True. As: Trump is tearing children from their mothers’ arms separating them at the border after arrests.
And Trump is deporting little children (by keeping mothers and children together on the decisions of the arrested mothers being deported).

No way to please the enemy to don’t try.

Trolling, trolling, trolling. 😆

No. He should be more like Ronald Reagan.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No. He should be more like Ronald Reagan.

You would certainly know what's best.

Yes, I hope the Vatican chooses another Pope who this time ISN’T a commie!

[Bernard]

It's unlikely that Pope Donald would:

Turn the Chinese church over to the Communist regime,

Punish and ostracize practitioners of the Latin Mass,

Use Catholic Charities as a mechanism to undermine a nation's sovereignty in order to get NGO money,

And the list goes on and on.

Lighten up, Frank.

[laplata]

From what I’ve seen, most of the top contenders were his appointees.

Reagan should be more like Trump.

[Bigg Red]

This Catholic is not offended.

The AP is so desperate.

[Bigg Red]

Ditto.

[MotorCityBuck]

Trump would fit in perfectly in the Roman Catholic Church.
The Best Pope Ever!😊👍

😁

[ViLaLuz]

Just goes to show no human is perfect.

[Clutch Martin]

Suddenly without warning the leftists get religious...

[ROCKLOBSTER]

as the mourning of Pope Francis continues

No real Catholics mourned the passing of that child molester.

Hopefully now they can get a real Pope again.

[Allegra]

Uh-oh…

[NeverTyranny]

Agree. It is poor taste.

From The Hill:

New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan disapproved of President Trump’s Truth Social post containing an AI image of himself as a pontiff. It was posted not two weeks after the death of Pope Francis and just days before cardinals gather at the Vatican to elect a new Catholic leader.

When asked by reporters about his thoughts on the late Friday post, Dolan replied that he hoped Trump “didn’t have anything to do with that.”

“Well, you know, it wasn’t good,” the cardinal added when asked whether he was offended by the post.

Dolan’s is part of Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission and has been an ally of the president.

Excellent! Anyone who is upset has no sense of humor. Make America laugh again!
