Contributing sentiments towards policy:

85% : Trump then went on to say that there is "a Cardinal we have in a place called New York who's very good."
59% : You know he's got Eric working on Trump Incense, and you know it's going to be a brand partnership with Febreze.
40% : And endorsing Donald Trump for the job of Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church is just about in line with the level of supplication Lindsey's been hitting on the regular since 2016.
37% : Trump said "I'd like to be Pope, that would be my number one choice," because sweatily making everything about himself is the only way he knows how to make a joke (or give a speech, or govern a country).
32% : Donald Trump probably does not actually want to be the Pope, but you know he was looking around at Vatican City and thinking: I could sell memberships.
12% : Anyway, a short time thereafter, also-not-Catholic Lindsey Graham posted his papal endorsement of Trump because I guess he had not yet closed the day's humiliation ring on his Apple Watch.
