President Donald Trump joked on Tuesday that he'd like to be the next pope, while answering questions from the media before heading to Michigan for a rally to mark his 100th day in office. The president also said there is a cardinal from New York that is "very good" as a potential pick.

After a reporter asked Trump who he thought should follow Pope Francis as the next pope, the non-Catholic president offered a response that was entirely in character. “I’d like to be pope,” Trump joked.

President Donald Trump was criticized for wearing a blue suit and tie to Pope Francis’ funeral on April 26. However, a Vatican source tells PEOPLE that he did not break protocol.

The world learned Melania Trump was Catholic when she brought rosary beads for Pope Francis to bless in 2017. Now, she's headed back to the Vatican.
