Excerpt: President Donald Trump on Thursday afternoon shared his excitement with reporters outside the White House following the announcement of the new pope — the first-ever American elected to the role.
"What greater honor could there be," said the president at the West Wing portico.
"We were a little bit surprised, but very happy. It’s just a great, absolutely great honor," President Trump said.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Sounds like he may be the wrong way - similar to the last pope. I hope we don't hear more about the climate change nonsense or condemnation for not wanting to flood the country with illegals when the Vatican has the same restrictions.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Apparently, he has registered as a Republican, although that may be a long time ago, and has run some sort of pro-life project. Good signs.

@SomeMichGuy More like easily disproven dogma.Caring for the environment is indeed a worthy and necessary cause ,but if you really do that ,then you are a CONSERVATIONIST,and not involved in the other nonsense.

@DavidT8899 It isn't "easily disproven" because, like evolution, it has consilience on its side...
