As Church awaits a Conclave, President Trump puts up picture of himself as next Pope

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

80% : " Trump was joking that time, and later said he had no preference in the election, before pointing out the cardinal in New York - Timothy Dolan - who "happens to be very good," Trump said.
67% : Trump has been president for less than four months and has had an interesting relationship with the Catholic Church in that short time.
56% : He has had strong support from weekly Mass going Catholics, who praise the president for his actions against abortion and promotion of keeping transsexual persons from using same-sex facilities and school sports.
38% : In many ways, the picture doubled down on a previous statement Trump had made to reporters last week.
34% : It is more perplexing if he then puts it on the official White House pages on X - the platform formally known as Twitter - and Instagram, but that's what Donald Trump did.
28% : Francis even once said a "man is not Christian" if he said some of things he had heard Trump had said. Was the U.S. president really just acting like a college sophomore?
27% : On May 3, the vice president answered Bill Kristol asking, "you fine with this disrespect and mocking [by Trump] of the Holy Father?"
27% : Trump could be just making a sophomoric joke, or he might be testing how far he can push the Catholic electorate while he is in office.
23% : But still, why do something like this less than two weeks after Pope Francis died? The late pontiff had a somewhat complicated relationship with Trump, disagreeing with him on immigration and refugees.
