Donald Trump fires back at Pope Leo with chilling two-word attack

 

Last week, Pope Leo XIV stated that Donald Trump’s actions in Iran are “provoking more hatred” and that he could be acting against international law if he struck civilian infrastructure. Now, the president has hit back at the American pope with a shocking claim.

Pope Leo has been very vocal about how much he opposes the war in Iran, not least the actions of President Donald Trump. During a prayer service at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, he called out the “delusion of omnipotence that surrounds us and is becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.”

Pope Leo said, “Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life.

Moreover, a few days earlier, Pope Leo had urged Trump and the other world leaders included in the conclift to take a step back.

“I would simply say, once again, what I said in the ‘Urbi et Orbi’ message on Sunday: asking all people of goodwill to search, always, for peace and not violence; to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and which is not resolving anything,” the American-born pope said.

He further stated that the situation in the Middle East is “only provoking more hatred,” urging leaders to “come back to the table” to find a peaceful solution. Leo also reminded Donald Trump that striking civilian infrastructure is against international law.

“Let’s remember especially the innocent children, the elderly, the sick, so many people who have already become or will become victims of this continued warfare,” Pope Leo continued, calling on citizens of all countries to contact their political leaders and “tell them to work for peace and to reject war.”

Now, Donald Trump has responded, and did so in his somewhat trademark way. On social media, the U.S president lashed out against Pope Leo’s criticism over the war in Iran, calling the leader of the Catholic Church “weak” on crime as well as being “terrible” for foreign policy.

“I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He also claimed that Pope Leo shouldn’t be a pope if it weren’t for Donald Trump himself.

“Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise,” Trump added. “He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump.”

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

More people are coming out as Aegosexual – here’s what it means

  As discussions around sexuality become more layered, so does the vocabulary used to describe them. One term now drawing attention is aegosexual, an “identity-less” experience that’s defined by “disconnection.” With gender and sexuality now part of everyday conversation, it’s no surprise that a growing number of new labels are finding their way into the mainstream. Aegosexuality, part of the asexual spectrum, describes people who experience arousal or desire without wanting to engage in sexual activity. At its core, the identity centers on a disconnect between experiencing attraction and wanting to personally act on it. ‘Disconnection’ The concept was first introduced in 2012 by Canadian psychologist and sexologist Anthony Bogaert, who originally referred to it as “autochorissexualism.” Bogaert described the experience as an “identity-less sexuality,” that’s “characterized by a disconnection between their sense of self and a sexual object or target.” In practical terms, someone wh...
