But some conservative Republicans have followed the current to the president’s joke this week. Among them, Senator Lindsey Graham, from South Carolina. “I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope,” he said on Tuesday in a post in X. “The first Pope-President of the United States. UU. It has many advantages,” he added. “Attentive to white smoke … Trump mmxxviii!”

After its joke to journalists on Tuesday, Trump, who has significantly expanded the influence of conservative Christians in the White House, said he did not have a clear preference with respect to the next Pope. But then he pointed to the Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, as one of his favorite candidates. Dolan does not appear among the favorites that have emerged to be the next Pope, who will be chosen in a conclave that begins on Wednesday.
