US, February 18, 216 – US Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Republican Party, Donald Trump today said Pope Benedict XVI was misled into making disparaging comments about his person.
The Pope had said in Mexico that Trump is not a Christian for always talking about building walls and not bridges.
But Trump said the Pope was ill-advised. According to him, the Mexican government and its leadership has made many disparaging remarks about him to the Pope, because they want to continue to rip off the United States, both on trade and at the border.
“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”, he said.
For, it is disgraceful for a religious leader to question a person’s faith.
“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.
“No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith. 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’’, he said.
He argued that the Pope will swallow his words if fighters from the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq achieve their ultimate goal to hit the Vatican.
“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. ISIS would have been eradicated unlike what is happening now with our all talk, no action politicians”, he said.
