Donald Trump's message to Pope Francis? "ISIS wants to get you," he said when speaking to CNN, according to the Washington Post.
Trump was responding to a question about a hypothetical situation in which he was meeting the pope. When asked if the pope were to express anti-capitalism views to Trump, he said he'd threaten the pope with ISIS. "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 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," said Trump.
Trump is probably referring to an image released by ISIS showing their black flag above St. Peter's Square, where the Vatican is located, according to the Huffington Post. It's unclear exactly how capitalism will protect the pope from the threat of ISIS.
Trump, the current front-runner in the Republican primary election, also spoke candidly about Hillary Clinton."I think that Hillary's going to have a hard time being in the election based on what's going on with the emails, the servers, maybe even the speeches," he said, according to CNN.
