Trump shares a photo featuring himself and the Pope
Hah, Trump's Latest Stunt: newspaper-boy Pope Donald
Y'all know ol' President Donald Trump? Well, he's been up to his usual tricks again, this time dressing up AI-styled as the Pope! The image shows Trump sitting on a golden throne, wearing a white cassock, a miter on his head, and a golden cross around his neck. And just like a pro, he's flashing his papal ring on the left hand.
On April 29th, Trump himself shared that he'd love to bag the Pope gig, but Politico says it ain't gonna happen. I mean, the dude's already busy as the President of the USA, a billionaire, and thrice-married. So popehood ain't in the cards, folks!
Poor ol' Pope Francis passed away back on April 21st at 88 from a stroke. His funeral was on April 26th, and Trump even showed up for it. But don't worry, they're starting up a conclave on May 7th to elect his successor.
Now, let's take a quick look at ol' Donald's background before we dive into his jokes about being Pope. The guy's a 1946 New York City native, a military academy student, and a Wharton School of Business grad. He's been involved in all sorts of businesses, including construction, gambling, fashion, and even vodka! You might've seen him in movie roles, soaping up on 'Home Alone 2,' appearances on TV shows like 'The Nanny' and 'The Fresh Prince,' and hosting 'The Apprentice.'
But Trump's been hankering to be President for a long time now. He kicked off his second run in 2015 and won on November 8, 2016, with 306 electoral votes, beating Hillary Clinton. He started his first term on January 20, 2017, and announced his intentions for a second term the very same day.
Throughout his political career, ol' Donald's been working hard to win over supporters and stir up controversy. And this Pope stunt? Yeah, it's just another part of his charm. Whether it's alienating opponents, rallying fans, or stirring up debates, ol' Donny never disappoints!
- Despite Donald Trump's latest attempt at impersonating Pope Donald, the passing of Pope Francis on April 21st and his funeral on April 26th have already established the process to elect his successor, starting on May 7th.
- As Trump's Pope stunt continues to grab headlines, it's worth remembering that prior to his political career, he was a businessman involved in various ventures, such as construction, gambling, fashion, and vodka, and even ventured into acting with appearances in movies and TV shows.
- As celebrity culture and pop-culture permeate every corner of society, it's no surprise that even political figures like Donald Trump strive to grab the limelight, as his Pope impersonation attests to, although the idea of him becoming the real Pope is highly unlikely.
- Amidst the florescence of entertainment and media, Trump's diverse background boasts both a military academy education and a degree from the Wharton School of Business, but his foray into political office, winning the presidency in 2016, has arguably made him the biggest celebrity of all, with his actions stirring up both controversy and support.
