"By targeting Pope Leo XIV, Trump exposes the limits of power when faced with a moral authority it cannot silence. ...
The first thing to say about this attack is what it is not. It is not a sign of strength. Political power turns on a moral voice only when it has failed to contain it. If Leo were irrelevant, he would not be worth a sentence on Truth Social."

"Something that's struck me about the Trump Administration throughout its second term is its profound misunderstanding of power. Over and over again, Trump and his minions demonstrate that they think they have a monopoly on power and that history will unfold as their actions without any reactions, a literally inconsequential view as in 'there will no consequences other than the ones we impose.'"
