Trump advisor Scott Jennings has defended President Trump's approach to policy-making, stating that the President is "not obligated to make policy based on the Pope's theology." Jennings challenged Democrats who have criticized Trump's recent comments about Pope Leo, suggesting that if they want to use Catholic doctrine to shape U.S. policy, they should apply it to abortion next. The remarks come amid declining Catholic support for Trump in recent polls following his controversial statements about the Pope. This highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and religious groups over policy direction.
