Trump ‘ATTACKS’ Pope, Calls Himself ‘Messiah’ After Failed Iran Peace Talks | Faces backlash

U.S. President Donald Trump is facing intense backlash after a controversial post and remarks targeting the Pope amid escalating global tensions. Trump criticized the Pope, calling him “weak,” and shortly after shared an AI-generated image portraying himself in a Jesus-like, messiah role—sparking outrage online. The timing has raised eyebrows, coming just as fragile Iran peace talks collapse and geopolitical tensions surge. Critics have slammed the post as inappropriate and provocative, accusing Trump of blurring the line between politics and religious symbolism. Supporters, however, argue it is symbolic messaging in a high-stakes moment.
