Pope Leo XIV live: New pope due to lead Mass in Sistine Chapel after becoming first US pontiff
www.bbc.co.uk
Donald Trump says it's a "great honour" for an American to lead the Catholic Church.

This also means Trump doesn’t need to worry about a 25% tariff on foreign religions.

    Trump wanted to be so The pope so bad that he was posting pictures of himself as Pope.
    If anything I think he will be pissed that an American was chosen and it wasn’t him.
    I give it a few hours before he’s posting that the papal election was rigged

      I don’t think Trump seriously thought he would be the Pope.

      I think Trump will think he has some control over and a direct line to an American Pope.

      He already congratulated the new pope in a statement.

      Let’s not make shit up. There’s enough real scandals surrounding him.

        There’s no making anything up, I clearly made a bet on his behavior and I was wrong.
        Let’s not twist words when there’s enough real misinformation on this site.

          Yeah, I should have chosen my words more wise, but I get angry at circlejerks that draw away from the real issues.

          Everbody talking about a stupid AI image and making it the news cycle and washing down every serious attempt at a discussion.
