      It would forever change the sarcastic question “Is the Pope Catholic?”

            Yeah my first thought was, I wonder if a historian can tell us how many Popes throughout history have been objectively worse than Trump for society (so far).

      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.

      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.

      Hear me out here - what if we tell Trump he “won ‘pope’”, and he should come to Vatican City to collect his prize. Say it’s a beautiful prize or some bs. Then when he comes to collect, the Swiss Guard can arrest him for wearing a blue suit to the funeral or something, and lock him in the catacombs under the city to add him to the church’s collection of curiosities.

        “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.”
