In shocking news first reported a week ago, businessman Donald Trump has converted to Catholicism and has now declared his candidacy for Pope. Today's announcement coincides with critical statements Pope Francis made about Mr. Trump not being a Christian. Mr. Trump just held a rally outside of New York City. Although video is not available, A-CNN has just acquired the audio transcript which we are providing below:
Thank you....thank you. You know, when I first started this campaign, people didn't believe me. First they said, he's not converting, he'll never convert. Then I converted. Then they said, he'll never get baptized, he won't want the water to mess up his hair. But then I got baptized. Then they said he won't get confirmed, and I got confirmed. And then they said he'd never run for pope. Well here I am, and I'm running for Pope; and I'm doing very well I must say.
(Cheers, applause)
I don't have to do this, when you think about it. I really don't. I'm rich. I'm really, really, rich. I built a great company; a tremendous company. I employ thousands and thousands of people. So my friends, they ask me, they say Donald, you have everything you can dream of. You're rich, you have an amazing wife, an amazing family, you're very successful, why run for Pope? And I say, you know what? I have to run. My Church needs me. The Catholics need me. I have to make the Catholic Church great again. I have to.

Desperately trying too hard complete failure folks.
Trump’s gonna sue the Pope.
Trump is actually the anti-pawn
You’re right; it bites.
You put lame satire in “Breaking News”?
He won’t need to build a wall, as the Vatican already has one, it is a big beautiful wall with a door in it.
Bite me!
Actually I guess Trump would still be a loser to the Cruz folks since they think he is GOD.
Maybe Trump will run for God next!
After that it will be Secretary-General. “Make The World Great Again”
Trump 2016! Make The Vatican Great Again! funny stuff...
Learned it from y’all.
These two are going to join him...

Didn’t mean to laugh. My apologies to our communist pope.
He might make a better Pope than Francis.

I commented on this yesterday. The Breaking News section is full of non-breaking non-news.
Geeeeeesh, you beat me to it. Trump just MAY make a better pope.
It's biting SOMEthing, I suppose.
