Papa Francisco received Trump, but faced him: ‘It’s not a Christian’

The billionaire, who then promised to raise a wall along the US border with Mexico, qualified the comment of “Scandalous.”

On Monday (21), after the death of the 88-year-old Pope Donald Trump posted a brief message on his platform, Social Truth: “Rest in peace, Papa Francis! May God bless you, as well as all who loved Him.”

Later, he announced that he ordered the American flags to be raised in half a mast in public buildings in honor of the Pope, whom he referred to as a “good man” and has predicted to go to Rome, accompanied by the first lady, Melania, to watch the funeral.

Vice President Jd Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019 and met with the leader of the Catholic Church on Sunday, was also concise in his message: “My heart is with the millions of Christians around the world who loved him. I was glad to see him yesterday, although he was obviously very sick,” he wrote in X.

The American president, who defines himself as a Christian, said on the day of his inauguration that God “saved him” from an attempted murder to stop the general decay of the United States.

He created an “Faith Office” in the White House and recently published a photo in which he appears praying in the Oval Hall, surrounded by evangelical spiritual guides.
