Donald Trump’s statement about the Pope
This Pope Francis guy says I’m not a Christian! Can you believe it?
Look, I’m always seeing folks say nice things about this guy. I don’t get it.
I see him on TV. Hard to watch, zero talent. Okay? If you listen to him for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache.
He’s criticizing capitalism. Just shows he’s a totally biased loser who doesn’t have a clue. He’s totally biased. Should be ashamed of himself. Knows nothing about finance.
This dopey guy wants to control our U.S. politicians with the Vatican’s money. Have you noticed he’s very uncomfortable looking? Sleepy eyes. So average in every way.
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.
The Pope will do anything to stay at the trough. The Pope is being told that Donald Trump isn’t a nice person. Okay. Donald Trump is a very nice person — I am a very nice person. And I’m a very good Christian.
The Pope doesn’t have a clue. He’s clown. A real dope. Weak leader.
The Mexican government and its leadership has made many disparaging remarks about me to the Pope, because they want to continue to rip off the United States, both on trade and at the border, and they understand I am totally wise to them. The Pope only heard one side of the story — he didn’t see the crime, the drug trafficking and the negative economic impact the current policies have on the United States. He doesn’t see how Mexican leadership is outsmarting President Obama and our leadership in every aspect of negotiation.
Reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain. He should be forced to take an IQ test. I’ve been tested. Very high IQ, by the way. The highest.
This Pope, all he does is go on television is talk, talk, talk. For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current President.
They are using the Pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so, especially when so many lives are involved and when illegal immigration is so rampant.
What parts were real, and what parts were insults originally directed at someone else?
Y’mean…it’s not a direct quote?
Y’gotta give him this, though.
If he is elected president, he will be the most original voice to occupy that office since…oh, JFK. maybe since FDR. Syntax, tone…he is nobody else.
Vocal branding.
Unbelievable.

They’re all things he’s said. They’re all real in that sense.

I had a text exchange with my sweetie last night:
Me- He got into a fight with the fucking Pope- what a guy
Wife- When Jesus makes his second coming, Trump will get into a fight with him, too
Me- Jesus is low energy and weak on immigration
Wife- Doesn’t have what it takes to fight ISIS
Me- And he allowed himself to get nailed to the cross- whatta loser
As proven by BooMan’s curated collection, it’s hard to out-absurd The Donald. Damn super-duper-large performance art project happening over there in the GOP primary.
Obviously real.
It’s amazing how each of the GOP candidates has to get more extreme to try to win voters from the others. Ted Cruz is now running ads in Nevada promising to sell off all the federal land there, including national parks:

I’d love for Cruz to win the nomination – the Democrat could turn the election into a referendum on whether to give away the national parks. Holy crap – he didn’t just say this, he’s running on it as an issue!
The days of GWB dropping code words to placate the GOP base while pretending to be moderate for the Washington center-right media are long, long gone. This has been the trend for a while, but Trump has forced all of the other candidates to match his craziness if they are to compete.
Unfortunately, the Placebocrats haven’t figured out how to shine the light on the real views of the GOP Senators and Representatives in the swing districts like Trump has done for the Presidency. There is no way someone like Cory Gardner wins in Colorado if his opponent doesn’t let him follow the GWB model and pretend to be moderate. (Udall, for the record, ran a single-issue campaign with a late start focusing solely on women’s rights.)
There has been a push for a long time to sell off ALL of the national parks and give the land away to the 1% for further rapine and plunder. The Kochs are massively behind this effort. Just took a skeevy anchor baby like Cruz to make it part of his platform.
This issue won’t go away any time soon. That’s also why the Kochs were funding those mentally ill (saying that seriously) “cowboys” in Oregon with their idiotic “protest” at that bird sanctuary. Those fools were duped into believing that, if somehow they succeeded in getting the Fed Govt and the Paiute Indians to just “give” them that land, that they would get the land.
EH? NO. The Kochs woulda swooped in and claimed it, and then they woulda made d*mn sure that they were clapped in the hoosgow, as well.
Rightwing voters simply refuse to see how they’re played over and over by the 1%. Should all of the National Lands in NV be “released,” it wouldn’t be the proles would benefit in any way, shape or form.
But as I said, this issue is far from over, and there will be many more efforts to take away federal lands from YOU and ME, the rightful owners of it. Bank on it.
I laughed when I saw the second article you linked to. How is it possible that trump has insulted 196 people on twitter? I mean, I watched trump on TV saying he gets along with everyone!
I try not to call people stupid, but damn, anyone who even seriously considers voting for trump as president has to be beyond stupid. Apologies for the name-calling, but I can’t seem to help myself.
Doesn’t Trump bellow stuff like this just about any time he opens his pie hole? Seems like he’s always insulting someone else either for some perceived slight that Donald’s “suffered,” or for their yuuuugely wrong opinion/whatever about something that Donald wishes to project that he, the great mastermind, disagrees with.
It’s the Donald’s schtick. His rabid fans love it. And I’ve now heard a number of those fans interviewed. The more honest and erudite fans fully admit that they just love the “show” and it makes them “laugh.” Truly.
Others are less clear in their fandumb. Seems like they just enjoy bullying for bullying’s sake. Doesn’t matter who’s being bullied and for what reason. Just a bunch of losers, frankly, championing on a bully.
JMHO, of course.
His fans are “losers” in the sense that they have been lied to endlessly by their purported “party,” by their churches, by just about everyone. Lower class whites have taken blows that they didn’t expect to deal with. And the sole solution their offered is to kick the minorities where it hurts. Really doesn’t do bupkiss to improve their lots in life, but it appears that these voters have lost the ability (if they ever had it) to think critically. And so on…
ummmmmm….just how SURE are we that Trump is NOT a Clinton plant? Could anyone here on this site orchestrate a 6 month series of insults and lies this good?
And now Cruz in yet another dirty trick exposed in 30 seconds flat.
i for one am not sure
Pope Francis is, first and foremost – even beyond the constituency of his massive Catholic believers – a moral leader with a global view and voice. That’s his job.
Trump is a parochial clown who horrifies the relatively tiny number of people outside the US who’ve caught his show. And he couldn’t spell “moral” if you spotted him the first three letters. If spread widely, riffs like this may energize his base, but most anyone who’s not brain-dead or a sociopath will be horrified that this buffoon is even being mentioned in the same breath as the Oval Office. And if there are actually enough of the brain-dead and sociopathic to get a guy like this elected as POTUS, the US will rapidly complete its descent from post-War beacon of freedom and opportunity to complete pariah state.
I’d like to think there aren’t enough voters like that, but then, I used to think that anyone who routinely lied like, say, GWB and especially Romney did would be drummed out of the body politic by the sheer scorn. I could be wrong about this, too. I hope not, both for the sake of the rest of us who live here, the inevitably massive numbers of war dead elsewhere, and the global economy. Among other things.
Geov, Romney WAS drummed out. In large part because of his lies (47% anyone???).

Rubio & JEB both side with Trump against meany meany Pope’s noive to castigate Trump.
Just as I said yesterday: WHITE conservative Catholics will have NO PROBLEM with Trump attacking the Pope. NONE. They’ll clap and cheer for Trump and say what a yuuuuuuuuuuuuge victim he was to the meany Pope, who had no right to speak to him that way.
Noted: both Rubio & JEB are RC. Guess maybe they’re both angling for the Veep slot?
Eh? It’s all OK if you PRETEND to be a Republican.
They would have loved to give him lip service if he’d stayed in his box and just made the usual mealy mouthed generalities expected of him.
Trump has nothing to fear from losing the odd Catholic swing voter, though.
Plenty of enraged victims getting pulled out the woodwork yeehahing for their Hulk Hogan’
Politics has finally reached WWF IQ levels…
You fucking don’t know what you are talking about .. are you a Democrat?
The Catholic vote in America are IMMIGRANTS from Poles, the Irish, Italians to the Spanish speaking citizens from Cailfornia across the southern states.
It’s a matter of time, but the Donald will fall on his face. He is all full of being a christian for PR purpose and the evangelicals love their new missionary of the faith in wealth as a grace from their god. Just like the Jews in the Sinai and the golden calf, waiting for a sign of Jahweh to enter their promised land. What a sad, sad world we live in .. yet that was prophesied in the old testament too, wasn’t it if I remember correctly.
If anyone in the Republican line-up of candidates manages to pull off victory for the White House in November, the likelyhood of a great ball of fire in the Middle East has moved the doomsday clock forward to 10 seconds before 00:00 hours.
Conservatism in Catholic America is centered with the hierarchy, not by it’s base.

I keep fantasizing that Trump is just filming a new reality show– real candidates of the Republican Party. His costars don’t even know they’re part of the show. The end of season 1 will be his nomination speech at the RNC , instead of balloons falling there’ll be a massive money drop onto the convention floor. Trump will grab a bill out of the air, and use it to light a big Cuban and fade to black as the star bangled banner plays.. Now That’s television!
