'I'd like to be Pope': Donald Trump jokes he should be next Vatican leader; Watch video
Washington, D.C.: U.S. President Donald Trump triggered a wave of reactions online after joking that he would like to be the next Pope, following the recent death of Pope Francis at the age of 88.
When asked for his thoughts on the future leadership of the Catholic Church, Trump responded with humour: “I’d like to be Pope. That would be my number one choice.”
While his initial comment drew laughter, Trump went on to speak seriously about potential successors to Pope Francis. Although he said he had no particular preference, the 78-year-old mentioned Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, as someone who could be “very good.”
“No, I don’t know, I have no preference. I might say we have a Cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who is very good. So we’ll see what happens,” Trump added.
Some netizens raised concerns about the appropriateness of the remark and strongly opposed the idea of Trump as the next pontiff, as the comment quickly went viral and triggered a wave of memes across social media platforms. “Good news is he would no longer be president, bad news is he would be pope,” quipped one user. Another joked, “Next grift incoming: Catholic Bibles signed by Trump.”
Critics were quick to highlight Trump’s personal life, questioning the suitability of his candidacy. “Does the pope usually have 6 children with 3 different women? Lol,” one user wrote. Another commented, “In psychology, we term this disorder as Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”
