President Donald Trump knows who he wants to see elected pope by the upcoming conclave: himself. “Who do you see as pope?” a reporter asked the president Tuesday. “As pope? I’d like to be pope,” Trump replied without hesitation.

President Donald Trump joked on Tuesday that he'd like to be the next pope, while answering questions from the media before heading to Michigan for a rally to mark his 100th day in office. The president also said there is a cardinal from New York that is "very good" as a potential pick.
