💨 Abstract

The article discusses the stark contrast between President Donald Trump and newly elected Pope Leo XIV, both Americans, highlighting their differing worldviews and leadership styles. Trump's "America First" approach and combative stance towards media and allies stand in contrast to Leo's emphasis on peace, global dialogue, and service to the neediest. Leo's election as the first U.S.-born pope raises questions about American influence and the potential for a more balanced global leadership.
