Showing Original Post only (View all)So, America, it's come to this...a 79 year old short fingered vulgarian screams at the POPE to "get his act together" [View all]
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2676704361/"Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Leo said on Saturday, according to the Associated Press. Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!
Trump responded to Pope Leo's criticisms on Sunday on Truth Social.
"Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about 'fear' of the Trump Administration, but doesnt 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," Trump wrote. "I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesnt!"
"I dont want a Pope who thinks its 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," Trump added. "And I dont want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because Im 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 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. Its hurting him very badly and, more importantly, its hurting the Catholic Church!" Trump continued.

I'm re-reading this, thinking it might have been Gollum that wrote this one.
