President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on 29 May to criticise Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson during Johnson's visit to the Vatican, calling him 'useless' and urging the Pope to take note. 'Someone should explain to the Pope that the Mayor of Chicago is useless, and that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon!,' Trump wrote, signing off as 'President DONALD J. TRUMP.'
Johnson was in Rome leading a 46-person delegation for a private audience with Pope Leo XIV, the Chicago-born pontiff who was meeting with his hometown's mayor for the first time since his election to the papacy. Johnson described the encounter as 'one of the most awe-inspiring and humbling experiences of my life.'washingtontimes
