    Aren’t most Christians in the US Protestants? Especially the Evangelical Protestants he’s always targeting? Does Trump even know what kind of Christians he’s trying to please?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t know not all Christians actually follow the pope

      Technically the only 100% necessary qualifications to be pope are:

      1. Be a man
      2. Be (specifically) Catholic

      And a third extremely common but not strictly necessary qualification of: Be a Cardinal.

      I’m pretty sure Trump is some flavor of Baptist, which does in theory prevent his rise to the papacy, unless he specifically converts from whatever flavor of Baptist to Catholicism. But that risks alienating the evangelical protestants that fucking hate Catholics and think the papacy is the satanic antichist.
