Donald Trump takes on The Pope

TRUMP100

About this episode

Why are the president and The Pope in a holy war of words?

Donald Trump is not happy with the head of the Roman Catholic Church. He claims Leo is weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy.

The president says the pontiff is harming the church… but is Trump harming his own base? We speak to Catholics in Virginia who react to the spat - and the AI image depicting Trump as Jesus Christ.

Meanwhile, a US blockade has begun in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's plan is to choke off Iran's oil income. But will it work - and are we actually getting closer to hostilities restarting?

Plus - why the president's $10bn defamation case against The Wall Street Journal is back in the news.
