Trump Calls Out The Pope...
Donald Trump and his Trumpeters have a new target: The Pope. Hordes of angry Trump supporters took to Twitter Thursday after the Pope claimed Trump is “not Christian” for promising to build a wall across the Mexican border.“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” the Pope told journalists as he traveled back to Rome from his six day visit to Mexico on Thursday.
Never one to miss the opportunity for a fight, Trump lashed right back. “For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful … No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith,” Trump said at a campaign event in South Carolina. He went on to claim Pope Francis is a pawn of the Mexican government. “They are using the Pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves,” he said.
In a glorious turn, Trump also predicted he might one day save the Pope from ISIS. “If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened.”
On social media, outrage flowed both ways, but perhaps not surprisingly, most of it was directed at the Pope. Vocativ’s technology uncovered 1,040 uses of the words “hypocrite” or “hypocrisy” in tweets also mentioning the Pope or his handle @Pontifex during a single 45 minute period on Twitter on Thursday afternoon. We also discovered 141 mentions of the word “p*dophile.” Most were not referring to Pope Francis himself, but blaming him for not doing more to end the Catholic church’s long history of covering up child abuse inflicted by its own members.

Pope is indeed smart. How did he get inspired to come up with such statement?
The Great Wall of China? or this one?
apparently, they are not Christian(s).
So if you are Christian, start tearing down your houses and building bridges for your shelter
In Trump's mind, he THINKS not having to ask God for anything is a good thing... how ignorant can this be?...
Trump knows nothing about God's Word of Truth, or the Bible, how is it he referred to 2 Corinthians as 2(Two)Corinthians quoting scripture out of context. True Christians know that its referred to as Second Corinthians, and not Two Corinthians..
Donald Trump is the 21st century Nebuchadnezzar, and God will show Trump the handwriting on the wall in due season, and put him out to pasture just as God did brother Nab, until he came to his senses.
Trump is very disrespectful and ignorant, a true hypocritical pharisee to the core!! There's a faithful saying that is very true and Trump had better take heed, "Pride comes before a great fall!"

they're not for free, I'm selling them too....$5 a handful...
I'd be tempted to keep my mouth shut rather than criticising someone for wanting to do the same thing, just a thought
I'm not supporting Trump,but I wonder exactly about the same thing as you, because there are Refugees in horrible situation,so should not Vatican broke down their walls and build a bridge for Refuges too,before telling other to do so
Rolf
I have not looked to see if you are Christian or not but here is the definite answer.
God has given EVERYONE freewill. Even if they use that freewill to sin. But that's another subject. In short, God has given ISIS and EVERYONE freewill. So yes, they can slam anyone. It will be held against them on judgement day but that too is another matter.
Now, getting back to the Pope and Trump. I am not Roman Catholic but the Pope and Trump can do that verbal sparring if they want.
Trump is wrong, as usual, and the Pope can rebuke him!!
now I can understand you better,still I hope,that the judgement day is coming for ISIS by 25 000 US troops and is over in 3-4 weeks and because Obama is not doing that,then who ever is going to be the next US President ,I hope that he has little more understanding about war strategy,or ISIS is soon spread out everywhere like a Cancer.
Trump is for sure wrong in very important issues,but so are the Pope for sure too.
Rolf
wallshouse as my shelter.Pope should have expected response from Trump, he made his statement first. What is he now suggesting? Illegal immigration to be allowed? What will you call a person who supports or promotes illegal immigration?
“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,”
Without being Judgmental.
The Pope obviously does not understand Trumps philosophy. Trump intends building the wall and AFTER it is completed intends building a bridge over it..
Look at great wall of china??? Magnificent structure But oh the lives lost in the building of it.
The wall in Germany separating East from West came down with celebration, but the differnce in the same people who had lived on different sides of fence was a lot for Germany to over come. The mindset was so different, but overcome they did.
Trump is just doing what most politictions do opening mouth and shouting. I have not much faith in 99% of leaders around this world, but some are more stupid than others.
The walls may not entirely stop illegal migration, but they certainly slow it down - considerably!
Look what is happening in Europe - what an outcry there was when Hungary put up the fence, now there are fences everywhere, and there will be more and more of them. With that said, these fences in Europe, given the situation so far, will have to be accompanied by some serious force.
