52. It's lack of respect for the pope.
Wed Apr 15, 2026, 10:49 AM

And feeling that Trump is challenging the pope himself and trying to insert himself in heirachy above the pope, who is the vicar of Christ. Trump has never had morals, but he hasn't tried to exert himself over Christianity before. Now he's meddling with the church.

What's next? Will he go to war against the Vatican?
