Behold, the Dalai Lama's impression of Donald Trump
When asked what he thought about the Republican presidential nominee during a Thursday interview for Good Morning Britain, His Holiness the Dalai Lama had this to say — or rather do:
The Dalai Lama admitted he has yet to meet Trump, but his impression of "the way his hair" is and his "small" mouth suggest he's kept a watchful eye on the controversial candidate.
Though he doesn't know what he thinks of Trump yet, the Dalai Lama said he'd be open to the idea of visiting the White House if Trump became president — assuming Trump extended the offer. "If he invite[d] me, then I would go," he said.
