Pope Leo just fired back at Trump after president called him ‘weak’ and ‘terrible’

Aboard a flight to Algiers, Pope Leo XIV responded with calm restraint, refusing to engage in personal attacks and stressing that his message is about peace, not politics. He warned against leaders who justify war and said he would keep speaking out without fear.

Donald Trump, however, answered with sharp criticism, calling the Pope weak and shifting the focus to politics and personal attacks.

The contrast highlights two opposing views of leadership: one rooted in moral restraint and dialogue, the other in confrontation and power.
