"We have a Pope, who is totally biased against me". “They ought to look into Pope Francis,” Trump declared at the time, “because what Francis is doing is a total disgrace.” Trump also asserted that the Pope, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio “happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great”.

Btw for anyone reading this, the original is about a US judge of Mexican heritage who was presiding over the Trump University fraud case.
Trump didn't actually say this about Pope Francis, as far as we know.
Seemed wrong to me too, especially because the link mentioned Curiel.
“They ought to look into Judge Curiel,” Trump declared at the time, “because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace.” Trump also asserted that the Indiana-born Curiel “happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great”.
This was copied from the article you linked. Did you just straight up change the words?
Yes
I only plan on going to murica one more time in my life and it will be to piss on rump grave. And even then I'll wait till the line is smaller
Trump's grave will be in a bog. It won't start that way, but I think around the millionth person defecating and urinating on it in the first year, they will have to reclassify it.
I think Trump should be buried next to his first wife, with all the decorum he showed her.
Cmon now, there are so many other great places to take a piss.
Have you considered the Alamo?
Thatchers, Kissingers, Limbaugh, Reagan, Indira Ghandhi, Churchill, pol pot, etc.
For a real challenge try Kim Sung il, or Jong il.
I'm pretty stoked for Mitch McConnell. That line is opening up soon.
Have you considered the Alamo?
Ozzy, is that you?
Why aren’t you wearing a black suit, Donald? Did you even say thank you for wearing that garbage?
He wore a blue suit to a funeral? I'm not too savvy on social etiquette in regards to funerals but isn't that not... Good?
Roughly equivalent to wearing a red cocktail dress to a wedding. It's not about you and your own personal style, you're supposed to be there in attendance to honour the hosts & the party(ies) tributed, not yourself.
It depends on the funeral tbh. Where I'm from anyway suits would generally only be family and close friends.
Pope's funeral though? Black I'd consider appropriate.
This is what we need: assholes fighting assholes so no matter who comes out ahead, there's still a douchebag losing.
The dude is pathologically incapable of being somewhere without trying to make it all about him.
That probably went way over his head.
Trump was upset he had to attend the funeral instead of playing golf at one of his clubs. That’s likely all he was thinking about.
the most self-absorbed man in the world
‘Build bridges, not walls,’ was an exhortation he repeated many times.”
This is gorgeous. I love it.
Arrest him
Literally not what the headline said
Trump destroyed with facts and logic at Pope's funeral.
