Pop Leo says he has no fear of the Trump administration after the president lashed out at him on True Social Sunday
00:00:06
night. Trump called the Pope quote weak on crime and quote terrible on foreign policy in his post. Neither one of those
00:00:12
are his jobs. Trump later posted an AI generated image of himself as Jesus, though it looks like he deleted it and
00:00:17
told reporters that he thought the image was him as a doctor. Oh my god, he's
00:00:21
such a liar. >> I don't see the strategy here. And granted, I think Trump has had an
00:00:26
ability to zag when everyone else is zigging. But I fail to see how alienating a core constituency, the
00:00:33
Republican party, and that is evangelical Christians by taking on the pope. I mean, people say social security
00:00:38
is the third rail. But I would argue kind of the most obvious third row. Don't [ __ ] with El Papa.
00:00:43
>> Also an articulate pope, a very articulate and younger pope, American. And I think this guy is incredibly
00:00:49
popular. I think he's jealous of his popularity and his intelligence. And you
00:00:53
know, this guy's been speaking out as popes sometimes do on wars. And I think
00:00:57
he was responsibly talking the way a pope might do.
