Vances Comes To Trump’s Defense
Vice President JD Vance is standing firm behind President Donald Trump after a humorous Truth Social post showing the president in papal attire triggered a wave of outrage from the left and legacy media figures.
Former Bush aide and neoconservative war hawk Bill Kristol accused Trump of “mocking” the late Pope Francis and demanded a response from Vance. But the vice president wasn’t having it.
“I’m fine with people telling jokes,” Vance responded on X. “What I’m not fine with is starting endless wars that kill thousands of Americans.”
Vance, a devout Catholic since 2019, made it clear: Trump’s post was satire—not sacrilege.
Left-Wing Meltdown Over a Meme
The image, which playfully depicted Trump in papal robes, was reposted by the official White House account, causing immediate backlash from Democrat politicians and liberal Catholic groups.
New York’s Catholic Bishops declared:
“We just buried our beloved Pope Francis… Do not mock us.”
California Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu chimed in:
“As a Catholic, I’m offended.”
But instead of addressing Biden’s economic collapse—including negative GDP growth—Lieu fixated on a meme.
Vance: I Met the Pope Hours Before His Passing
Vice President Vance shared a powerful reflection on his final conversation with Pope Francis.
“It’s a reminder from God—you never know when your last day will come.”
The Vatican has confirmed that May 7 will begin the conclave to elect Pope Francis’ successor.
Graham: Trump for Pope? Why Not!
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) embraced the humor in Trump’s AI-generated image:
“A picture’s worth a thousand words… There’s strong momentum for President Trump to be the next Pope!”
He added:
“Next week is crucial as the papal conclave convenes. More updates to come!”
Final Thought: The Real Offense? Ignoring the Issues That Matter
While the media obsesses over Trump’s memes, millions of Americans are struggling with Biden’s inflation, open borders, and skyrocketing gas prices. President Trump, meanwhile, continues to dominate the global conversation—and refuses to back down.
