Trump Jokes About Aspiring to Papacy Amid Pope Francis' Funeral

President Donald Trump humorously expressed his desire to become pope while heading to a rally in Michigan, shortly after attending Pope Francis’ funeral.

During a light-hearted exchange with reporters, President Donald Trump, en route to a rally in Macomb County, Michigan, jokingly stated his interest in becoming pope. This comment came on the heels of his attendance at Pope Francis’ funeral, where the late pontiff was mourned by global leaders, including Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Pope Francis passed away on Easter Monday at the age of 88, prompting a significant gathering at the Vatican for his funeral Mass.

While discussing the future leadership of the Catholic Church, Trump, who is not Catholic, mentioned Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York as a potential candidate, though he also humorously claimed the papacy as his ’number one choice.’ The Vatican has announced that a conclave to elect Pope Francis’ successor will commence on May 7, with cardinals from around the world, including ten from the U.S., participating in the selection process.

Trump’s remarks were made as he celebrated his 100th day back in the Oval Office, marking the occasion with a rally in Michigan, a state significant to his political campaigns. His comments on the papacy, though made in jest, added a lighter note to the solemn atmosphere surrounding the transition in the Catholic Church’s leadership.
