All-too-real Donald Trump comebacks to Pope Francis, according to Twitter

Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump got into an unlikely war of words with Pope Francis on Thursday after the head of the Catholic church called the business mogul's Christianity into question over his plans to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. Trump fired back lightning fast with a typically sardonic response, calling the pope "disgraceful."

But the war of words also birthed a hilarious re-imagining of how Trump might direct his political vitriol, typically reserved for his presidential opponents, against the pontiff.

Twitter users were fast to share their ideas on how Trump could #MakeTheVaticanGreatAgain, imagining the attacks the presidential hopeful would launch against the Pope.

But one Trump staffer pointed out that the Pope and Trump may be living a more similar reality than they realize.

The #MakeTheVaticanGreatAgain commentary bears a scary resemblance to Trump's own words. Trump issued a statement, which he also read aloud during a campaign event, slamming the pontiff, calling him "disgraceful" for questioning a person's faith.

"If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened," Trump said. "ISIS would have been eradicated unlike what is happening now with our all talk, no action politicians."

Pope Francis' criticism of Trump comes on the heels of a visit the pontiff made to Mexico that focused on the migration crisis at the U.S. border. Trump has made reinforcing the border a central part of his presidential campaign and has said he plans to deport all 11 million people living in the U.S. without appropriate visas.
