He offered greetings of peace to everyone everywhere and stressed that he wishes to be a builder of peace in his ministry and to that we can all be part of that in our own efforts in what we do.
And two or three times mentioning the word missionary, I think probably also echoing his own experience as a missionary bishop and now the Pope.
I found also that very touching in this openness to the world.
And he's someone who is coming from the outside.
He has been in the Korean and now he has both worlds.
And this is very interesting and quite assuring.
I think for the church.
President Trump briefly spoke to reporters at the White House where he said it was a great honor to have the newly elected pope be from the United States.
We'll have somebody great.
I really thought he was terrific, but we are doing so many different things right now that we couldn't be really focused on.
He's a wonderful guy.
He's going to have a great future.
May be with us.
Post it on social media.
Dressed as the poor.
What's next?
Mr. President.
I would like to be the Pope in the future.
Mr. President.
Mr. President.
What is that for the title?
They have already spoken to us and we'll see what happens.

But again, to have the vote from the United States of America, that's a great honor.
That's a great honor.

Mr. President, I was going to welcome the people watching and they said he's from America.
I said, that's great.
donald j trump
I don't think so, but we're having very good conversations.
Very, very good.

I haven't heard about it.
No, I haven't heard of it.
But you didn't decimate that.
I mean, I haven't heard.
Actually, I hope not.
Thank you.

Okay, we're ready.
We have the Prime Minister on the phone, and we have a nice hookup.
This looks like the kind of a hookup that's not going to be causing any problems.
And your voice comes through beautifully here.
So I just want to begin by saying that this is a very special day because it's Victory Day, World War II, May 8th.
