New Pope Blasted Trump, Vance On X Before Election — And Now He’s In The Vatican
President Trump welcomed the new pope — though Pope Leo XIV hasn’t always welcomed him.

Tweets condemning Trump date back to 2015, when he shared a story from the Washington Post about Trump's "anti-immigrant rhetoric."
