Donald Trump's late-night social media posts attacking Pope Leo XIV have ignited a political firestorm, leading to renewed demands for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president deemed unfit for duty. In his posts, Trump criticized the Pope's stance on crime and foreign policy, suggesting that the pontiff failed to acknowledge the fears faced by religious organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. He further escalated tensions by claiming that Pope Leo's papacy was influenced by his own actions and accused him of aligning with 'Obama sympathizers' and the 'Radical Left.' In response, Pope Leo XIV offered a measured rebuttal, stating that Trump's interpretation of his message misunderstands the Gospel's call for peace. This exchange has intensified scrutiny of Trump's behavior, with former CIA director John Brennan stating that the 25th Amendment was likely written with Trump in mind, as calls for its invocation have surged online. The controversy underscores ongoing concerns regarding Trump's suitability for the presidency.
