EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP JEALOUS OF NEW POPE COVERAGE — “IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY TRADE DAY!”

Former president blindsided as Vatican steals his spotlight — fumes over UK trade deal being “buried by a bishop.”

Sources close to President Donald Trump tell #ShuterScoop the Commander-in-Chief is fuming that global headlines are all about the newly elected pope — not his “historic” trade deal with the UK.

“He thought he’d be on every front page shaking hands and making history,” a political insider reveals. “Instead, it’s all about white smoke and Vatican crowds. He’s livid.”

According to the source, Trump had timed the announcement of his trade pact with British officials to dominate today’s news cycle. “He kept saying, ‘This is bigger than Brexit.’” But hours after cameras started rolling — Habemus Papam happened.

Another aide said, Trump allegedly called the timing “suspicious.”

Insiders say the president believes the papal coverage is yet another example of what he calls the “rigged media spotlight.” “It’s always stolen from me,” he complained. “The Pope should have waited until tomorrow.”
