    I’m probably not the first to point this out, and it’s minor in comparison to everything else that administration is doing, but the wording is so insincere?

    His heart goes out to all the Christians who loved Pope Francis, but he’s not including himself in that or anyone else that wasn’t Christian but still cared about him? A thoughts and prayers tweet would’ve been less awkward.

      Yeah, super awkward. If you were being specific to his followers, you’d say Catholics. If you’re being generic, you’d say his admirers or whatever. “Christians” is such a weird middle ground that includes some people who followed him religiously and some who didn’t but appreciated him anyway.

      Yeah, fuck that guy. That’s his underhanded dog whistle way of saying he doesn’t give a fuck about anyway unless they’re christian.

      Though we know he doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but he hasn’t explicitly stated that publicly (yet).

      Yeah, I’m not one to catch these sorts of things and even I had to read that twice because the phrasing seemed weird

      He’s a fucking lizard man. He doesn’t know how to express human emotions so anything like this is just a poor imitation of what he thinks he’s supposed to do.
