at-trump-calls-out-leaders-who-want-walls

Pope Francis on Sunday called out political leaders intent on building
walls in their country and warned that they will "end up becoming
prisoners of the walls they build."

The pope made the comment while aboard the papal plane while he returned
to Italy from a trip to Morocco, according to Reuters.

"Builders of walls, be they made of razor wire or bricks, will end up
becoming prisoners of the walls they build," he said. Francis continued,
"I realize that with this problem (of migration), a government has a hot
potato in its hands, but it must be resolved differently, humanely, not
with razor wire."

The pope did not mention Trump by name, but the two have a history of
clashing over border policy. Perhaps their most public disagreement came
at the height of the 2016 elections when Francis seemed to question
Trump’s Christian faith in connection to plans for a U.S.-Mexico wall.

The pope said at the time, “A person who thinks only about building walls,
wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is
not the Gospel.”

Trump called the comments “disgraceful.”

Trump met in May 2017 with the pope at the Vatican, as part of his first
foreign trip as president. He later tweeted the visit was “the honor of a
lifetime.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
