"Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician," Trump wrote in a Sunday night social-media post. "It's hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it's hurting the Catholic Church!"
Hungary's Orbán Ousted in Landslide Election Defeat
BUDAPEST-Prime Minister Viktor Orbán suffered a landslide defeat in Hungary's election on Sunday, ending the 16-year rule of a politician who had become a standard-bearer for populist right-wing leaders worldwide.
With 98% of the votes counted, Péter Magyar's opposition party was leading with 53.6% of the votes compared with 37.8% secured by Orbán's party, one of the largest winning margins in Hungary's 37 years since the collapse of communism.
An Iraqi Drone Attack Barely Missed a Convoy Carrying a Freed U.S. Hostage
A drone attack near Baghdad's international airport Wednesday narrowly missed a U.S. Embassy convoy carrying a released American hostage, highlighting the danger that upheaval in Iraq could outlast even the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.
The incident-hours after President Trump announced a temporary cease-fire in the war with Iran-prompted the Trump administration to protest to the Iraqi government that the vehicles were targeted in an attempted ambush. It underscored how the Iran war has emboldened Tehran-backed militias in Iraq and inflamed longstanding tensions between those armed groups and America and its Persian Gulf allies, analysts said.
