And I had money on the Trumpists trying to claim something along the lines of how it is a sign of the Catholic Church endorsing how great Trump is that they appointed a Yank. ‘No other American president has managed to get an American pope. It shows the love the Catholics all over the world have for me’

I think that's what makes his appointment doubly sweet revenge. Not just a Pope criticising the Trump regime, but a US one. Double whammy and a Hail & Hearty Mary (or whatever Catholics invoke).

Total what?

Total value of trade deals compared to the loss of trade with the EU following Brexit.

 

[briantrumpet]
