Trump wildly rants about Pope Leo amid Iran war feud and teases he'll fly to Pakistan HIMSELF to get a deal done.

President Donald Trump made news Thursday, saying he is prepared to visit Pakistan to personally finalize a peace agreement, while simultaneously escalating a verbal dispute with the Vatican over foreign policy.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, the President expressed optimism regarding ongoing negotiations in the region, suggesting he would travel to Islamabad if a final accord is reached.

'I would go,' Trump said. 'Pakistan has been great. They've been so good. Islamabad … I might go, yeah. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.'

Good! Maybe he'll stay there!

I urge him to hold an outdoor rally while he's there.

He also claimed at the "next" school shooting 7 years ago, he would run (RUN) into the school himself to save the children. He never did... not once.

He also claimed his voice sounded horse because he spent all day on Monday screaming at the Iranians. He didn't talk to even one Iranian.

My point is, don't get your hopes up. He's not going to Pakistan.

Gee I hope Israel doesn't shoot down Trump like they threatened to do the the Iranian delegation.

What I’m hoping is trump flys to the Mideast, puts himself at risk and suffers the consequences and is assasinated.

The pope had no right to say what he said
@Tammylee14 Still diverting and deflecting and ducking the question, aren't you?

Remember, YOU said the following about the Pope:
it has nothing to do with the freedom of speech and everything to do with being biblically, correct


That was YOU telling us that the Pope was biblically incorrect in his calls for peace and his opposition to the Iran war. I am STILL trying to find out from you what biblical errors you think the Pope made, and what biblical passages you think justify tRump's war.

With all your avoidance efforts, I'm starting to think you were bluffing, that you don't have ANY scriptural basis for claiming the Pope was biblically incorrect. Go ahead, prove me wrong, prove to me that you weren't bluffing.

@ElwoodBlues I have already told you about King David, but you seem to just scan over that and not comment on that . The pope said that someone like President Trump his prayers will not make it to heaven because the type of person he is starting the war he did not start the war, but he took care of a regime that was oppressing people, and trying to make a missile that would reach you as soil and you’re also threatened the welfare of the American people . Israel is our ally and we are also doing this to protect Israel.
@Tammylee14 King David and his eight wives lived and died under Old Testament rules, making burnt offerings multiple times, and probably imposing silence on women. We live under New Testament rules. Regarding prayers, perhaps the Pope was referring to prayers like the following.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ... asked Americans to “take a knee and pray to Jesus for the success in the Middle East . . . that the wicked souls be delivered to eternal damnation”.
Praying for someone's “eternal damnation.” Hegseth really said that. Publicly. Christianity's goal is to save everyone. To my thinking it is literally playing God to try to direct who gets what fate.

Now lets touch on who kindled strife and settled strife between Iran & the US.

(1) In Aug 1953, the CIA Operation Ajax overthrew the existing prime minister and installed the (US friendly) 1st Shah Pahlavi, incurring about 300 Iranian deaths. Should Iran interpret that overthrow as an act of war?

(2) In Nov 1979, Iranians overthrew the 2nd Shah Pahlavi and took 66 Americans hostage, holding 52 of them for more than a year. No Americans were killed though eight died in an aborted rescue attempt. Should the US interpret that hostage taking as an act of war?

(3) In July 2015, Obama made a treaty known as the JCPOA, signed by US, Iran, and 5 other nuclear powers. Under the treaty deal, Iran agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and to allow continuous monitoring of its compliance in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. For three years, Iran kept to the rules as shown in quarterly reports, see https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/focus/iran/iaea-and-iran-iaea-board-reports

The JCPOA treaty ended Iran's nuclear threat. Iran agreed to reduce its enriched uranium stockpile by 98% and cap enrichment at 3.67% for 15 years among many other treaty terms. This was an act of settling strife.
In short, Obama solved the Iran nuclear issue.

(4) In May 2018 tRump, saying he could make a "better deal," blew up the JCPOA treaty and re-imposed US sanctions. In response, Iran began digging deeper tunnels and enriching uranium again. Should Iran interpret blowing up the treaty as an act of war? BTW, tRump never did make any other deal with Iran.
In short, tRump un-solved the Iran nuclear issue.

(5) 2023-2024: ChatGPT tells you that at least 3 US service members were killed by "Iranian forces or their proxies." Is that an act of war? I will point out here that tRump didn't cite any soldiers' deaths in his justification for the 900 strikes against Iran that he launched on Feb 28 2026.

(6) In June 2025, tRump dropped bunker buster bombs on Iran's enrichment tunnels. There was no known loss of life, and tRump reported "Iran's Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News" Source: The White House. Date: June 25, 2025. Should Iran interpret that bombing as an act of war?

(7) Feb 28 2026, tRump launched 900 strikes against Iran including a strike on a girls' school in Minab that killed over 170 people, many of them children. That is certainly an act of war. tRump's justification reads as follows: 2026-03-10:
“The situation was very quickly approaching the point of no return, and the United States found it intolerable, in my opinion, based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco also involved, I thought they were going to attack us.”

tRump's stated justification for starting the war had nothing to to with what ChatGPT mentioned. tRump's justification was that he thought Iran might be close to having capabilities that concerned him. However,
U.S. Intelligence Saw No Change in Iran’s Missile Capabilities Before War

On Wednesday, the director of national intelligence and C.I.A. director contradicted one of the justifications the Trump administration had given for its attacks on Iran.

AI summary of the above linked article
On March 18, 2026, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that Iran was not rebuilding its nuclear enrichment program following 2025 U.S. strikes, directly contradicting President Trump's assertion that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat. Gabbard stated that the enrichment capabilities were "obliterated" and that Iran had not made efforts to rebuild them
