US EditionTrump jokes that he’d like to be the next pope, plugs NY cardinal
- Speaking to reporters outside the White House earlier in the week, President Donald Trump humorously expressed a desire to become the next pope, while mentioning Cardinal Timothy Dolan from New York.
- The comment followed Pope Francis' death on April 21 and comes ahead of the papal conclave scheduled for May 7 to select his successor.
- Senator Lindsey Graham jokingly described Trump as an unexpected contender and encouraged those involved in the papal election to remain open to the unusual possibility.
- Experts including historian Miles Pattenden say Trump's endorsement is unlikely to influence cardinals, and the chances of an American pope remain slim despite the remarks.
- The event sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporters amused, others skeptical, and political figures dismissing the idea as unrealistic.
