US President Donald Trump has celebrated the election of the first U.S.-born pope, calling it a "Great Honor" that Robert Francis Prevost, who chose Leo XIV as his papal name, was selected on Thursday, May 8, as the first American pontiff.

He wrote "Congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who was just named Pope," Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "It is such an honor to realize that he is the first American Pope. What excitement, and what a Great Honor for our Country. I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV. It will be a very meaningful moment!"

Trump and all citizens of the USA are feasting and celebrating the new Pope who happens to be an American. This shocked all citizens young and mature in the United States of America.

I just hope that Trump would not count this as one of the achievements of his government. Congrats to the Pope though.

Trump doesn't know that the pope is more influential than him in the scheme of affairs of the world.

Trump will find way he will use to exploit this opportunity. Trump sees everything as business and money making opportunities! Congratulations to the priest Prevost to elevation to head of cardinals.
