I wish he'd run/ruin a religion instead of democracy.
The pope has absolute power and authority over the Catholic Church. If Trump were elected pope I guarantee the first thing he would do is empty the bank accounts of the church, sign over all the property they have all over the world to himself, collect all the art etc, perhaps make the Sistine chapel his personal residence, and ban everyone except security and family from entering the Vatican.
It would be hilarious. The Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest entities in the world… and Trump would immediately put it all in his name permanently if he became pope.
Lindsey has diaper rash on his face, he sucks so much ass.
Guarantee Russia has pegging blackmail.
more like a pale horse candidate
He's already destroying the US. Maybe he can destroy the Catholic Church, too.
He is not joking.
Everyone challenge him. Tell him he can't do it. He is such a narcissist that it will consume him and he will leave the USA alone while he tries to become Pope.
It would forever change the sarcastic question "Is the Pope Catholic?"
Is the Pope a Nazi?
People have already forgotten that Benedict XVI was literally a member of the Hitler Youth and a soldier in the German military.
They already had one of those.
Well, during WW2 the Catholic church collaborated with them.
Just a tiny little dot on the otherwise blemish free history of the Catholic Church.
Even smuggled them into Argentina
Orange smoke?
"Why does the smoke have to be white? Why can't it be gold? I want gold smoke, the best smoke. You know, the people will love it, they've all told me. 'Donald, when you're pope, make sure the smoke is gold. It'll class up the place.' We're really gonna clean up the Vatican, and catholicism as a whole, I think. Me and God, we're really very close, nobody's closer, in fact. I think some people maybe said Jesus, but I don't know about that. Who let's their son be crucified? You know I asked God once, why would you let your son be crucified if you love him that much? And the whole devil thing? Me and Lucifer, we're gonna get that sorted out. 24 hours, boom, no more hell, everybody goes to heaven. You make me pope, 100% raptured. 100%, that's a not a promise, it's a guarantee. They'll all say, 'Donny, you were the best pope ever.' and they'll be right."
“He was crucified because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured”
The US president said he had "no preference" but suggested an American cardinal, who comes from New York, would be good for the role.
Having managed to greatly influence the Canadian leadership contest last month, the controversial President now weighs in on the Vatican's process.
So, we aren't getting an American pope from new york...
news today the most unpopular president in the United States history and the complete opposite of the Catholic says he wants to be Pope
being the worst US president was too easy. Most of them were kinda decent people overall. Being the worst pope ever though... I guess he likes the challenge
If that meant he wouldn’t be president anymore, then I’m all for it.
He's clearly never read the Bible, but somebody told him how much Nazi gold there is for paying pedophile lawsuits so he's on board.
"no preference" aka "I don't even know who the potential candidates are, also I don't care, get out of the way, I'm trying to golf here"
Why would anyone ask him that?
He is not joking.
“There are methods which you could do it"
"Trump was right about everything" hats, now with papal infallibility!
