But overwhelmingly, the ones who like him have just stuck with him.

By last night, for example, Riley Gaines had softened on that image Trump posted, posting that it was amazing that Trump had deleted it.

Now, all of that said, Trump is already in a weak spot right now.

This war is not popular.

Peace talks have failed.

His approval has slid.

Prices are high.

So you can see this image, his criticism of the pope, as new instances that could further just wear away at Trump's support.

How has the pope responded?

Well, he told reporters this week that he's not a politician.

He's not trying to get into a political debate.

He also added that he has no fear of the Trump administration.

And it all highlights a pretty remarkable aspect of all of this, which is how differently Trump and the pope have responded to each other.

Trump is attacking the pope like a political opponent.

He posted that the pope is weak on crime, for example.

Pope Leo, on the other hand, is talking about the war generally in these bigger terms, about peacemaking, humanity, and the Gospels, and God.

So Trump is picking a fight here with someone who's operating on this totally different level.

Trump is making this about him, about winning and strength.

The Pope isn't really engaging with that.

He's the head of this millennia-old institution, and he's talking from a place of belief as opposed to winning or losing.
