Trump: “It’s A Great Honor That Pope Is An American”

“Congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who was just named Pope. It is such an honor to realize that he is the first American Pope. What excitement, and what a Great Honor for our Country. I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV. It will be a very meaningful moment!” – The Felon-In-Chief, as always unable to resist inserting himself into breaking news. Expect him to soon fully take credit for the pope being an American.



Prediction

Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again

Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn’t like capitalism, and tariffs hurt the poor

Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake Pope, etc

Just watch.

The right is starting to meltdown that the new pope has been vocally critical of Trump.

Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

Honestly Vatican should announce a new pope each time Trump tries to roll out another infrastructure week trade deal. Total burn.
