After the death of Pope Francis, Senator Lindsey Graham expressed support for Donald Trump's humorous suggestion of wanting to become Pope. The remark, made during a reporter's question, drew criticism from the Catholic community for being disrespectful. Graham tweeted his excitement about a potential Trump papacy, calling it a 'dark horse' candidate idea. He encouraged the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to remain open-minded, emphasizing the potential upsides of having a Pope who is also a U.S. President, despite the major issue of Trump not being a Catholic.
I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope. This would truly be a dark horse candidate.
Trump's off-the-cuff remark quickly drew criticism from Catholics who viewed the jokes as disrespectful to Pope Francis and the conclave.
