Trump posted two tweets: one that enraged Catholics and one that enraged evangelicals. He deleted the tweet that enraged evangelicals.

The one mocking Pope Leo XIV stayed up.

There is only one honest explanation for that choice. MAGA Catholics have zero influence over President Trump. He cares about what evangelicals think, and nothing else.

The coalition conservative Catholics thought they were joining does not defend them when it counts, and it certainly does not defend their pope.

I want to say this as gently as I can to our conservative Catholic friends: the movement you trusted to protect the Church just mocked her shepherd to his face, and the men you elevated to power would not lift a finger to stop it.
