00:14ai generated image of himself as the pope you heard that right the donald in papal robes it's
00:20enough to make you spit out your communion wine now this wasn't just some random tuesday tweet
00:25trump was fresh off a trip to rome for pope francis's funeral apparently all that incense
00:31and gregorian chanting went straight to his head he even joked about wanting to be the next pope
00:35because who needs the college of cardinals when you have a twitter account and a knack for self-promotion
00:40the image itself is something else trump with a stern papal expression decked out in white robes
00:46and the iconic papal mitre he looks about as comfortable as a vegan at a bbq festival but
00:52hey at least he didn't put his name on the side of the sistine chapel

01:03on the vatican let's pump the brakes trump might be the current president but leading the catholic
01:08church is a whole different ball game for starters they frown upon multiple marriages and using holy
01:14water to style your hair and let's not forget trump's religious background is a bit of a head
01:19scratcher raised presbyterian he now identifies as a non-denominational christian that's about as
01:26specific as saying you enjoy food when asked about your favorite cuisine of course trump being trump

01:49wit his warmth and his ability to actually fit into a papal mitre without looking like he's wearing
01:55a giant traffic cone but trump's endorsement that's like having your fashion sense validated
02:00by a disco ball it's flashy it's loud and it might just make you question everything you thought you
02:06knew about style needless to say reactions to trump's papal pronouncements were mixed
02:12some folks found it hilarious a harmless bit of trumpian trolling others were downright offended
02:18seeing it as disrespectful to the catholic church and the solemnity of the papal selection process
