Donald Trump Met The Pope. It Didn’t Go Well.
Donald Trump is having a marvelous time in Europe, showing an American stereotype most Europeans have — that we’re not very smart, we’re egocentric, and we don’t know that Israel is in the Middle East (watch that here).
The Trumps ended up going to the Vatican to see the Pope in a meeting that was described by one attendee as “stiff.”
Melania and Ivanka wore long-sleeved black dresses and veils for the Pope. “Per Vatican protocol, women who have an audience with the pope are required to wear long sleeves, formal black clothing, and a veil to cover the head,” Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communications director, told CNN.
Other people described the Pope as being “stone-faced” because in the first few minutes he did not say anything to Donald, and refused to smile.
Just before he left, Trump was heard telling Pope Francis, “Thank you. I won’t forget what you said.”
