I’d Like to Be Pope – Trump Jokingly Says During an Interview
In a light-hearted moment on Tuesday, former U.S. President Donald Trump joked that he’d love to be the next pope.
When asked who he thought should become the next head of the Catholic Church, Trump replied, “I’d like to be pope. That would be my number one choice.” He quickly added that he doesn’t have a real preference but mentioned a New York cardinal he thinks highly of, saying, “We have a cardinal from New York who’s very good, so we’ll see.”
While Trump was likely referring to Cardinal Timothy Dolan, he’s not currently among the leading candidates. However, another American, Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, is reportedly being considered.
Trump and his wife, Melania, had recently traveled to Rome to attend the funeral of the late Pope Francis, who passed away at 88. Over the years, Trump and the late pontiff had clashed on issues like immigration, with Francis often calling for compassion, while Trump pushed for stricter policies.
Soon, around 135 Catholic cardinals are expected to gather for a secret vote to choose the next pope, with no obvious successor yet in sight.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
