The contrast between President Trump and Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV couldn’t be more stark, politically, personally, or in their world views.

The 73-year-old Florida man appears to be a staunch Trump supporter who uses his Facebook account to go on the attack.

Pope Leo XIV had an initial one-word response when asked by a reporter on Monday if he had a message for his native United States. It left observers wondering if the pontiff would soon have more to say about President Donald Trump’s policies.

He lashed out at Martha Raddatz for suggesting “Pope Leo’s selection had nothing to do with Donald Trump,” which she didn’t even say.

Donald Trump has implied that he was involved in the election of Pope Leo XIV, who was born in Chicago, as the new pope.

Pope Leo XIV’s oldest brother stood by his decision to share a social media post that referred to California Rep. Nancy Pelosi as a “drunk c–t,” declaring Monday, “I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it.

During his first press conference, the pontiff gave a message that could well have been directed at Donald Trump.
