Pulse Insider: Trump Claims the New Pope’s Brother Is a “Major MAGA Fan”

In this surprising Pulse Insider moment, former President Donald Trump makes a bold and unexpected claim: that the brother of the new pope is a “major MAGA fan.”

Speaking in the context of possible global diplomacy and his earlier mention of meeting Vladimir Putin at the Vatican, Trump used the moment to suggest he has unlikely fans in high places — even in religious circles. While the identity and background of the new pope’s brother remain unclear, Trump’s comment is classic: mixing politics, personality, and spectacle.

This isn’t the first time Trump has tried to frame unexpected figures or institutions as aligned with the MAGA movement, but this one is particularly striking. What does it say about his continued influence, his messaging tactics, or his desire to link the religious and political world?
