Der neue amerikanische Papst Trolle Trump in aller ersten Rede – Papst Leo XIV zitierte seinen Vorgänger, indem er der Welt sagte, er solle „Brücken bauen“, nicht Wände.

Look, I don’t care much for the papacy and think it’s all a bunch of make believe, but popes are serious people. They don’t „troll,“ they literally pontificate what they believe are messages of significant importance. He’s not trying to get a zinger in on Trump to rile him up. He’s the Pope, he very likely means what he says and is saying it because he believes it’s the right message, not because he’s „trolling“ anyone.

MAGA in full meltdown mode right now.

Some one should let MJT know the devil is back. And it’s the Pope. Again.

I’m not saying that the US is headed for an interdiction, but if any of you have any Catholic sacraments you need to get done, you may want to get those done sooner than later.

the message is clear. but, why did it come 10 years too late?

Trump supporters thrive on outrage and victimhood. Their whole platform and ideology is centered around their culture wars and their petty grievances. Their politics and religion are inseparable and form the basis of their identities.

> conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.

> “Sorry, Catholics. This new Pope is an open borders globalist. He will be pushing for abortion soon. This isn’t a guess. You can scroll his X account and see what he’s been up to,” alt-right conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich griped on X.

> Newsmax anchor Rob Schmitt grumbled that this “Pope better not be woke.”

> Steve Bannon warned about Prevost’s views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.

> “I do think one of the dark horses — and unfortunately one of the most progressive — is Cardinal Prevost… he’s certainly on the shortlist,”

See how MAGA thinks the world revolves around them and that it’s necessary for the Pope to support *their* ideology? That it’s somehow the Pope’s mission to ingratiate himself with them?

The Pope is a *global* leader, but these MAGA fanatics are under the impression that he should only serve them and their beliefs.

And within mere hours of the announcement, they’re already resorting to politicizing the situation—as they typically do—spamming social media with clickbait posts that include their party’s favorite buzzwords and epithets, and while they drum up more needless outrage and insist that this is just another example of *their* persecution at the hands of „globalist“ oppressors.

And what really illustrates the hypocrisy of the religious right, is how they responded to this former Tweet from Provest:

> “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others,” Prevost tweeted earlier this year, referencing comments the vice president made about Christians needing to “prioritize” their love.

Apparently, following the teachings of Jesus Christ is „woke.“ Messages of unconditional love are „woke.“

Oof, wait until conservatives learn what the Bible has to say about treating foreigners…

This is a pretty glaring example of how terms like „woke“ and „Marxist“ have become blanket catchwords for conservatives that mean very little outside of „I vehemently disagree with you because you don’t share the same views towards certain vulnerable groups as I do,“ or because „you don’t subscribe to the same dogma as me,“ „you don’t identity with the same things I do,“ „you don’t believe in a social order that preserves a white, Christian hegemony,“ „you don’t prioritize certain groups over others.“

And oh no! The Pope was critical of JD Vance and Trump! Must mean he’s a globalist, deep state puppet whose sole objective is to tyrannize the MAGA population.

> …social media personality Joey Mannarino groused that “the new Pope has recently attacked JD Vance, shown solidarity with Kilmar Abrego-Garcia and begged Trump to open the borders like Biden had them,” adding that “this guy is worse than Francis.”

> In a separate tweet, he went even further, calling him a “liberal piece of s***” and insisting that “we’re f***ed.” Mannarino’s spouse Ada Lluch, who credits Trump for the couple getting married (they’ve since separated), complained that the “new pope suffers from the woke mind virus.”

> “In case you’re wondering why they picked an American to be a Pope for the first time in history,” MAGA influencer Vince Langman, sharing a 2015 tweet of Prevost criticizing Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, whined. “He’s a WOKE Never Trumper liberal. That’s why!”

See here again, they are defined by who is victimizing them, it forms the foundation of their identity. They cannot separate their politics from their persona.

> [Laura] Loomer lamented about the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and claimed he “is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,” adding that it’s “GROSS” that he is now in charge of the Vatican.

> “The new Pope once retweeted a post about how we need to keep praying for career criminal & drug addict George Floyd,” she raged. “The tweet said, ‘May all hatred, violence and prejudice be eradicated.’ What prejudice? Is that another way to spell FENTANYL OVERDOSE? MARXIST POPE!”

> „They chose a globalist and woke Pope from the West ON PURPOSE” to criticize the president…

More epithets and pejoratives, more whining, more grievances. It’s constantly them vs the other; the enemy. It’s always a conspiracy theory or plot—conjured up by some vague, enigmatic force—to undermine them, their beliefs, their cause, their leader, their culture. They must always be at the center of some grand machination, some scheme concocted by this shadowy overlord to persecute them.

that’ll do, pope. That’ll do.

Does the new pope have a Chicago accent?

He only said „build bridges“, not the „not walls“ part, if you read the article.

Not everything is about Trump

“Troll?”

Can we stop?

Pontifex literally means „bridge builder.“

This isn’t trolling. This is preaching.

Smoke and mirrors.

I would prefer it if presidents and popes communicated and gave speeches. Trolling is for children and im tired of any statement that calls out someone or their behavior being called “trolling”

Coward. Call him out for real
