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.

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?
