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.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
