The New York Daily News has continued it’s relentless attack on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump with a front cover declaring the billionaire candidate to be the Anti-Christ.

Depicting Trump with red scaly skin and flames flickering all around him, as if he is Satan, the newspaper took the Pope’s comments about Trump and made it seem as if the Pontiff was declaring Trump to be an evil false messiah.
The Daily News only stopped short of adding horns to Trump’s image.
What the Pope actually said was that it is not very Christian to build walls rather than bridges – which is hardly a declaration that Trump is the devil.
Trump responded to the Pope by re-tweeting several images of the Vatican’s heavily fortified walls:
.@FoxNews – Pope who lives in a Vatican city fortified with huge walls thinks it's wrong to build walls? Really? pic.twitter.com/DkxP2TMSiK

Trump also penned a statement saying that “for a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful.”
The Daily News previously depicted Trump as a clown, and branded his supporters as “mindless zombies”.

Trump hit back at the newspaper in typical style:
Dopey Mort Zuckerman, owner of the worthless @NYDailyNews, has a major inferiority complex. Paper will close soon!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 10, 2016
Worthless @NYDailyNews, which dopey Mort Zuckerman, is desperately trying to sell, has no buyer! Liabilities are massive!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 10, 2016
Trump’s “mindless” supporters did not take too kindly to the latest attack by the Daily News:
@NYDailyNews Are you endorsing Trump soon since you can't seem to sell a paper without discussing him.

@NYDailyNews @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump Shameful use of media. From this Christian: Fuck the media!
