Donald Trump has told reporters that “Catholics loved” an image of him wearing papal robes posted to his social media account.
In response to a question on whether Catholics would have been offended by the image, Trump said that anyone unhappy with it was unable to “take a joke”.
“The Catholics loved it,” he remarked.
“I have no idea where it came from. Maybe it was AI, but I know nothing about it,” the president said of the image. “I just saw it last evening. Actually, my wife thought it was cute.”
Trump then joked: “To the best of my knowledge, popes aren’t big on getting married.”
Last week, he told reporters that he would like to see himself selected to be the next pontiff.

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
