FALSE

While Donald Trump and Pope Francis had a long-standing public feud, the criticisms were not directed at the Pope's advocacy for peace. Instead, the conflict focused on immigration policy and the Mexico border wall 310. Trump labeled Francis disgraceful specifically because the pontiff questioned Trump's Christian faith in relation to his border rhetoric 89. Other sources indicate that Trump actually praised Francis at the start of his papacy and later ordered flags to half-staff in his honor 610. The claim likely confuses Francis with his successor, Pope Leo XIV, whom Trump criticized as weak on nuclear weapons regarding Iran 14. In response to Pope Leo XIV, Trump reportedly used the phrase Blessed are the peacemakers 1112.
