But the latest target for donald trump tonight is outside the typical political Chris Lawrence is in the newsroom working this story with details on trumps latest feud. All this stems from a question he was asked about Donald Trumps proposal to build a wall on the border and deport illegal immigrants. The pope responded and seemed to question trumps faith saying in part, quote, a person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be and not building bridges is not a christian. The pope did say he hadnt heard direct specifics of this particular plan and would give the benefit of the doubt. Quote, i only say that this man is not christian if he has said things like that. It didnt take trump long to respond. If and when the vatican is attacked by isis, which as everyone knows is isis ultimate trophy, i can promise you that the pope would have only wished and prayed that donald trump would have been president. For a religious leader to question a persons faiths disgraceful. Im proud to be a christian. Now, trump mentioned his faith.
