  1. Good one ha.

    If it’s not fake news it is a good troll. Trump is known to troll from time to time.

      1. A young man, who must be an authourity because he told me in the ‘current day’, that anyone can be elected Pope. He cited the case of an apparently concerned catholic who showed up outside the voting venue to find out who would be the next Pope. When the electors couldn’t agree they decided to chose the Concerned Catholic.

        Therefore, based on this “current day” expert, who could be correct, Trump could be pope. That is, if he is a Catholic in good standing. He could be as JD Vance moves in mysterious ways!

        1. So few people have so little understanding on how the Vatican actually selects a pope.
          First, you must be a Cardinal named by a previous pope, you must not be older than a certain age, who is eligible to vote in a conclave, I think it’s 75 years, and of course, you must be in communion with the church.
          You can’t just walk in off the street and become pope.

          As for the AI image, Bill Krystol asked JD Vance if, as a Catholic, he was in any way at all offended at the image. To which, JD responded by saying something like “I’m more offended at people who start wars than people who make a joke.” I can’t remember the exact quote, but the internet responded in JD’s favor.

          As for myself, speaking as a Catholic, I tend to agree with JD.

          1. Not correct.
            ” According to canon law, the following individuals are eligible to be elected pope:

            Any baptized Catholic male with the use of reason.
            Not necessarily a cardinal–while it has been more than 500 years since a non-cardinal was elected, historical precedent allows for other clerics or even laymen to be chosen.
            Willing to be ordained a bishop–if the elected candidate is not already a bishop, he must be immediately ordained before assuming the papacy.”

          2. I stand corrected, although in practice, the pope is selected by the conclave of Cardinals, so although I will (shockingly) admit that it is possible for a laymen to be selected according to Canon Law, it is not likely to occur in practice.

          3. When they hold a conclave, do they sing the conclave song? “Oh, we got a big old Conclave, rockin’ through the night, we got a big old Conclave, ain’t she a beautiful sight?

        2. Well, when a man walked into the area where the election was being held and a dove settled upon his head, that’s how we got Pope Fabian…!!!

  2. The, “Outrage”, is as fake and phony as the picture.
    Slow news day and the MSM has nothing else to whine about.
    Also, since when is internet outrage considered real?
    One of the characteristics of mental illness, if not outright derangement, IMHO, is the lack of a sense of humor.

    1. “ One of the characteristics of mental illness, if not outright derangement, IMHO, is the lack of a sense of humor. “

      I was going to say something along these lines, but you summarized it perfectly. People who are outraged by this – even some on “our side” – are joyless malcontents and probably still wear masks while driving solo in their cars.

      Keep up the trolling Trump, as most normal people either enjoyed this outright, or see it as a bit of harmless fun.

    2. Just as there is no humor permitted in Islam, there is no humor in leftardism.

      1. My take is that Trump is trolling The Cardinals … urging them NOT to pick another fascist-communist Pope … but to pick a Populist Pope … in Trump’s image. Sacrilegious? Hardly. Political? Absolutely.

  3. Would probably be a better choice, from what we saw from the last one…JMHO

    Just said what many are already thinking…

  4. I can speak to this – Fake or no fake I actually thought it was rather humorous. That said – I don’t think Trump would do such a thing but if he did…oh well. Let’s all move on from the media’s lame attempt to fashion this into the most blasphemous act since “Draw Mohammed” Day in Texas 10 years ago.
    Republicans against Trump, a group that describes itself as “pro-democracy conservative Republicans fighting Trump & Trumpism.” The group reposted the image, calling it “a blatant insult to Catholics and a mockery of their faith.”

    Oh sure.
    Allow me to interpret: ”We hate Christianity with the heat of a thousand Suns and would never subscribe to your silly fairy god in the sky. However – if we can score points against Trump by feigning outrage and thus appearing sympathetic to your beliefs we’re certainly not above doing so.”

    1. Imagine the outrage if Trump dressed up as Mo the Pedophile Prophet

    1. UnMe. Fifty bucks says he’s still triple masked while driving solo in his Prius.

    2. It was just a prank/troll.
      I’m not offended in the least.

      It’s the people who are “calling this out” that I’m worried about.

  5. Catholics generally have sense of humor. Ultimately, you offend God at your own risk, answer for it when the time comes.

    1. I take umbrage to offending God. I don’t take any, “offending” the pope. The pope himself did a lot of that by, for example, wearing an Indian head dress last year while visiting Canada to “reconcile.”

      If he can do it…

  6. Trump is most likely a dyslexic, and we always clown around. Read up on Hawkins, he also used to get in shit for clowning around in skhool.

      1. The pope is a communist. The Church isn’t.
        And you can emphasize all you want, it won’t make your lies/slander become the truth.

        And I resent you even implying that I am a communist!

  7. I don’t see the point, I did chuckle.. and I drive a Prius. I laugh when I fill up for $40.

  8. Which is more offensive, to post a picture mildly mocking papism, or to say it is understandable to burn Catholic Churches?

    1. just before the eleection l called the local liberal mp who won, what his thoughts were on the hundreds of churches burned down because of a lie.
      sound of crickets.
      l hate them with a fury but have given up because lm fighting against MILLIONS of them. so, just give me my monthly pension, give me the proceeds of the sale of my house and l will pick a spot somewhere is SW ontariowe, maybe close to huron or maybe erie, take my doggies for frequent walks, pluck away on my electric yamaha 6 string (amazing the difference in handling with new strings).

      all the crushing grinding pulverising DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT.
      you ALL gave it the ‘green’ light in the case of ontariowe liberals, LITERALLY aka ‘green energy act’. what gawdawful dunces. gee, am l referring to the spendthrifts in powah or, OR, the ones who keep putting them there?

  9. Liberals defending the Catholic Church – Trump can make them do anything!

  10. “True Catholic” Joe Biden has issued a fatwa against Trump. He has called for a Charlie Hebdo styled massacre at The White House.

    Biden started by using his old man whisper to indicate his displeasure … then suddenly burst into his angry old man shouting as he called for a worldwide fatwa against Trump!

  11. what everybody misses, is the FACT the likeness is so REALISTIC. AI will be a frankenstein monster. it will destroy all it touches. it will cause crime, havoc, violence, danger everywhere, its the last thing that has now come out of Pandora’s box.
    a day or two ‘outrage’? hmmm? compared to what’s coming?

  12. Let me guess, the outrage is from the post modern leftists who don’t believe in God. Their atheists but they are offended.

    1. Exactly! Kinda in the same way that leftists moan about “the black man” … but have never met one or had any interaction with a black person – ever.

  13. It’s easy to laugh this one off, exceptional Troll work Mr. President!

    [Cue nervous clapping by his entire sycophant cabinet.]

  14. Trump posts a joke.

    #Karen demands to speak to the manager.

    Correct response: laugh at the joke, punch #Karen in the face.

    Maybe the next Pope can hire Elon to clean up the Church.

  15. Which is worse?
    1) a mean tweet
    2) jailing pro-lifers and actively promoting the murder of children.

  16. I agree with Vice President JD Vance on this one… better to poke fun than to start wars

    I’ll wait for someone to have AI draw up images of the leadership of Iran holding hands with 8 years old boys.
    So stunning, so brave

    Then move on to Moe the islamic guy doing the same, perhaps with the Mad Magazine kid “what me worry?”
    Offended? oh really?
    Shall we talk about the University of Saskatchewan and the “piss Christ” art work.?

  17. Is there a hat-maker in the crowd?

    Make the Pope Straight Again.
