PopeWatch is glad that he is not the only one who has noticed similarities between The Donald and The Pope:
From one of the Maureen Mullarkey’s correspondents:
Catholics should be quite at home in a Trump administration. We’ve been living under the same style of communication during this entire pontificate — absurd unscripted remark, inevitable walk back by the press office hacks, and a contradiction by the public figure the following week.
Go here to read the rest. PopeWatch would like to be a fly on the wall during the first private meeting between President Trump and Pope Francis:
Francis: Welcome to the Vatican Mr. President.
Trump: Holy Father, it is with great pleasure that I… (Trump stops and crumples up paper.)
Francis: Is there something wrong Mr. Trump?
Trump: Yeah, my advisors wanted me to mouth some meaningless crap to you. Say, is there anywhere in this place where you and I could catch some beers and maybe some pizza and sit down and talk man to man? Maybe a nun could show Melania some of your artwork. Melania is big on that type of stuff.
Francis: Perhaps we could go to my private quarters and put our feet up. My back is killing me today.
Walking off arm in arm:
Trump: Holy Father, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship!
Yes- Widely separated at birth.. New York and Argentina. The capitalist and the socialist have such differing perspectives, but you can agree that both communicate at some visceral level and certainly not with precision in language.
. They both believe there’s a whole lotta non binding marriages out there. I know…I know…I reached my limit for August and it’s only two thirds done.
Yep, Bill, Trump would be our first divorced and re-married president . . . oh, wait!
Very good. But the irony is that folks who really like the Pope don’t like Trump at all. They must be seeing something in the Pope and Trump that isn’t there. What would that be?
