Washington (EFE) .- The president of the United States, Donald Trump, published this Friday in his account of the social network an image of his dressed as a potato.
The image of the US ruler is made with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and presents it with white cassock, mitra, golden cross and seems to be to give a blessing, since it has a right arm inclined to the height of the shoulder and with the index finger raised.
Trump’s image appears while the Catholic Church awaits the celebration of the conclave that will choose the new Pontiff, next Wednesday, after the death of Pope Francis on Monday, April 21, and two days after the president suggested that he would be a good option to occupy the throne of St. Peter.
«I would like to be dad. That would be my number one option. I think it would be a great Pope. No one would do it better than me, ”said the president on Wednesday from the White House.
With this image, Trump again generates controversy, since at the funeral of Pope Francis, last Saturday in the Vatican, the protocol jumped by attending dressed in blue and not black, as the tradition dictates in these cases.
Archbishop Dolan, possible papal candidate
Trump has also said that he would like New York Archbishop, cardinal Timothy Michael Dollan, one of the American prelates present in the conclave, was the next Pope.
«I must say that there is a cardinal from a place called New York that is very good. We will see what happens ».
The United States will have ten cardinals represented in the conclave and Dolan was already present in 2013, in which the Argentine cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was chosen as the new Pope.
Dolan received two votes in 2013 and in this new conclave will be present again until the mystery of the new Pontiff is resolved with the white smoke.
Other of the American cardinals mentioned are Raymond Burke, considered one of the favorites in the most conservative field, and Robert Prevost, appointed by Francisco Prefect of the Dicastery of the Bishops and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America and a Spanish -speaking fluid.
