Donald Trump celebrates his critic in the Vatican – the situation in the morning

Dear readers,

White smoke over the Vatican! The Catholic Church congratulates a new head and many politicians. Donald Trump in particular is delighted that one of his compatriots have become Pope. He feels honored, he writes it in his online network Truth Social. And the US President hopes to meet the dignitaries from the Vatican soon. Is that based on mutuality?

Robert Francis Prevost, 69 years old and American, was considered a cardinal with Catholic ideals, but open spirit and heart. It is not quite certain whether he continues the liberal path of Francis. Prevost, aka Pope Leo XIV., Little, little, abortions and homosexuality are taboo for him. For this he shares the attitude for climate protection, humanity and against racism with his predecessor.

“Hopes of all those who hoped for a continuation of the unconventional path of Francis I, who died on Easter Monday, should only be partially satisfied,” my colleagues David Baum and Frank Ochmann sum up in their pope portrait. So he is not the reformer requested by many Catholics.

A look at the posts on social media shows that the new Pope has at least clear opinions and also shares them. Until his choice, he used his choice for criticism of US President Donald Trump and his Vice JD Vance. The latter converted to Catholicism and six years ago for political reasons. In an emergency, he can definitely contact Pope Leo XIV.

While Trump is still happy about the first American Pope, his Maga camp has long since put him in the left corner. So it is only a matter of time before the US President also changes his opinion-and opened the Twitter campaign against Leo XIV.

The first major chaos is bought in the federal government. The crux of the matter is the migration policy sought by the Union. In the election campaign, the party had advertised, scored and won with border controls and rejections at the borders. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) now wants to redeem the promises. But that’s probably not as simple as expected. The Federal Government would have to suspend EU laws for the asylum course, i.e. a national emergency. However, the European Court of Justice would have to agree. Other European countries have already failed.

The government, especially Friedrich Merz, is still under pressure. She has to satisfy the voters, but also the European partners. The colleagues in the star-Aptadt office:

Would you reject an interview for a promising job offer for pure listlessness? This is exactly what happened in the program “Germany’s Next Top Model”. There, the candidate Moritz gave the designer Marina Hoermanseder to worry. She wanted to book him for a show and see it beforehand. His clever answer was: “I don’t want that now.”

Uncso to the set, where model jobs are highly contested and are part of the profession. The 19-year-old certainly did not bring this episode to sympathy points. But that didn’t seem important either. He did not want to perform on command, but on his own drive, he later justified himself and added: “The biggest factor to convince a customer is.

Despite everything, Moritz is very successful in Heidi Klum’s show. Most model jobs went to him and he also won the last casting. Zero Bock is somehow sexy.

A good start to Friday and a relaxing weekend wishes you
