Donald Trump Lashes Out at Pope Leo for Meeting With Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson

President Donald Trump hit out at Pope Leo XIV on Saturday after seeing photos of the pontiff meeting with Brandon Johnson, the mayor of the pope’s hometown of Chicago.

“Someone should explain to the Pope that the Mayor of Chicago is useless, and that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the 79-year-old commander-in-chief wrote on Truth Social in the midst of a prolific stretch of posting.

The president also posted some of the mayor’s own photos from the trip, suggesting he’s lurking on social media to monitor his political rivals.

Johnson took a large delegation of leaders with him on his trip to Rome this week and met with Leo at the Vatican on Thursday.

Slobfather's just jealous the Pope didn't see him first.

does a Pope need to get anyone's approval for who they will meet with??? Let alone a dumbazz like 47? Why can't this jerk just mind his own freaking business?

16. Perhaps someone should explain to trump

that not everyone agrees money is the be all to end all! Most of the decent population considers empathy (OMG, that word!), compassion (ditto!), and helping others (perish the thought!) to be of more importance than a great conglomeration of worthless paper and computer digits. Most people, I believe, would be happy enough to just have the amount needed to pay their bills and living expenses comfortably, and maybe take a trip to another state every great once in a while, as well as being able to actually give to causes and people they believe in. That's the mark of an conscious, aware individual. S/He knows the world doesn't revolve around him and, with only one life to live, would like to leave a good mark on the world before s/he passes.

And trump has no idea what anyone talking like this means... nor will he ever. Please die soon, and have a "meeting" with that evangelical god your "good christians" worship. Perhaps He could explain what all that red text in the bibles actually mean.
