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.

How can Donald Trump be a Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?
Summary: The Church is going to be fantastic, incredible and YUUUUUGE!!! And he’s going to make Protestants pay for it.
I thought the Pope was in the running for anti-Christ? Is the AC also supposed to be a communist, or would that knock him out of contention?
He'd be an improvement!
That is so funny and so true of Trumps character. Delusions of Grandiose, and it is a mental disorder.
No he will sue HIM........if HE don’t stop condemning him.
he can’t
OH YOU DIDN’T KNOW? After Trump is POTUS, he plans to run for WORLD LEADER and after he removes the U.N. he will be leading the WORLD and it will have Walls and people will behave, and he will be KING.../s
The above is just about as stupid as this article sounds...if this is what the garbage that is being run thru the media cycle today, some people need a new job...picking up dog poop in the nearest gutter....
That's funny, I ---- I must be terrible.
Funny how Trump criticizes the Pope for questioning his faith, just days after Trump questioned Cruz’s faith.
Who is “ya’ll”? I’ve never posted anything in Breaking News.
