He should take inspiration the one thing all popes have done and do it right this moment.
WTF, disgusting.
He can't be pope......... He touches women, not kids
He was BFF's with Epstein.
he's been on epstiens island so he qualifies
It must be embarrassing to be American.
It's the worst. Even on the state level. People in the state I'm from used to have a positive stereotype about them, so that I felt good about sharing where I grew up in conversation.
That state turned red and they've been legislating against anyone who isn't a white, straight, rich person. If people find out where I'm from, I have to do extra work to make sure people don't assume I'm a hateful idiot.
So that's what it's like, but on the international level now. I wish I had dual citizenship so I could at least travel internationally with a different passport (or relocate altogether). I know Americans have had a reputation of being rude or entitled abroad, but that's far better than people assuming I'm a Trump-loving, delusional, fascist.
It's way past that now.
So cringe to be american rn eeewwww and he was elected twice HAHAHAHAAHAHA embarrassing AF
Infuriatingly so.
KG was right.
Who's KG?
Lol, are you referencing KGs remarks in Australia, by chance...?
Yup.
@Nangijala More like horrifying. I'd be embarrassed if I hadn't spent the last three decades opposing all this shit.
Trump, that's not how it works.
Just because you ordered Vance to assassinate that old man doesn't mean you're the Pope. Vance, as his slayer, is the Pope now, so you have to kill Vance.
There can be only one!
What did it say that the president of the USA is non-stop pulling attention seeking stunts like your crazy aunt on Facebook? Guess it must be lonely being surrounded by sycophants.
Nah, he is just ~~gaslighting~~ overwhelming everyone. Tons of insane and insulting shit to occupy the media and people, so that he can pull all the stunts he he wants. Drowning everything in noise so that no one knows what to focus on anymore.
Don't get me wrong, he is batshit insane bud there is a certain method to his madness.
Edit: Looks like I was using 'gaslighting' incorrectly.
It's a terrifying mix of a Gish gallop (a stampede of lies and half truths, delivered so fast they can't be countered) and razzle dazzle (camouflage via a swarm of irrelevant or counter intuitive points).
It's terrifyingly effective, and very difficult to counter.
Would be much easier to counter if there was a functional system of checks and balances or a well-educated population that'd hold their leaders accountable, but here we are.

He's distracting from the fact that he called for all Democrats to be removed from Congress. It's a smokescreen bc of how ludicrous it is.

Trump has said that although he was “confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian.”
Uhhhh....he's not even Catholic? That's kinda a prerequisite for THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!
He's completely trolling, right? I mean it's gotta be cover for something happening that he wants to distract people from. He can't be that stupid that to think he can actually be Pope......can he?
I don't think he's trolling, I think he's just that stupid.
He's wholly incapable of understanding that the things he says or believes can be false. "If I said it/believe it, it must be true."
I guess he was thinking covfefe while telling the social media specialist to post it
He's no stranger to becoming leader of something while having no idea how it works.
IDK, what he said about his daughter and knowing Jeffey Epstein are some solid credentials.
Mr.-Having-a-good-time-ruining-everything
Get in the spirit of the game, people!
Great idea!
What figure is this? Sikh maybe?
Should’ve used Luce.
To be fair he is a molester
Also, not news in my opinion. Sorry.
Exactly.
It's all meant to make people outraged and distracted, and we all keep falling for it.
Please let's not entertain completely absurd shit like that.
Imagine every time your boomer aunt posted that same shit Trump does on her Facebook it ended up in the news-- it's clearly delusional and giving it attention gives it validity even if it is only criticisms.
Yep and they've already moved onto Trump as sithlord for May 4th. This just isn't news. They're little Internet creeps and they intend to stay that way. People need to stop caring about what "memes" the "official Whitehouse account" posts.
Edit: Ask yourselves, is it really news that this guy typed a sentence into an AI image generator?

Im not religious anymore…
…but the Bible literally predicted this.
The Bible is more of less a study in human error and human potential. Of course they have caught on to the concept of narcissistic idiots in power being a bad thing. I'm sure there were plenty of those back in the day and plenty who were far worse than trump.
Hell, we have leaders right now in the world who are worse than trump and they have all been in power for decades. The biggest difference is that most of them are smarter and more cunning than trump, who is an 80 year old toddler that wants attention all the time.
