President Trump humorously expressed his desire to become the next pope after the recent death of Pope Francis. While he stated he had no real preference for the successor, he mentioned Cardinal Timothy Dolan from New York as a commendable figure. As the Catholic Church prepares for the selection of a new pope, various cardinals, including Cardinal Joseph Tobin from Newark, are in contention, though no clear frontrunner is established. This context is set against Trumpâs past criticisms of Pope Francis, particularly on issues of immigration.
Trump noted he actually had no preference, adding, "I must say, we have a cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who's very good, so we'll see what happens."
There has never been a pope from the US.
