If you were pope, would you really want Trump to think you’re ‘great’? Considering all that generally means is loyalty to him?

[Doctor Phibes]

"He also suggested that the pontiff was elected "because he was American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J Trump".
"If I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican."

If we can't trust a multiple Peace Prize winner owner, who can we trust?

This is simply a matter of longevity. Leo will be there long after Trump has faded. The man's doing his job to denounce the worst of human behavior.

I think the older you get the more you understand the countervailing pressures that keep us from extinction.

[Renauda]

Leo is proving himself to be to Donald Trump what John Paul II was to the Polish Communists and Kremlin.

I certainly hope that grows legs and helps to carry Trumpigula to his political demise.

I’d love to be in the GOP strategy sessions.

“Gee, we’re on track to get our asses handed to us in the midterms. What should we do?”

“Pick a fight with the Pope?”

This seems like a good thread for your periodic reminder that the man fighting the pope has a sorceress as a spiritual advisor.
