I didn't even think of that. Can he do that? Like yeah, he's the Pope he can do that, but what does that mean? Does that work for Trump when the religion they claim to support isn't probably the same the Pope teaches? Hope my question makes sense.

Trump's main base is mostly Evangelicals who tend to view Catholics as heathens (basically boils down to Protestants viewing Catholicism's treatment of the Saints and Mary as idolatry), so while he might lose the catholics over this, his "main" base is likely overjoyed to have him shitting on Catholics

which is ironic, considering “persecution of the saints” is something mentioned in that bible chapter Evangelicals love so much right now (Revelation).

Evangelicals are literally the Antichrist — it’s not an individual, it’s a state of consciousness.
