First American Pope Elected, Trump Makes Memorable Comment
Read Naija Report has confirmed that history was made in the Vatican as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, an American was elected the new pope, becoming the first U.S. citizen ever to lead the Catholic Church in its 2,000-year history.
White smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, signaling the swift conclusion of the 2025 conclave. Minutes later, the Vatican declared that Cardinal Prevost had been chosen, taking the papal name Pope Leo XIV.

In a reaction that quickly went viral, U.S. President Donald Trump, while leaving a White House event with military mothers, quipped, “I saw the smoke, but I haven’t seen the pope.” The comment, typical of Trump’s off-the-cuff style, drew laughter from the crowd and a wave of memes online.
Pope Leo XIV, 69, is a former missionary who spent decades serving in Peru. Before his election, he held top positions in the Vatican, including the head of the Dicastery for Bishops. His background as a global servant and reform-minded bishop suggests a continuation of the progressive spirit introduced by Pope Francis.
