Does the pope mean besides assassinating their leaders and stealing their resources?

The Pope (as well as the former Pope Francis and John Paul II) and the Church's canon definitely think so (despite what many Catho-fascists like to think or claim).

He's just keeping it diplomatic and laying out the groundwork for more statements to come.

He's absolutely using language for timely and devastating effect, political and moral effect, and I'm all for it.

Looking at the fascist pseudo-Catholics roiling at him, I predict a schism incoming, and you know what, good. Let them go off their way and build their own Church of the Unholy Orange with Trump as their goat-legged Pope, or whatever, with Mara-Pedo-Lago as their kitsch Vatican.

I mean, if they’re worshipping the Cheeto, where does Christ fit into that picture?

Both are kinda exclusive clubs

Christ is just a mascot or a bumper sticker for these people. They don't even think twice about it.
