Donald Trump tones down fight with Pope Francis

Nobody wants to tangle with the Pope — not even Donald Trump. One of the more unlikely battles to ever jolt a presidential campaign emerged Thursday when Pope Francis said Trump is “not Christian” if he wants to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump, true to form, shot back that the pontiff’s comments were “disgraceful.”

But by Thursday evening, the GOP front-runner was doing something unusual: de-escalating a fight.

“I don’t like fighting with the Pope,” Trump said at a GOP town hall in South Carolina hosted by CNN. “I like his personality; I like what he represents.”

Trump called the Pope a “wonderful guy” and blamed the day’s drama on the press.

“I don’t think this is a fight,” Trump said. “I think he said something much softer than was originally reported by the media.”

Trump added he would meet with the Pope “anytime he wants.”
