#PopeLeoXIV says the world is “being ravaged by a handful of #tyrants,” in the latest escalation of his feud with Donald #Trump.

The pontiff, on a trip to Cameroon, urged a “decisive change of course” and denounced leaders who use #religion as a basis to justify war.

“The masters of #war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild,” Leo said.

“They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education, and restoration are nowhere to be found,” he went on, further condemning what he described as “an endless cycle of destabilization and death.”

As for the reaction of the outside world, Trump seems determined to infuriate his one-time allies for failing to support him. He #insults them almost daily. He raises #tariffs on their goods.

To a world at a loss as to how to handle Trump, I say this: the only answer may be to wait him out

A great effort will be needed to undo the damage once the US president has gone. But with the constitution unable to bring him to order now, that is what we must do, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

This is #Daruma, a Japanese doll based on the image of an ancient monk who supposedly meditated for so long that his legs fell off. Daruma has become an emblem of #resilience, #tenacity, and getting things done. No matter how many times you push Daruma over, he rights himself. He endures many setbacks, but he cannot be vanquished.

When you see an image of Daruma, remember: you are #free, you are stronger than you think, and you cannot be pushed around by bullies and #tyrants.

Happy (and hopefully safe) #NoKings Day.
