Washington, 4 gen – Yet another dig from Donald Trump to the Vatican and Bergoglio. Speaking yesterday at the White House after the meeting with Democratic congressmen, he declared that the border wall between the USA and Mexico cannot be considered "immoral" Why the Vatican also has high defensive walls 40 feet (circa 12 meters). “It is one of the highest walls in existence!”
“Only a wall would be able to stop the passage of illegal immigrants coming from Mexico”, he repeated this time too. The American president requested a fund of 5 billions of dollars to build the barrier he promised his voters in 2016, ma the Dems opposed it causing a crisis. "Immoral? Take for example all the nations that have border walls: they work one hundred percent.” he added. “It will never change. A wall is a wall. Last night we flew photo drones over people trying to cross the border: the only thing that stopped them was the wall“.
The fortifications of the Vatican, about twelve meters high, they were finished in 852 AD. on the orders of Pope Leo IV following a devastating sacking by the Ottomans. The relations between Bergoglio and Trump they have never been relaxed and both are no strangers to this type of back and forth: a similar debate was triggered during the electoral campaign of 2016 when Pope Francis said "it is not Christian to build walls instead of building bridges". One of Trump's aides responded on Twitter by posting a map of the Vatican and its fortifications and commenting "the Pope's comment is incredible - considering that the Vatican is surrounded at 100% by enormous walls”
The US president also pointed the finger at the security measures at the home Barack Obama a Washington, using them as justification for the border wall, tweeting “Barack and Michelle Obama built a three meter high wall around their home. I agree, it is totally necessary for their safety. The United States needs the same thing, in a slightly larger version!”
