Technically the only 100% necessary qualifications to be pope are:
Be a man
Be (specifically) Catholic

I’m pretty sure Trump is some flavor of Baptist, which does in theory prevent his rise to the papacy, unless he specifically converts from whatever flavor of Baptist to Catholicism. But that risks alienating the evangelical protestants that fucking hate Catholics and think the papacy is the satanic antichist.
