While speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he likes Pope Leo XIV and looks forward to meeting with the pope’s elder brother, Louis Prevost, at the White House.
“I like the pope and I like the pope’s brother,” Trump told reporters after meeting with House Republicans in an attempt to rally support behind a budget reconciliation bill.
Trump noted that the pope’s brother Louis “is a major MAGA fan,” alluding to the “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
“I look forward to getting him to the White House,” Trump said. “I want to shake his hand. I want to give him a big hug.”
