'Unacceptable': Italian PM slams Trump’s Pope comments
Story by Ryan Grenoble • 2h •

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni unequivocally criticized President Donald Trump Monday for engaging in a bizarre feud with Pope Leo XIV, calling Trump’s attacks “unacceptable.”

“I find President Trump’s words regarding the Holy Father to be unacceptable,” Meloni, a close ally of Trump, said in a terse written statement.


"The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, and it is right and normal for him to call for peace and to condemn every form of war," she concluded.

Trump went after the pope in a lengthy social media message over the weekend, calling him “WEAK on Crime and terrible for Foreign Policy,” apparently in response to Leo using his office to support the idea of global peace.

BREAKING : Italian 🇮🇹 Georgia Meloni becomes the first PM in the world to belt Trump for his remarks on Pope 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump –– "The Pope is weak against crime and he is not doing his job well. He is terrible for foreign policy"

🇮🇹 Meloni –– 🔥 "Trump's words toward the Holy Father are unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church and it is right and normal for him to call for peace and to condemn every form of war"

Trump expected support at Strait of Hormuz from Meloni but she's exposing his hypocrisy instead 🤣
