Trump says he would ‘scare the pope’ with ISIS if he slams capitalism during US visit

…”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. That’s a dream of theirs.”

Cuomo asked if he would really try to scare the pope.

“I’m going to have to scare the pope,” 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.”

Trump, however, argued that capitalism has not been working properly in the U.S. — which the pontiff has also claimed, but for the exact opposite reasons.

“Between regulation, between all of the Dodd-Frank (Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), between all of the different things that have been imposed, we aren’t competitive like we used to be,” Trump said. “We have to open up our country to great capitalism.”
