Donald Trump ripped into Pope Francis as a "very political person" for visiting areas close to the United States' border of Mexico during an upcoming trip and for lacking an understanding of the U.S.' immigration situation.

“So I think that the pope is a very political person. I think that he doesn’t understand the problems our country has. I don’t think he understands the danger of the open border that we have with Mexico," Trump said in a telephone interview with Fox Business' "Varney & Company" on Thursday, adding, "Mexico got him to do it because Mexico wants to keep the border just the way it is because they’re making a fortune and we’re losing.”

The Republican presidential candidate was asked his opinion on a variety of world issues, including the pontiff's planned visit to Mexico starting Friday. During that trip, Pope Francis is expected to visit areas ravaged by the country's decade-long war with drug cartels.

I thought Mexico listens to Trump. He should just ask them to not bring the Pope there and then to pay for the wall.
