Donald Trump revealed why he attended the funeral of Pope Francis. Ahead of his arrival to the Vatican on Friday, the US President was asked why he thought it was important for him to attend the historic service held in St Peter’s Square.
He told a Fox News journalist: “I just thought it was out of respect, I won the Catholic vote and I think that’s the first time that ever happened for a Republican and I won that by a lot.I have a great relationship to the Catholics, very simple.
“But I won the Catholic vote, I got 56% of the vote, I don’t know why we didn’t get more actually, I don’t know how they got any. But we did well with the Catholic vote and my relationship is very good and so I think it’s appropriate.”
