INFOGRAPHIE – By openly taking on the Pope, the American president risks alienating a large part of Catholics.
Donald Trump, the new Jesus Christ? The American president posted on his own Truth Social network an image created by artificial intelligence where he appears to be laying his hand on the forehead of a sick person. In the illuminated sky, there is also a star-studded banner surrounded by the American eagle, archangels in combat gear, and fighter planes. Even though the publication has since been deleted, it follows a long series of invectives against Pope Leon XIV, accused of being “weak in the face of crime and catastrophic in foreign policy matters.” Is Donald Trump trying to turn Catholics against him? By targeting the pontiff, he runs the risk of losing some of his loyal supporters as the midterm elections approach in early November.
