Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts.

Trump SURPRISING First Reaction to First American Pope, Calls It ‘Great Honor’ Despite Past Tensions

Donald Trump called it a “Great Honor” as Robert Prevost became the first American pope, taking the name Leo XIV. The 69-year-old former Chicago bishop's election stunned the world and thrilled the U.S. But past tensions linger — Leo XIV previously criticized U.S. leaders, including Vice President JD Vance.
