President Trump humorously expressed a desire to become the next Pope during a trip to Michigan for his 100th day in office. His response to a question about the future pontiff was, “I’d like to be pope. That would be my No. 1 choice.” Pope Francis, the previous pontiff, passed away on April 21 at 88.
Trump’s joking remark about being a good Pope sparked laughter online. Despite his humor, Trump has no preferred candidate but suggested Cardinal Timothy Dolan as a suitable choice. Trump mentioned Cardinal Dolan, from New York, as a strong candidate for the position.
The selection of a new Pope commences after the novendiali mourning period for Pope Francis. 252 cardinals worldwide gather in Rome, with only those under 80 eligible to vote. Conclave votes are secret, ballots incinerated after each session. Black smoke = no pope; white = new head of Catholic Church.
