The New York Daily News Just Slammed Donald Trump

February 19th 2016

The New York Daily News took yet another hit at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday after Pope Francis described his immigration policy as decidedly un-Christian. The cover of the paper features Trump surrounded by flames beside text that reads "ANTICHRIST!"

"Pope calls out hateful Trump," the headline reads, followed by a quote from Pope Francis that made headlines on Thursday: "A person who thinks only about building walls again and again — and not making bridges — is not a Christian," the pope said.

Trump dismissed the papal condemnation in a press release on Thursday in which he emphasized that building a giant wall along the U.S.-Mexico border — one of his more controversial immigration proposals — would be an effective way to stop "the crime, the drug trafficking and the negative economic impact the current policies have on the United States."

"For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful," Trump said. "No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith."
