In His Latest Deranged Rant, Trump Claims the Pope Is Catering to the “Radical Left”
The president is just inches from saying the conclave was rigged, isn’t he?

This one goes into the Insane Post Hall of Fame.

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP


I am not a big fan of the institutional Holy Mother Church. It had problems long before it became an international conspiracy to obstruct justice in crimes against children. But, my Lord above, this pope is being told he is a bad pope because he doesn’t recognize the theological significance of the election results in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and because he’s not the crime buster that Pope Eliot Ness was. The president also is just inches from saying the conclave was RIGGED the way EVERYBODY KNOWS the 2020 election was so that a cardinal with Trump derangement syndrome (!) would sit in the Chair of Peter. The Holy Spirit works in mysterious ways, but that would have been a doozy. I am surprised, however, to discover that there now seem to be a considerable number of conservative Roman Catholics who have found their own door into the Cafeteria. Welcome! Have some snickerdoodles.
