Donald Trump speaks with radio host Laura Ingraham about his feud with the Pope. Trump says the media is hyping it up: "I think what happened with the Pope is the Mexican officials got to this guy, and told him about this guy in the United States called Donald Trump who wants to close up the border --and let people come in but they have to come in legally-- close up the border, and no mention of drugs or crime, and the Pope just got carried away."





LAURA INGRAHAM: As a Catholic, I gotta say, who's next? Who else are you going to single out for disagreeing on a presidential issue?



DONALD TRUMP: Well I think what happened is that the Pope was in Mexico, he met with Mexican leaders, Mexican leaders want the border to stay just the way it is, so they can send drugs, you know what they do is unbelievable, it is so sad.



Our executives, our people, they have no clue what is happening.



They have no clue. And between the crime, and even economic development is bad because of it because of the crime... If you remember when I announced I talked about illegal immigration, nobody talked about in a million years it was going to be this bad.



You had the killing of Kate and all these other problems. Nobody had any clue it was as bad as it turned out to be. I've gotten to know so many people whose children, husbands, wives, who were killed by illegal immigrants that come over, it is a real problem.



We have 179,000 illegal immigrants who are criminals now. Roaming around the U.S.



So I think what happened with the Pope is the Mexican officials got to this guy, and told him about this guy in the United States called Donald Trump who wants to close up the border --and let people come in but they have to come in legally-- close up the border, and no mention of drugs or crime, and the Pope just got carried away...



Actually the press built it up a little more than it was, he was talking about walls, you know, the man lives in a wall[ed city], builds walls, and then you look at the Vatican, there's a massive wall.



LAURA INGRAHAM: Surrounding all of Vatican City, last time I checked.



TRUMP: It's a massive wall. I brought it up, the press gave him a pass on that, but that is one big wall.



Do you know the number on trophy ISIS wants more than anything else is the Vatican?



They want to destroy the Vatican. I said in my little release, You should only hope Trump is president if something happens.
