New Pope's 2025 Tweets Reveal SHOCKING DETAILS | Did Robert Target Trump & Vance in Social Media?

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts. Before his election, he subtly criticized Vice President JD Vance, reposted content calling out Donald Trump's stance on immigration, and expressed support for Pope Francis' health. His posts reflect a compassionate stance on immigration, Dreamers, gun reform, and climate action-drawing cheers from liberals and concern from right-wing commentators.
