The contrast between President Donald Trump and Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV couldn’t be more stark — politically, personally or in their world views. They lead in different roles and realms.

Donald Trump touted how he won the Catholic vote as he blasted an ABC reporter for "effectively" saying "Pope Leo's selection had nothing to do with Trump." The President has said said it is "an honor" to have an American pope but there has been much talk about whether Leo's politics align with those of the current administration.

Pope Leo XIV is being scrutinized for how he might interact with the Trump administration after its rifts with the late Pope Francis.
