Papal Beef & Messiah Complexes: Trump’s Holy War

About this episode

Stephanie Miller discusses the absurdity of Trump's conflict with the Pope and its implications.

It’s the ultimate showdown: The Vicar of Christ vs. The King of Mar-a-Lago. Stephanie Miller dives into the absolute absurdity of President Trump picking a fight with Pope Leo XIV. From those "blasphemy-chic" social media posts featuring Donald and Jesus to the high-stakes foreign policy blunders in Iran, she’s breaking down the madness. You’ll get the cathartic laughs you need to survive the news cycle, plus a sharp reality check on why a feud with the Vatican is more than just a PR stunt—it’s a global security risk.
