Description

Tim Miller gives his take to Nicolle Wallace on MS Now about Donald Trump’s escalating feud with Pope Leo. Tim breaks down president's lie that the pontiff said Iran should be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, JD Vance’s public posture on Catholicism, and the White House's easily debunked talking points to justify its Iran messaging. In between his fight with the pope, Trump also spent time trying to downplay sky-high gas prices and try to claim his ballroom is a national security concern.

2:25 Gonna go out on a limb and guess that if he were asked directly, the Pope would be opposed to any country having nuclear weapons. Just a hunch

Even by Trump standards, the megalomania is out of control. Trump literally believes that he is chosen by god and he is building monuments to himself. It is dangerous for a narcissist to get constant affirmation by sycophants.
