Trump targets Pope Leo XIV for opposing war.

Now Rubio is sent to:

Undermine moral authority.

Then repair optics.

This is how credibility erodes.

Rubio flies to Rome days after Trump attacks the Pope.....

A U.S. administration picking fights with a religious leader over anti-war views.

That’s not strategy.

That’s political blasphemy dressed as diplomacy.😡
