on was Russia showing Iran how to not only deactivate the Starlink terminals but to find those who had the terminals – who were promptly scooped up. Oops. Color revolution stymied. Then the number dead kept increasing in western media: 5,000 … 10,000…30,000 … 45,000. Once they start lying, it’s go big or go home.

A little hard to interpret what the meaning of raising Epstein from the dead could be.
Especially since the story of Lazarus features rich bastards in hell begging for a drop of water for their parched mouths.

By the way, Jesus went to pains to explain that his parables were not to be taken literally. Moreover, the Bible does not really refer to going to heaven/hell as destinations for people.

Don’t forget that Trump had had an entire term where he hadn’t started a war.

Most voters (all voters?) realize that the 2 candidates are not saints and so most voters then vote for what benefits THEM most (self interest) over what might benefit society most (altruism).

This is why the very poor vote for whomever promises the most free hand outs.
It’s why very religious people vote against abortion or drag queen story hour or sex changes for kids or men in women’s sports etc.
Its why others voted to close the border.

When we had Kamala (Biden) vs. Trump, it came down to “pick your poison”. It will probably be the same in 2028.

The system filters out anybody who might have the best interests of the rabble in mind.

Well Italy has bailed on the defense agreement with Israel so not sure if Trump had anything to do with that…

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr71184ex91o

Italy will not renew its defence agreement with Israel, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has said.
Meloni said her government had decided to suspend the renewal, which happens every five years, “in view of the current situation”, without offering specifics.
Relations between Rome and Tel Aviv, which have historically been solid, have recently soured.
Last week, Italy summoned the Israeli ambassador to Rome after warning shots were fired by Israeli forces at a convoy of Italian UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, damaging one vehicle but causing no injuries.
On Monday, Israel in turn summoned Italy’s ambassador to protest comments by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who had condemned Israel’s “unacceptable attacks” on civilians in Lebanon.

This week it’s Italy, last week was South Korea, week before that it was Spain. The anti-Israel list grows….

How can you you not like a prime minister whose name is “melons”? Looks like she can really the political winds.

MAGA would be singing a very different tune if the Pope were cheering on Operation Epstein Files.

Trump, the previous pope, Biden, local government hacks, and mass media were all for the vaxes and boosters. Something they could all agree on, including all sorts of authoritarian measures along the way.

If that was honestly a doctor image then he would leave it up. His lies are so omnipresent that if he just keeps talking, the lies will announce themselves. My neighbor’s ten year old can figure this stuff out.

It was not posted for you and me. It was posted for the maga crowd. He can delete it but it has accomplished his. Goal. Just like when they call out people or try to punish those who disagree. By the time the truth catches up the maga crowd has accepted it as trump and can not own the the fact they were duped.

I recently went through his 18 min speech to Congress.
I couldn’t find a single phrase that was not either incorrect or deceptive.

It’s funny, I always expected the Antichrist to mix a fair amount of truth into the stream of lies. Just to keep us on our toes.

Even Hitler said many sensible things and used correct grammar.
He also drank water.

People do not stray because they are attracted to darkness.
They stray because they are not identifying the source of the light.

Furthermore, real evil is almost always a collective thing.
People stray in herds, but only come to their sense one by one.
