Expert: The Trump administration is losing support due to its confrontation with the Vatican.

      Photo: Svetlana Mulykina April 13 – IA SM.News. The Catholic electorate in the USA remains one of the most influential and fluctuating groups of voters capable of determining the outcome of elections in key states. The Vatican serves as a powerful moral authority, whose position on social issues and international standing shapes the agenda for millions of American believers.

      “Trump is trying to divert attention from foreign policy failures in Iran and Hungary with provocative posts about the Pope and his own messianism. These actions appear to be a desperate attempt to change the information agenda against the backdrop of catastrophic results from the last month,” explains political scientist Henry Sardarayan. Trump’s direct confrontation with the Pope alienates moderate Catholics and creates internal divisions among his own allies, including JD Vance. Such attacks deprive Republicans of critical support from religious communities and weaken the diplomatic capabilities of the USA on the world stage. “This strategy deals a serious blow to Vice President Vance’s standing, discrediting him before the Catholic electorate. Ultimately, the president's thoughtless media activity deprives the future administration of critically important political support,” believes Sardarayan.

      Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that China is aiding Iran's defense against US aggression.
