Lindsey Graham Cheers On Pope 'Trump MMXXVIII'
Sen. Lindsey Graham said he was excited to hear that President Trump is open to being considered to be the next Pope.
- 5 minutes
Pope. As pope.
I'd like to be pope.
That would be my number one choice.
I don't know. I have no preference.
I must say, we have a cardinal
that happens to be out of a place
[00:00:15]
called New York who's very good.
Now, of course, Trump was probably
joking about wanting to be pope,
and while we wouldn't put it past him,
Senator Lindsey Graham weighed in, urging
the Cardinals to put the con in conclave.
[00:00:33]
In response to that video. Thank you.
In response to that video
Graham posted on X, I was excited to hear
that President Trump is open to the idea
of being the next Pope.
This would truly be a dark horse
candidate, but I would ask the papal
conclave and Catholic faithful to keep
an open mind about this possibility.
[00:00:51]
The first Pope hyphen US president
combination has many upsides.
Watching for white smoke.
Graham too, in fairness,
may have been joking, but that didn't stop
people from taking shots at him
for his typical Trump bootlegging.
[00:01:07]
DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta said,
can we send a rescue party?
I've never seen a person
so far up someone's ass.
Another person on X posted
I legitimately do not understand.
Short of some kind of humiliation kink,
[00:01:26]
how you could possibly type those words?
Do you not have an ounce of pride?
Brett? Is Lindsey Graham joking?
And what do you want to see
Pope slash President Trump do
[00:01:41]
during his first 100 days in the Vatican?
Oh my God.
Well, I would say that Trump,
in his first 100 days at the Vatican,
should, root out sex traffickers.
But then again,
he did just import some from Romania.
[00:01:58]
I'm glad I can't remember that guy's name.
What's his name?
- The fighter guy.
- Andrew Tate, Andrew Tate.
Speaking of Tate,
Lindsey Graham writing Trump's,
they neither of you could be Pope.
You Baptists, you nondenominational.
Nondenominational Christian.
[00:02:17]
You're not in that cut of the Venn diagram
where you get to be one
because you have to be Catholic.
There are rules, Donald.
There are rules. You got to be.
You got to support cattle.
Trump himself used to be Presbyterian.
Now he's nondenominational Christian.
[00:02:33]
According to the the quick Wikipedia
search I did on on South Carolinian.
Lindsey Graham, he is, Baptist,
but I don't think anyone serious here.
[00:02:48]
But like, the default setting of Trump is
like, why not say that you want to do it?
And if they give it to you,
then you were serious.
And if they don't give it to you,
then you were joking.
But I think the one thing
whether Lindsey Graham was kidding or not,
[00:03:04]
and I do think he's kidding,
the one truth is, he's not funny.
And that is sad.
He's like, right on, buddy.
Right on, bucko.
And the only thing that's true
about this story is that Lindsey Graham
absolutely has a humiliation kink.
[00:03:20]
Are you kidding me?
What do you think?
If it was like most other Republicans,
it would be clear and obvious
that it's just a joke.
And while I do think that this was
a joke from Lindsey Graham,
[00:03:35]
it fits so perfectly with how he responds
to anything else that Trump does.
It does raise like a flag.
Like he's I'm not 100% sure, only because
it's him and it's so typical of how.
[00:03:51]
Stop stop stop.
John does this to stop. That's a joke.
Stop.
It's a joke,
but everything else holds true.
Like we sound weird when we're like.
Trump put his hat in the ring
to be pope of the United Catholics.
[00:04:08]
He did not do that. Lindsey Graham.
Oh, is he kidding? I don't know.
The answer is very simply,
he was absolutely kidding.
But you're right to point.
I agree with you to point out that,
like, he's always like dominant strategy
in this thing, to be like, am I?
[00:04:24]
I could say I'm definitely kidding.
But I know this also makes Donald
feel good, and maybe he'll rub my belly
a little bit and he won't hate me.
After I said that, all the horrible stuff
I said about him, that he has not
earned the right to have me go back on my
promise, on my calling Trump like an
[00:04:42]
evil villain or whatever he called him.
The only reason that Lindsey Graham
has said anything nice about Trump,
literally ever, is because Lindsey got
cucked into submission, so to speak.
Yeah.
Well, despite all the bootlicking,
despite all the ass kissing,
[00:05:00]
Lindsey Graham seemingly has never
gotten anything in return from Trump.
Which really feeds into
the humiliation kink accusation.
Just for what? What is this all for?
He doesn't love you.
He doesn't love you back, man.
It's just I.
I'll never understand it, right?
[00:05:16]
But if he hates you,
then your life's hell.
That's the answer.
- I guess.
- And he's not going to do right.
He's not going to do
anything good for you.
But he can be like, we need a new senator
in this great state of South Carolina.
[00:05:33]
One with a wife
or some weird crap like that.
- You know.
- Further.
I mean, Trump would
say something like that.
- Sure.
- Obviously.
Never mind. Continue.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
[00:05:49]
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
