After Pope Francis passed away last month at age 88, Cardinal Robert Prevost, 69, was officially named his successor today, taking the name Pope Leo XIV — the first American pope in history.

While Donald Trump publicly celebrated the news on Truth Social — calling it a “Great Honor for our Country” — resurfaced tweets show Pope Leo XIV has previously criticized Trump’s policies.

In one reposted tweet, now-Pope Leo XIV highlighted criticism of Trump and El Salvador’s president over deportation actions, quoting a bishop who asked:

“Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?”

Another tweet the pope shared condemned U.S. immigration practices, saying:

“There is nothing remotely Christian… about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages.”

He also appeared to push back against Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance, by sharing an op-ed titled “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.”

Despite their differences, Trump congratulated Pope Leo XIV and expressed interest in meeting him — but the newly elected pontiff’s past tweets may suggest that their first encounter could be more than just ceremonial.
