Unusual: Donald Trump posts an image depicting himself as the Pope
ā「 Headline: Trump jokingly poses as Pope amidst upcoming papal election ā
Check out the latest buzz circulating online! The White House and Truth Social have shared a photoshopped image of President Donald Trump dressed as the Pope, complete with a miter and crucifix. Yep, you heard it right - Trump as a pope! The image has stirred mixed reactions, with some finding it disrespectful and others seeing it as a light-hearted joke from the president.
Trump himself seemed to enjoy the idea, mentioning New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan as a "very good" potential successor of Pope Francis. Interestingly, during the recent funeral of Pope Francis, Trump was among the attendees, discussing matters with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in St. Peter's Square, Rome.
Sadly, the late Pope Francis wasn't a big fan of Trump, particularly his border wall idea. Criticizing such initiatives as "not Christian," Francis stood firm in his opposition to divisive policies.
Despite the controversial past, Trump never shied away from expressing his Christian beliefs. He has been known to gain support from Christian groups, but his views and actions have also led to criticism from religious leaders.
So, who's going to be the next Pope? We'll have to wait and see what happens during the upcoming conclave in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican. It'll be all eyes on the Vatican as the Catholic Church selects its new leader.
