Trump Again Criticizes Pope, Says He Wouldn't Mind if Iran Got Nuclear Weapons

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again launched a sharp critique against Pope Francis, accusing the pontiff of endangering Catholics globally and expressing indifference to Iran potentially obtaining nuclear weapons. In a recent interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, Trump directly challenged the Pope's priorities, suggesting that Francis would rather discuss the permissibility of Iran's nuclear program than address the plight of imprisoned individuals like Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong.

Pápež by radšej hovoril o tom, že je v poriadku, ak Irán vlastní jadrovú zbraň.

"The Pope would rather talk about the fact that it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon," Trump stated, adding, "I don't think that's very good. I think he's endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people, but if that's the Pope, then fine. He thinks it's totally okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

Nemyslím si, že je to veľmi dobré. Myslím si, že tým ohrozuje veľa katolíkov a veľa ľudí, ale ak je to na pápežovi, tak dobre. Myslí si, že je úplne v poriadku, ak Irán vlastní jadrovú zbraň.

This latest verbal assault comes shortly before a planned visit by U.S. Secretary of State Marc Rubio to the Vatican, an encounter reportedly aimed at easing tensions between Washington and the Holy See. Trump's remarks echo his previous criticisms from April, where he labeled the Pope as "weak on crime" and "terrible in foreign policy," likely in response to the Pope's increasing criticism of the U.S.-backed war against Iran. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, has affirmed that Pope Francis will continue his path of "preaching the gospel of peace on all occasions, suitable or unsuitable," indicating the Vatican's steadfastness in its diplomatic and moral stance despite external pressures.
