đđ€Trump Jokes About Papal Ambitionsđ„â
When asked who heâd like to see as the next pope, former U.S. President Donald Trump gave a tongue-in-cheek reply: âIâd like to be pope. That would be my number one choice,â he said while departing the White House on Tuesday, the 29th.
Though he clarified he has no specific preference, Trumpâs comment drew attention as the Vatican prepares for the conclave to select Pope Francisâ successor on June 7. Trump had attended Pope Francisâ funeral on Saturday, the 26th, alongside other world leaders.
Trump, who identifies as a Christian but is not formally tied to any denomination, has often appealed to religious conservatives with his stances on abortion and LGBT issues.
