CWN Editor's Note: President Donald Trump told reporters that he will not apologize for a social media post blasting the Pope.

“He was very much against what I’m doing with regard to Iran, and you cannot have a nuclear Iran. Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result,” the president said on April 13. “I think he’s very weak on crime and other things.”
