Trump was angered by the question of his role in the election of the new pope by the Vatican

On May 12, American leader Donald Trump said that the question of ABC News journalist Martha Raddatz about the role of the US president in the election of the new Pope Leo XIV by the Vatican was outrageous.

"It's so funny to watch old-timer Martha Raddatz blurt out on ABC's Fake News program this morning that, in fact, Papa Leo's choice has nothing to do with Donald Trump. It came out of nowhere, but it was in her "Crazy Trump Mind," the president said in a message on Thuth Social.

In addition, the American leader recalled that during the last presidential election, he won a significant number of votes from Catholics — more than 50%.
