US ELECTION: Trump Reacts To Pope Francis' Statement Describing Him as Non-Christian

Donald Trump, the U.S. President, has replied to Pope Francis, who earlier criticized him and described him as non-Christian.
Donald Trump responded to the criticism at a campaign rally in Kiawah Island, S.C., warning Pope Francis about the Islamic State, who he said: “their primary goal is to get to the Vatican.”
“If and when the Vatican is attacked,” he said, “the pope would only wish and have prayed that Donald Trump would have been elected President.”
President Trump had earlier in his speech, said, “I like the pope.”
Before the Catholic pontiff arrived at the Mexican border, President Trump had frowned on the visit, describing Francis as a politician and accused him of acting at the Mexican government’s behest.
President Trump, a Presbyterian, has been trying to make inroads among evangelical voters as he seeks reelection come November.
“I think that the pope is a very political person,” he said.
When asked about Trump’s comments, Francis laughed, saying, “Thank God he said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as ‘animal politicus.’
“So, at least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don’t know. I’ll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people.”
