Sure, sure - trust the admin and majority party that has plastered this misinformation on every government web site for the past several weeks:

Since Trump’s middle name is John, his tenure would no doubt be similar to other popes named John. For example, John VIII, John X, John XII, John XIV, … heck he’s even got the “assassination attempt” covered, similar to John Paul II
