I can't tell if people believe he is serious about being pope.
It must be embarrassing to be American.
It's the worst. Even on the state level. People in the state I'm from used to have a positive stereotype about them, so that I felt good about sharing where I grew up in conversation.
That state turned red and they've been legislating against anyone who isn't a white, straight, rich person. If people find out where I'm from, I have to do extra work to make sure people don't assume I'm a hateful idiot.
So that's what it's like, but on the international level now. I wish I had dual citizenship so I could at least travel internationally with a different passport (or relocate altogether). I know Americans have had a reputation of being rude or entitled abroad, but that's far better than people assuming I'm a Trump-loving, delusional, fascist.
Depending on your skill set, relocating is not such a big deal. Of course I understand that it's a leap of faith, if you don't have already connections to that place.
It's way past that now.
So cringe to be american rn eeewwww and he was elected twice HAHAHAHAAHAHA embarrassing AF
I say we nominate him for Sainthood...
Trump, that's not how it works.
Just because you ordered Vance to assassinate that old man doesn't mean you're the Pope. Vance, as his slayer, is the Pope now, so you have to kill Vance.

He's distracting from the fact that he called for all Democrats to be removed from Congress. It's a smokescreen bc of how ludicrous it is.

Im not religious anymore…
…but the Bible literally predicted this.
As a former Christian, It's been SO hard keeping my non-faith while actively living at the same time as the Anti-Christ.

Dude REALLY wants to be the anti-Christ, and the "Christians" that put him in office want that too. They think they'll be rewarded for putting their fellow humans(& the planet) through hell, and bringing on the end-of-days sooner, rather than later.

Trump has said that although he was “confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian.”
Uhhhh....he's not even Catholic? That's kinda a prerequisite for THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!
He's completely trolling, right? I mean it's gotta be cover for something happening that he wants to distract people from. He can't be that stupid that to think he can actually be Pope......can he?
He's no stranger to becoming leader of something while having no idea how it works.
I don't think he's trolling, I think he's just that stupid.
I guess he was thinking covfefe while telling the social media specialist to post it

If Obama had made a stupid meme dressed as the pope, "Christians" would have burned the White House to the ground, it would have literally started a war. Its absolutely INSANE to me how much this man gets away with. He's right, you really can do anything when you're rich.
It is white piece of human shit privilege.
Iono about the white part, Biden couldn't have pulled that off either.
It's really as simple as Trump hating the right people. He hates the same people that his voters hate and because of that he can get away with almost anything. Trump voters have been waiting a long time for a president that will openly and unapologetically spew hatred. They ignore the fact he is a narcissistic lying idiot who does not stand for almost anything religious people claim they care about.
Oh yeah I totally get that, that was my point: it's not white privilege, it's just telling people what they want to hear.

This was Trumps holy Easter message
What did it say that the president of the USA is non-stop pulling attention seeking stunts like your crazy aunt on Facebook? Guess it must be lonely being surrounded by sycophants.
Nah, he is just ~~gaslighting~~ overwhelming everyone. Tons of insane and insulting shit to occupy the media and people, so that he can pull all the stunts he he wants. Drowning everything in noise so that no one knows what to focus on anymore.
Don't get me wrong, he is batshit insane bud there is a certain method to his madness.
Edit: Looks like I was using 'gaslighting' incorrectly.
It's a terrifying mix of a Gish gallop (a stampede of lies and half truths, delivered so fast they can't be countered) and razzle dazzle (camouflage via a swarm of irrelevant or counter intuitive points).
It's terrifyingly effective, and very difficult to counter.

To be fair he is a molester
Mr.-Having-a-good-time-ruining-everything
WTF, disgusting.
As soon as the pope died I told my partner he would do this.
"Some say, not me, that I would be the best pope there ever was. I am the most wonderful christian man there is. The presidency has been very successful - just look at the polls! From today I declare myself POPE TRUMP!!! The DANGEROUS left will call me many nasty things, many bad things. They are deranged and nasty but I am now the pope and they will not do anything about it because they are WEAK. Some say Sleepy Joe Biden killed the pope, now I don't know if that is true, I don't think it is but it might be true, I don't know. KING POPE TRUMP 2028!!!"

He can't be pope......... He touches women, not kids
He was BFF's with Epstein.
he's been on epstiens island so he qualifies
Also, not news in my opinion. Sorry.
Exactly.
It's all meant to make people outraged and distracted, and we all keep falling for it.
Please let's not entertain completely absurd shit like that.
Imagine every time your boomer aunt posted that same shit Trump does on her Facebook it ended up in the news-- it's clearly delusional and giving it attention gives it validity even if it is only criticisms.

Again, this fully convinces me he definitely did NOT order the assassination of the pope.
