US President Donald Trump escalates a public feud with Pope Leo XIV over escalating tensions surrounding Iran, nuclear threats, and humanitarian claims. The controversy intensified after Trump, in a series of Truth Social posts, sharply criticized Pope Leo XIV’s comments on US foreign policy and the ongoing Iran crisis. The president accused Iran of being responsible for the deaths of “at least 42,000 innocent protesters” and reiterated his strong stance against any possibility of Iran developing nuclear weapons. The situation escalated further as Trump directly attacked the Pope, calling him “weak on crime” and “terrible on foreign policy,” while insisting that his leadership was essential in preventing global instability.

Donald Trump delivers one of his most provocative remarks yet, claiming that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was “kissing my a**” during a critical phase of rising tensions linked to the Iran conflict. Trump alleges that the Saudi leader initially expected weak leadership from Washington, but quickly recalibrated as the US asserted its strength on the global stage. The comment, blunt and controversial, underscores Trump’s broader claim that America’s position in the Middle East has dramatically shifted in its favor. But the moment doesn’t end there. In a surprising pivot, Trump goes on to praise Mohammed bin Salman, calling him a “fantastic man” and a “winner.” WATCH
