President Donald Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV on Saturday after the pontiff met with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Trump expressed his views on Truth Social, stating, "Someone should explain to the Pope that the Mayor of Chicago is useless, and that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon!" Johnson, who visited Rome with a delegation, presented the pope with gifts including local Chicago items and a hat that read "Immigrants Make America Greater." This meeting and the gifts were perceived as a message to Trump, who has been in conflict with Johnson over immigration policies. Trump has previously accused Johnson of endangering ICE officers and has called for his imprisonment. The pope has also criticized the Trump administration's policies, particularly regarding immigration and capital punishment.
