He posted on X:

It is with great sadness that Jill and I learned of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was unlike any who came before him. Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most consequential leaders of our time and I am better for having known him. For decades, he served the most vulnerable across Argentina and his mission of serving the poor never ceased. As Pope, he was a loving pastor and challenging teacher who reached out to different faiths. He commanded us to fight for peace and protect our planet from a climate crisis. He advocated for the voiceless and powerless. He made all feel welcome and seen by the Church. He promoted equity and an end to poverty and suffering across the globe. And above all, he was a Pope for everyone. He was the People’s Pope - a light of faith, hope, and love.

Trump is busy figuring out how he can profit from the Pope's death. Irish_Dem Apr 21 #19

It has crossed Trump's mind to offer a free burial spot so that he can charge those who make pilgrimages to it. John1956PA Apr 21 #24

Oh yes, maybe a nice resort area. Trump's hotel and casino nearby. Irish_Dem Apr 21 #28
