Well, he's not a Cardinal, which is usually the pool of people a Pope is chosen from, and Trump hasn't officially thrown his hat into the ring to be considered. So yes, it was most likely a joke. Besides, he already has an elected position for the next several years.

Seriously, are you sure? Do you honestly think that if the Conclave came to him and offered it to him he wouldn't take it? Can you possibly be sure of that? We're talking about Donald J. Trump here. I mean deep down you're not even 100% sure since you said "most likely."
It's a weird thing to say though, right? Like saying Canada should be the 51st state or that we should forcefully take territory from allies. Those are all kind of insane things to say aren't they?

Donald could be pope and president at the same time. And PGA champion too, no doubt.

Apparently one can become a Pope even if one is not a priest.
During the Middle Ages, four popes came from the wealthy and political Medici family, suspected of poisoning their enemies.

Perhaps he is competing for another spot in the Guinness Book of World Records? "Popes--Worst of the Worst."

Believe it or not, one U.S. Senator is ready to kiss his ring!
I thought at first maybe it was a Colbert, Kimmel, or Jon Stewart skit, but no, it's true!

He has some groveling to do after pushing back against the comment that the BMW plant in SC is a scam against the US.

He'd need to become Catholic before he could be considered for pope. Baby steps first. His wife being Catholic doesn't count.

I kind of thought you had to be moral, selfless, compassionate, spiritual, honest, and most of all God-centered.

Sadly that may have been 'presumed' yet has sometimes been very lacking in the papal elect. But I really do appreciate the partisan dig. It was so very clever.

Donald would have to become Catholic first. Which, for him presumably already baptized, would mean assenting to Catholic teaching AND going to confession.

Why would a living god to millions take the pay cut and give up sex with prostitutes and porn stars just to be Pope?

I would think it may be his first act as Pope, getting rid of confessions.
Then again, with the government trying to increase the amount of information it has on citizens, perhaps Trump will want to make all Americans required to go to confession and ensure the government gets a record of confessions.

...he's probably envious of the massive and adorig crowds that assembled in Vatican City for the pope's funeral.

Ah. but he is probably considered way too young. I'm expecting a pope 65 to 75 years old. The older the sooner they get to pick again. Maybe even 80.

Pope John Paul II had three million show up for his funeral.
