Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost of the US, became the first American pope. Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as a pope, stirring reactions. The conclave began on May 7, with over 4,000 reporters covering the event. Prevost was known for not giving interviews.

The claim that Cardinal Robert Prevost never gave public interviews is refuted by recent evidence. Although the evidence for other aspects of the papal conclave and Trump's AI-generated image exists, no credible fact-checks or web evidence directly support the specific claim about Prevost's interview history. Therefore, the claim remains unverified based on the lack of supporting evidence, and evaluators should treat this statement cautiously and scrutinize available sources for updates.
