New Pope Leo XIV’s resurfaced tweets reveal what he really thinks about Trump

Despite being an American, the new Pope has made his thoughts clear on President Donald Trump and his immigration crackdown.

Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected as the first pope from the the US, with white smoke coming from the Vatican yesterday after the Catholic Church’s conclave.

The 69-year-old has repeatedly criticised Trump’s administration, even retweeting posts on family’s being split up as immigrants are sent back to their home countries.

On his social media accounts, Cardinal Prevost – who will now be known as Pope Leo XIV – discussed the deportation of dad-of-three Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salavador.

It reads: ‘Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?’

Pope Leo has also shared several articles on Vice President JD Vance.

One post is titled: ‘JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.’

In 2018, he also shared a post which read: ‘There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages.

‘This is being carried out in our name and the shame is on us all.’

The Chicago-born Pope spent most of his career in Latin America, and even became a naturalised citizen of Peru.

In 2018 he shared a letter from Peru’s Catholic leaders on ‘stopping the separation of migrant children from their parents’.

The letter read: ‘In our Latin American region and specifically Peru, we have experience dealing with migration.

‘Thousands of Venezuelans come through our border as they flee the harsh political and economic reality their country is going through.

‘We here in Peru and in neighboring countries have welcomed them to help them overcome, through our means, their issues.’
