Trump Sets Internet on Fire As Candidate for Pope
President Donald Trump has never been afraid of raising hell on the internet, and he's made a reputation as being pretty darn funny.
The 47th president proved both points again on Friday with a Truth Social post that featured an image created by artificial intelligence showing Trump dressed in papal regalia, as though he were going to step into the shoes of St. Peter left vacant by the recent demise of Pope Francis.
Trump was accused of mocking the Catholic religion - but Americans should remember what real mockery of religion looks like.................................
......................At the risk of killing a joke by explaining it, Trump cannot be the pope. As a very practical matter, the pope has been chosen from among the church's cardinals since 1378, as NBC noted in an April 22 report. But even if a non-cardinal is chosen, he must be a baptized male Catholic.
As Christianity Today reported in 2020, Trump was raised Presbyterian but grew to consider himself a non-denominational Christian.
