Pope Leo XIV, newly selected to lead the Catholic Church, previously took to social media to voice strong opposition to President Trump’s policies, especially those related to immigration. Now the first American to be elected pope, Leo XIV — formerly Robert Francis Prevost — had repeatedly used his verified X account, @drprevost, to amplify criticism during Trump’s presidency.
Prior to his papal election, one of his last public online activities was a repost of a tweet from Catholic analyst Rocco Palmo. The post criticized a Trump-Bukele deportation policy involving a U.S. resident with Salvadoran roots.
