Today, President Trump was asked about Iran killing protestors, including a plan to kill the first female protestor. His answer was telling.
REPORTER: Iran is going to execute four more protesters, including the first woman protester. What do you tell Iran?

TRUMP: Tell that to the Pope pic.twitter.com/c7AleXlWpN
The Pope loves to criticize America and lecture Israel about violence, but stays unusually silent about these matters. That's so strange.
They don’t have a counter to this btw https://t.co/Hgtj15UBuw

Pope did not tell Iranians "help is on the way"

also he is not dealing with them! @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/q2S61jdnk6
Every time President Trump tries to do something to help the Iranians who oppose the government, the Pope gets up in arms about 'violence'. Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. For Trump and the US to help the Iranians, hard choices have to be made.
Pope Leo must understand that this killing is not just a rogue segment of Islam! This evil is commanded by the Quran, and is exactly what they are made of!! This is exactly the reason that a much earlier Pope Leo built the wall around the Vatican, to protect it against Islamic… https://t.co/PfxWobShN4

The Pope seems to grade Islam on a curve and it's quite concerning. He also acts as if they are an oppressed minority group and not the religion of over a billion people.
Perfect response from Trump. https://t.co/VkJVS2MOWn

It is interesting why they aren't asking the Pope or the Vatican to comment on Iran's execution of protesters. https://t.co/pbLxNbcqjH

They should.
"Tell that to the Pope"
— David Boxenhorn (@davidboxenhorn) April 16, 2026
Do you hear, @Pontifex ? https://t.co/TOGU8kJhKd
Waiting for comment!
Epic response from President Trump. “Tell That to the Pope”.
— Oreo Express (@OreoExpress) April 16, 2026
The Pope won’t say anything to the terrorists. https://t.co/D6iz9S11I9
That was a savvy and quick reply. Anyone that says this man has dementia or is slowing down is a liar and a fool

He put those allegations to rest.
President Trump with the perfect mic drop.
— TDS Recovery (@TDSAnon) April 16, 2026
The Pope criticizes the President for confronting an evil, genocidal regime but he's silent when that regime executes people for fighting for freedom.
That's not morality, it's a moral inversion.
Well said.
