Trump: "Someone should explain to the Pope that the Mayor of Chicago is useless, and that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
REPORTER: Are you going to recommend to President Trump he stops criticizing the Pope?
RUBIO: "Why would I tell you what I'm going to recommend to the President?"
"The President will always speak clearly about how he feels about the U.S. and U.S. policy."
"The President of the United States is always going to act in what's in the best interest of the United States."
Trump: Whether I make the pope happy or not, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
He seemed to be saying they can; I say they cannot.
Reporter: The president recently said that the Pope is endangering a lot of Catholics as a result of his rhetoric around the Iran war.
Rubio: I don't think that's an accurate description of what he said
Trump: "I think the Pope is endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people. He thinks it's just fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
Scott Jennings on Trump:
"He's not obligated to make policy based on the Pope's theology. If Dems really want to use Catholic doctrine to shape U.S. policy, why don't we do abortion next?"
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
Trump on the Pope:
"The Pope has to understand that, it's very simple. I have nothing against the Pope."

"I have to do what's right ."
"His brother is MAGA all the way!"
"I'm not fighting with him. The Pope made a statement. He says Iran can have a nuclear weapon."
"I say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And if the Pope looked at the 42,000 people that were killed over the last two or three months as a protester with no weapons, no nothing, I mean, you take a look at that. So I can disagree with the Pope. I have a right to disagree."
Sen. Lindsey Graham:
"To the Pope: you're a good, holy man. You don't understand the evil of Iran, you're miscalculating here. The Catholic Church, God bless it, in the 1930s didn't really get Hitler. And to the Pope: you really don't get this regime, the Ayatollah and his henchmen."
Italian PM Meloni: "The statements, particularly about the Pope, were unacceptable. I have expressed and continue to express my solidarity with the Pope."
