BBC Chinese Service reported today (May 1st): "When asked who he wished to be the new leader of the Catholic Church, US President Donald Trump joked that he 'would like to be the Pope.' Trump stated that he had 'no preference,' but hinted that an American Cardinal from New York would be suitable for this position. The procedure for electing a new Pope will begin on May 7th following the death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday." [Wit] Comment: This old man really says anything and everything, with no filter. The election of the Pope is a very serious religious matter. It's unclear how billions of Catholic believers around the world will view this joke made by US President Donald Trump. Trump's frivolous attitude may reflect his lack of sufficient reverence for religious matters and also shows his usual casual style.
