of continuity from the Catholic Church.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Soviet Union is gone.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Stalin is dead.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Pope John Paul II, who is rightly credited for help in rolling back the Iron Curtain and also delegitimizing, at least morally, the Soviet sense of communism.

I guess what I'm saying to you is that does this further hurt US prestige?

The Rest Is Politics: US

When I think of brand America globally,

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Be the brand manager for America for a second.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Is that another chink in the image of America?

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

So I know this sounds sinister and it sounds strategic, but I believe that Trump is both sinister and way more strategic than people give him credit for.

Going after the Pope and picking Orthodox Easter to do it, okay, is another shot at Vance and it's another indirect shot at Rubio.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

And any normal person would then rebuke what Donald Trump is saying, going after a religious leader like this and somebody that has Vance's supposed now Catholic identity.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

But you know, and I know, that Vance is not going to say a word about this.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

And for Trump and all of his narcissistic glory, he loves that.
