“I would like to be a dad. It would be my first option”Trump had declared when journalists asked him about his preferences about the heir of the Supreme Argentine Pontiffwho died last Monday, April 21 at 88.
The image shared by Donald Trump potato dress
Color photography was published by Trump himself in his Social Truth Network and also replicated in its Instagram account. In the same, the Republican is seen the typical papal attributes: white cassock, miter in the head and a golden cross hanging around the neck.
Sitting solemnly, the former president appears with his left hand on the thigh and the right index finger pointing to heaven. The image is not accompanied by any comment from Trump himself and, according to US media that disseminated it on social networks, It would have been generated with artificial intelligence.
The fact occurs at a particularly sensitive moment for the millions of faithful around the world: hours before his death, Pope Francis held a brief encounter with the American vice president, James David Vance, an ultraconservative and Catholic convert politician. The meeting occurred just two months after the Pontiff hardly criticized the immigration policy of the Trump government, When warning about a “serious crisis” that “starts badly and will end badly.”
Asked at a press conference about his position before the future of the Vatican, Trump said: “I must say that we have a cardinal who turns out to be from a place called New York that is very good, so we will see what happens.”
Despite the wink, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, is not among the main candidates of the San Pedro throne. If another American, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Newark Archbishop, New Jersey, does. Never in history there was a Pope from the United States.
In the northern country, about 20% of the population identifies as a Catholic, and the polls in the urn of the presidential elections last November indicated that About 60% of that electorate supported Trump.
The conclave to choose the successor of the Argentino will be on May 7.
Reactions
The ex -president’s publication did not go unnoticed. The Italian minister and current Senator Matteo Renzi reacted hard in his X account.
“This is an image that offends believers, insults institutions and shows that the leader of the world right likes to make the clown,” he wrote. He added: “Meanwhile, the US economy is at risk of recession and the dollar is losing value. Sovereigntists cause damage everywhere.”
