Italian PM Meloni Slams Trump Over ‘Unacceptable’ Pope Leo XIV Criticism
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has publicly condemned former President Donald Trump’s remarks about Pope Leo XIV, calling them “unacceptable.” She defended the pontiff’s role in promoting peace and denounced any attack on his office. Trump had accused the first American pope of being weak on crime and misguided on foreign policy after the pontiff voiced concerns about U.S. immigration policies and the conflict with Iran. “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” Trump wrote, despite no evidence that the Pope supported such a view. The former president also complained that the Pope unfairly criticized him while he touted record-low crime rates and a booming stock market. Trump later shared—and then deleted—an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus healing the sick, claiming he thought it showed him in a doctor’s role.
