'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.

Thank you Meloni!!


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 🤣

1. "Weak on crime"? "Terrible on foreign policy"?

Trump thinks he's still running against Hillary and Kamala. He attacked Hillary's foreign policy record in 2016, describing it as a "disaster," accusing her of bringing "death, destruction, terrorism and weakness" to the Middle East. In 2024 he said Kamala was "weak on crime," citicizing her record as a prosecutor and U.S.-Mexico border policies.

3. He has attack phrases rattling around in his brain

When he needs to insult a Liberal, he has a limited repertoire.

What Meloni doesn't understand that he has to be fighting SOMEONE at all times. He thrives on chaos, on Stigginit. Picking a fight with Il Papa?

Better to talk about that than Epstein or his absolute idiotic fucking over of the entire planet's economy.

9. He's a bobble head with a magic 8-ball full of insults for a noggin. nt

15. That is a very accurate analogy!

[flying rabbit]

17. Well said!

2. With Orban gone, she was probably his biggest ally in Europe

Was being the key word. She was already distancing herself from him once he started the war.

He’s doing a great job isolating himself. When’s he trapped in his room with milk jars?

[Prairie Gates]

5. Yup

Just said the same below.

[erronis]

7. Probably going to start Meloni a "nasty woman. Bleeding from all those places."

[JI7]

11. Meloni is a decent person. She was never going to be his ally

She gets along well with the other European leaders.

She may still be conservative according to European standards. But that conservatism is seen as liberal in the US.

[Prairie Gates]

4. You might not like Meloni, but she is no dummy

Little reported in the US was that Meloni and the Italian far right suffered their own election a few weeks ago: they were trying to politicize the judiciary in a much pushed referendum. It failed miserably, when it was supposed to be close.

Meloni was Orban's greatest friend in Europe. She embraced him completely.

She knows that even she, looking like she would be a 15 year premier just a year ago, is now on thin ice, especially as the Italian rage at the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon promises to turn an already vibrant movement among the youth into a wide social movement. How many Americans know that Italian military serve as peacekeepers in southern Lebanon for years, or that they are fired on regularly by the IDF?

Meloni knows now for a stone fact that Trump will drag her down even in Italy. She's going to cut him loose.

[erronis]

8. It might be hard for her to cut the orange slug loose. The stench of him and the US magats is strong.

[Prairie Gates]

12. She cozied up for nothing

Her own Defense Minister was left in the lurch, vacationing with his family in Dubai when the bombing started. Embarrassing.

[Trueblue Texan]

6. I was so hoping she would lose her election, but compared to TSF...

…she seems fairly reasonable as a human being and leader. This happens when things go too far to the right.

[state of stupid]

10. What am I missing.

As far as I know the pope does not negotiate form policy or have anything to do with crime. He makes statements on
moral obligations and conditions, calls out what he sees as non-Christ like behavior. Sets the tone for the Catholic church.
He has no power to compel anyone to do as he says. Maybe Dick-less Donnie needs his so called spiritual/religious true
believers to explain it to him. Oh well what do I know?

[BurnDoubt]

13. I don't think The Naked Church Lady's...

consultations go so far as to the teachings of Christ, so maybe he can be forgiven his Ignorance.
NAH!!!

(Actually, perhaps we should refer to him as “His Ignorance” in the third-person context, and “Your Ignorance” in the first-person context.)

[state of stupid]

18. I like it and just for giggles arrogance might work as well

[BurnDoubt]

19. You're right...

it sounds more… elegante!

[MW67]

14. Have to give it to trump

He's the world's leading authority on being weak on crime and disaster foreign policy , just ask most anyone around the world "which current world leader first comes to mind as total disaster on the world stage" they know who number one is

16. Once again, T**mp's credit rating is tanking
