If nothing else, Donald Trump’s extravagant birthday celebrations are divisive with Pope Leo. A massive military parade, straight out of the fascist handbook, will be the president’s celebration of the important 7-9. The parade is scheduled for June 14, Trump’s birthday, but its true purpose is to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
Nevertheless, if it appears to be a large, overwhelming, and unnerving birthday party and behaves as such, it’s most likely. Well, you get the point. As a result, many people are criticizing the event that is coming up, and it appears like Pope Leo XIV, who is highly unlikely, may be subtly opposing Trump’s big day.
Trump was able to use Pope Leo’s election to further his own agenda, and it appears that the new pope is doing the same. The White Sox will celebrate Pope Leo, who is a huge fan, with a special celebration and a Catholic Mass at Rate Field.
A “special video message to the young people of the world,” according to Block Club Chicago, will be delivered by Pope Leo personally. The unique event is scheduled for June 14 in the afternoon. Is it a coincidence?We don’t believe so.And many people on the internet don’t either.
Just a few minutes after Pope Leo XIV was crowned, Vice President JD Vance was already feeling humiliated by the new pope. Online users soon found Pope Leo to be a fairly vocal opponent of Vance. The pope’s desire to divert attention from President Trump’s lavish celebration is therefore not all that surprising.
Pope Leo scheduled his Chicago appearance for the exact same time as Trump’s military parade. That’s some top-tier trolling 😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/psSuC0sljI

According to The Boston Pilot, the Bible states, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,” which is a clear contradiction to a major military birthday celebration. Furthermore, that hardly touches on the things Trump frequently says and does that contradict Pope Leo’s views.
Nevertheless, the pope’s intentional attempt to overshadow a president’s celebration is unconventional. However, internet users are embracing the notion that this could be exactly what he’s doing.
So Pope Leo XIV who just replaced Pope Francis after passing away has let Donald Trump know where he stands on him and his policies!👍🔥💪 pic.twitter.com/RDEfKemT9w

“I’m sorry, but I can’t stop laughing about the fact that the Pope is now holding a huge event in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s small-in-the-pants birthday parade,” one X user wrote. “Is this the ultimate scheduling troll by the Pope?” one commenter asked. “Not Catholic but I’m really liking this new Pope,” another user said with a laughing emoji.
“I do not think his holiness thinks this is a competition, but I also think he will win without even playing the game, just for being a better human being,” said another. It appears that individuals are enjoying this scheduling problem whether it is intentional or not.
