Prediction

Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again

Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn't like capitalism, and tariffs hurt the poor

Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake Pope, etc

Just watch.

Or to put it another way, overseas students now subsidise the cost of teaching each UK undergraduate by an average of £2,500 each. Take them away and you've got an absolutely existential crisis for universities.

I just watched live the Trump monologue (supposedly meeting Canadian PM Carney) in the Oval Office. I’m so embarrassed and I’m not American.
