US President Donald Trump delivered an extraordinary broadside against Pope Leo XIV on Sunday night, saying he did not think the supreme pontiff of the Catholic Church is "doing a very good job" and that "he's a very liberal person," while also suggesting the pontiff should "stop catering to the radical left."
Flying back to Washington from Florida, Trump used a lengthy social media post to sharply criticise the pope, then, after landing, continued in comments to reporters on the tarmac.
