Trump says he doesn't know yet if he'll attend Pope Francis' funeral

President Donald Trump said he doesn’t know yet if he’ll attend the funeral for Pope Francis.

"I don’t know yet," Trump told reporters at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday. "We’re going to be briefed on it right now -- we’re going to the Oval Office."

"I just have to look at the timing. We just lowered the flags throughout the country," he added.

When asked how he would remember Pope Francis' legacy, Trump responded, "He's a very good man who loved the world. And he especially loved people who were having a hard time. And that's good with me."

OK, that won't happen, but it sure looked like Pope Frank had no use for the Fascist Felon or VD Jance.

Disrespectful filth doesn't deserve recognition. He's no leader and he's no Christian.

Is Putin and Ung going, too? Maybe they can carpool.
