Will Donald Trump publicly insult Pope Leo XIV by October 31, 2026?
From Today's edition · Oct 24, 2026
The question asks whether Donald Trump will publicly insult Pope Leo XIV by Oct. 31, 2026; Leo XIV is the current pope, elected in May 2025 and still listed that way on the Vatican’s official site. The market resolves on whether Trump says something publicly that qualifies as an insult before that date. [1] In the last 48 hours, AP reported on Oct. 21 that Vatican tests showed Leo XIV would need no further treatment for lung cancer, and on Oct. 20 it said he is scheduled, health permitting, to hold a private audience on Oct. 31 with Villanova and Notre Dame teams and fans. The latest verified Trump comment found in Reuters reporting was on Oct. 14, when he said he hoped the pope would “get better fast”; earlier, in April, Trump publicly attacked Leo XIV online and in comments, criticizing him as liberal and weak on crime and foreign policy after the pope criticized the U.S.-Israel war in Iran.
