A fixed and determined gaze, a crucifix around his neck, a miter on his head and a cassock on his body. The image, at first glance, seems realistic. But then the face of US President Donald Trump reveals the game: it is a photomontage .

Yet the photo, posted on the White House accounts a few days before the start of the Conclave (starting on May 7), went viral in a few hours, with thousands of reposts and comments.

The same image appeared on the tycoon's Truth profile, where he has recently joked several times that being the next Pope himself would be "his first choice".
