When asked if he plans to call the pope directly, Mr. Trump gave a firm &#8220;no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s wrong on the issues,&#8221; Mr. Trump said of Pope Leo. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he should be getting into politics. I think he probably learned that from this.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump also said he wasn&#8217;t sure whether Pope Leo, the first U.S.-born pontiff, would visit the States during Trump&#8217;s presidency. &#8220;I have no idea,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s up to him, not up to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president admitted he was surprised by the backlash from the Christian right over the now-deleted <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-posts-ai-image-jesus-christ\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">AI image he posted<\/a><\/span> to Truth Social Sunday night which depicted him as a Jesus-like figure. He said he thought the image was by &#8220;a very beautiful, talented artist,&#8221; and he said he believed the photo intended to depict him as a doctor, and not Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I viewed that as a picture of me being a doctor in fixing \u2014 you had the Red Cross right there, you had, you know, medical people surrounding me. And I was like the doctor, you know, as a little fun playing the doctor and making people better. So that&#8217;s what it was viewed as. That&#8217;s what most people thought.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked why he took down the photo, Mr. Trump said, &#8220;Normally I don&#8217;t like doing that, but I didn&#8217;t want to have anybody be confused. People were confused.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Monday on X, conservative activist Riley Gaines said she couldn&#8217;t understand why Trump posted the image, asking: &#8220;Does he actually like this?&#8221; She added that &#8220;a little humility would serve him well&#8221; and that &#8220;God shall not be mocked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he took the post down because of Gaines&#8217; and others&#8217; criticism, President Trump said no. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t listen to Riley Gaines. I&#8217;m not a big fan of Riley, actually.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president also remarked that he believes he has &#8220;done more for the Catholic Church than any president in the last hundred years.&#8221; He said, &#8220;During COVID I gave them billions of dollars. They were gonna go under. I gave them billions of dollars for education and that&#8217;s not the right way to treat somebody that&#8217;s been so good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-leo-says-no-fear-trump-administration-lashes-out\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Pope Leo addressed<\/a><\/span> Mr. Trump&#8217;s Truth Social post while on a flight to Algeria on Monday. &#8220;The things that I say are certainly not meant as attacks on anyone, and the message of the Gospel is very clear: &#8216;Blessed are the peacemakers,'&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no fear of the Trump administration, or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the church is here to do,&#8221; Pope Leo said. &#8220;We are not politicians, we don&#8217;t deal with foreign policy with the same perspective he might understand it, but I do believe in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker. &#8220;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
