Having forced President Obama to cough up proof of his American citizenship, billionaire-businessman Donald Trump is now casting a suspicious gaze on the credentials of another world leader, Pope Benedict XVI.
“Is the Pope Catholic? I’d like to find out,” Trump said today.
“How much do we really know about this guy?” The Donald asked me during an exclusive interview this afternoon.
“We know he’s changed his name. His birth name was Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger. That doesn’t prove he’s not a Catholic. Lots of people change their names. But it does make you wonder,” The Donald said.
Trump says his suspicions were first aroused when he sent investigators to the Vatican last week, who reported the Pope’s baptismal and confirmation records were missing.
"Well I've been told very recently that the baptismal and confirmation certificates are missing," The Donald said. "I've been told they’re not there or they don’t exist. And if that's the case it's a big problem."
When asked about his sources, The Donald refused to say where he was getting his information from, saying the message, not the messenger is the real issue.
“You have to ask yourself, why doesn’t the guy just produce his baptismal certificate? Why doesn’t he release his confirmation certificate? That would settle the question once and for all.”
Trump denied his investigation into the Pope’s credentials to serve as Christ’s Vicar on Earth was just a stunt to promote his presidential aspirations or his reality TV show ‘The Celebrity Apprentice.’
He also denied any anti-Catholic bias in the investigation, saying, “I like the guy” and that he hopes the Pope can prove he’s Catholic and end all the controversy over the issue.
"I'd love to have him show his baptismal or confirmation certificate," Trump told a reporter. "And to be honest with you, I hope he can."

I hope Donald Trump never know about me. He might ask me to show proof that I am who I am. When God sent me to earth, he didn't send any certification along. The only proof is my halo which once in a while shows during sunset and whoever is looking have to cross their eye while looking at me!! HAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteYou better hope Trump don't come looking for you! That halo won't save you. Why do you think the Donald has that big pompadour? It's to hide his horns!
