Analysis Summary
Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV on Truth Social for criticizing the Iran war, calling him 'WEAK on Crime,' then posted an AI meme depicting himself as Jesus healing the sick — which he later deleted after bipartisan backlash. Meanwhile, a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire went into effect Thursday and Reps. Swalwell and Gonzales both announced their resignations from Congress. The Pope's opposition to military spending and Trump's increasingly hostile tone toward religious institutions questioning the Iran war represents a notable escalation in a conflict that has already reshaped US alliances with traditional partners.
