Okay, I'll admit it.

I've been virtually camped out at Trump's Twitter account all afternoon waiting for the inevitable explosion following Frankie Uno's diss of him. You know it's going to come flooding eventually. The man will not take a word of criticism from anyone without eventually flying into a Twitter rage. Anyone. Including the Pope.

Right now, the only thing there is a link to Trump's Facebook statement where he talks about "if and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS" (!). But you know more a lot more is going to come spewing soon.

It's like waiting for fireworks on the Fourth of July.

2. Pope Francis questions Donald Trump's Christianity

Pope Francis said "a person who thinks only about building walls... and not of building bridges, is not Christian".
The New York businessman supports deporting nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants.
Calling himself a "proud Christian", Mr Trump blamed Mexico for the Pope's remarks, calling them "disgraceful".
Mr Trump has alleged that Mexico sends "rapists" and criminals to the US.
Pope Francis made the comments at the end of a six-day trip to Mexico.
"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel," he said.

Usually these things go in the other direction, but Trump tends to just make things up as he goes along.

Then again, he may just be stuck in Blame Mexico mode.

(of course I still think that Trump is a Reptilian with a flawed hair simulation )

But with Trump, I feel as though it's 100% neurological pathology.
