President Trump jokingly says he'd 'like to be pope'
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Tuesday joked he’d like to be the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church, days after Pope Francis, 88, died.
[…]
“I’d like to be pope,” Trump told reporters outside the White House. “That would be my number one choice.”
In response to Trump’s remarks, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham jokingly wrote on X that he was “excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope.”
“This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility!” he wrote. “The first Pope-U.S. President combination has many upsides. Watching for white smoke…. Trump MMXXVIII!”
