Pope Leo XIV. Born in Chicago.
So how's Trump going to make this all about himself? The mind reels at the possibilities.

Standard template: If the people like Leo, he "made a deal" with the cardinals (in other words, he "held all the cards" haha). If the people don't like Leo, it will be Biden's fault. Nothing whatsoever about actual religion.

Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church today is the first pope from the United States.
A member of the Order of St. Augustine, he resembles the late Pope Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants.
So...MAGA is gonna hate him.

Everything Trump does benefits the wealthy...the trade deal will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Aston Martin's, & Range Rovers.
*No other consumer good received carveouts.
The wealthy folks get cheaper Bentleys, the Trump Family makes 2.9 Billion on a crypto scam and the avg. MAGA family can have 3 dolls and 5 pencils...any questions?

there is a window of naive optimism (influenced by Francis), that selecting a counter to rightwing hate would be strategically served by having an a fearless american pope.
but on its own, empathetic Christians have no chance vs the cult of MAGA.
in summary, if we are counting on religion to save us, then [unresolved 'whys' of the cosmos] help us all.

Seems pretty obvious: even the Vatican is MAGA, for what better way to honor America (and by extension Trump) than to select an American pope!

That didn't take too long. MAGA is bashing Pope Leo. What else do you expect from a bunch of hate mongers.

Welp, so much for my idea. Trump is sure to follow suit. Vance too I'd imagine.
