TRUMP: ISIS HAS DESIGNS ON THE VATICAN
Trump: “You Know That ISIS Wants To Go In And Take Over The Vatican? You
Have Heard That. You Know, That’s A Dream Of Theirs, To Go Into Italy.” “The
comment came when CNN’s Chris Cuomo presented Trump with a hypothetical situation
during an interview Wednesday. What if, Cuomo said, Trump met the pope, and —
through a translator — the pope expressed a belief that capitalism can be ‘a real avenue
to greed, it can be really toxic and corrupt.’ How would Trump respond, Cuomo asked. ‘I’d
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. You know, that’s a dream of theirs, to go into Italy.’ ‘He
talks to you about capitalism, you scare the pope?’ Cuomo asked. ‘I’m gonna have to
scare the Pope because it’s the only thing,’ Trump said. ‘The Pope, I hope, can only be
scared by God. But the truth is — you know, if you look at what’s going on — they better
hope that capitalism works, because it’s the only thing we have right now. And it’s a
great thing when it works properly.’” [Washington Post, 8/20/15
