Pope says Donald Trump cannot claim to be a Christian

Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump cannot claim to be a Christian, Pope Francis says, after the billionaire vowed to build a border wall to keep out immigrants.

“Anyone, whoever he is, who only wants to build walls and not bridges is not a Christian,” the pontiff tells journalists during his return journey from a trip to Mexico in response to a question about Trump’s anti-immigrant stance.
