Pope on His Vatican Walls pointing to Germany for his unwanted immigrants!

'And he's got an awfully big wall at the Vatican, I will tell you.'
Trump reiterated his months-long contention that 'we're going to build a wall, and Mexico's going to pay for the wall. And that's the way it is.'
When Cooper reminded Trump that 'people do come and go through the Vatican, and it's open to tourists,' Trump pounced.
'They're going to come and go through the wall' he will erect on America's southern border, he said, 'but they're going to come and go legally. And that's what I want, and that's what a lot of people want, obviously.' The global leader of the Roman Catholic Church told reporters early Thursday en route to Europe after a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border that 'a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the gospel.'
Minutes later Trump had taken a harsh line, saying the Pope was 'disgraceful' for declaring he was not a Christian.
But he shrugged hours later, suggesting that 'somehow the government of Mexico spoke with the Pope, I mean they spent a lot of time with the Pope. And by the time he left he made a statement.'
'I didn't think it was a good thing for him to say, frankly,' Trump jabbed.
'I don't like fighting with the Pope. I don't think this is a fight.'

Full title...
‘He’s got an awfully big wall at the Vatican, I will tell you!’ Trump can’t resist poking fun at the Pope as he plays down his ‘overblown’ spat with Francis and suggests the Mexican government are to blame
Does anyone know if the Pope told Castro to hold ‘free and fair elections’ ??

If Trump had any class at all he would he have simply said, "Well, that is his opinion."
But, Trump could not help himself.
Does anyone know if the Pope told Castro to hold ‘free and fair elections’ ??
Did he tell the Castros to open their borders and allow people to come in Cuba and leave anytime they wanted to?
If you had any class, you would stop posting your shots at Trump.
Eleven million illegals and the Pope doesn’t think there’s enough bridges?
Gimme a break. Shame on the Pope.
We don’t need more bridges - we need big tall walls.
So....Trump should just take a verbal beating like all the other republicans have in the last 25 years ? I’m not trying to be a wise-azzz, but where has that got us ?
It takes courage to tell bad guys to straighten up when it so easy to slam good guys and they usually cower. Good on trump for speaking back at the hypocracy from this pope who thinks he’s infallible on non religious matters
I’m for Cruz, but this was stupid of the Pope. Obvious hypocrisy.
I must say I am suspicious of the Catholic candidates influence on this: Rubio, Bush. Yes they came out and said the Pope was wrong. BUT, they may have been for appearances. It is just very strange because of the timing. Don’t get me wrong, I want Trump to lose. Just saying.
The Pope doesn’t get a pass. When you enter the political arena stop your bellyaching and prepare for battle. The Pope’s job is to save souls. When’s the last time you heard him speak about that?
Exactly what Romney or McCain would have said.
We don’t need more bridges - we need big tall walls.
We do need either option bridges or walls- we need to stop paying immigrants legal or otherwise to not work.
It is like feeding bears- if you feed- they expect to be fed and get nasty when not fed.
So you want Trump to bend over and touch his toes? Just like how America is doing now under all these politicians?
>>>”If Trump had any class...
He wouldn’t have said he’d date his daughter...
If Trump had any class...
He wouldn’t have finished the all-time monument to bad taste, the Atlantic City “Taj Mahal.”
If Trump had any class...
He wouldn’t have said “You know, it really doesn`t matter what (the media) write as long as you`ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.”
If Trump had any class...
He wouldn’t mimic Michael Moore.
If Trump had any class...
He wouldn’t have had hair implants to create a yuge comb-over.
If Trump had any class...
He’d cancel his Twitter account.
If Trump had any class...
Someone call Jeff Foxworthy.
The Pope has NO jurisdiction over this nation nor its leaders, or soon to be LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD! He needs to just zip it; the Pope...NOT Trump !
Fixed it.
“Yes they came out and said the Pope was wrong. BUT, they may have been for appearances. It is just very strange because of the timing. Don’t get me wrong, I want Trump to lose. Just saying.”
What is strange about the timing? Like conspiracy Pope stuff or what?
