Pope's Brother Reveals Trump and Pope Leo Have Private Relationship, No Real Animosity
Piers Morgan Uncensored
"PROUD To Be American!" Piers Morgan’s USA 250 Anniversary Debate
What was said
"I talked to my brother and he's like, ah, there's no big argument there. The president's the president, the pope is the pope, they both have their jobs to do and they both respect that. When I talked to President Trump during the UFC fight, he told me he likes— you know, he said, 'I don't like him.' Well, deep down, when you talk to him one-on-one, I get the impression he kind of likes him. I delivered my brother's birthday wishes to Trump and he was very cordial."
Louis Provost, brother of Pope Leo, disclosed that despite public tensions, President Trump and the Pope have mutual respect and the president responded warmly to birthday wishes delivered from the pontiff. Provost revealed Trump's public statements about disliking the Pope don't match his private demeanor, and that media has blown their relationship "beyond what it really is."
