When Pope Francis says
that Donald Trump
as "a person who thinks only
about building walls
wherever they may be
and not building bridges"
is therefore "not Christian”
the obvious response for Trump
is clearly neither
keeping his mouth shut
nor even claiming
that his border wall
is in fact
a border wall of love
but instead saying
in a speech in South Carolina
"For a religious leader
to question a person's faith
is disgraceful"
and adding
"The Mexican government fed the pope
a tremendous amount of stuff
about 'Trump is not
a good person'.
Can you imagine that?"
