Trump claims credit for new American Pope Leo's election - despite having nothing to do with Conclave
Source: The Independent
Donald Trump has suggested he played a role in Chicago-born Pope Leo XIVs election as the new pontiff.
Thats despite the U.S. president having nothing to do with the traditional Conclave process that selects a new pope.
In a Truth Social rant against ABC News Sunday night, Trump sought credit for the election of Pope Leo, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost.
So funny to watch old timer Martha Raditz on ABC Fake News (the Slopadopolus show!) this morning, blurt out that, effectively, Pope Leos selection had nothing to do with Donald Trump, he wrote on Truth Social. It came out of nowhere, but it was on her Trump Deranged Mind.

(23,407 posts)Pope Bob (I say that lovingly) was chosen to get under his skin, clearly. Hes from Chicago, the city that Trump hates as much as San Francisco. Bob is just like the previous pope, very much a follower of Jesuss as principles when it comes to social responsibility, the welfare of the poor, immigrants, women, children, everything that drives Donny Two-Dolls crazy. Hell be an outspoken opponent of this administrations policies and hell outlive lorange by decades. Hes the perfect opponent.

Perhaps the Conclave picked the antithesis of Trump just to bring some love into the world.

The only thing he can claim (w/ me that is), is that he's one of the most idiotic and stupidest persons on Earth, even worse than a 6-year-old.
