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

Donald Trump called it a ā€œGreat Honorā€ 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. Trump, however, welcomed the election warmly, writing on Truth Social that he looks forward to meeting the new pope. The moment marks a historic first for the Vatican and the United States, but political undertones remain impossible to ignore. #Trump #PopeLeoXIV #RobertPrevost #AmericanPope #VaticanNews #CatholicChurch #TruthSocial #TrumpPope #PopeElection #LeoXIV #JDVance #ReligionAndPolitics #Trump2025 #PapalNews #PopeHistory #Christianity #VaticanCity #PapalTransition #PopeTrumpMeeting #USVaticanTies ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.124~
