U.S. President Donald Trump has criticised Pope Leo XIV again, suggesting he was unaware of Iran's repressive actions against its own people and building on his criticism of the Catholic pontiff. This comes after Trump called him "weak on crime" and stated he did not want a pope who was critical of him. The criticism comes after an AI-generated image of himself resembling Jesus Christ was posted on Truth Social, which was widely condemned by religious leaders and Democratic lawmakers. The Vatican responded by calling the imagery "deeply disrespectful".
