Trump says he would scare the pope with ISIS if he slams capitalism during US visit
Soon after declaring he would seek an end to birthright citizenship, Donald Trump said he would use Islamic State extremists to scare the pope if he slammed capitalism on his upcoming visit to the U.S.
....................
Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, told CNNs Chris Cuomo that he would remind the pope that ISIS radicals want to kill him and take over the Vatican.
Id say, ISIS wants to get you,' Trump said. You know that ISIS wants to go in and take over the Vatican you have heard that. Thats a dream of theirs.
..................
Im going to have to scare the pope, Trump said. The pope, I hope, can only be scared by God, but the truth is you know, if you look at whats going on they better hope that capitalism works, because its the only thing we have right now. And its a great thing when it works properly.
