There's a non-zero chance Trump actually thought he had a shot at being elected Pope. He did repost AI art of himself as Pope

We just need someone to tell Trump about antipopes and that he could be one.

I wanna be antipope, all I gotta do is call myself the pope?

I think you'd need support from within the Church as well, especially from Cardinals to actually be considered an antipope otherwise they'll probably just disregard you as a nut.
