President Trump Meets Pope Francis: ‘I Won’t Forget What You Said’
breitbart.com ^ | 24 May 2017

In what can only be described as a cordial, successful meeting, Pope Francis received U.S. President Donald Trump in the Vatican Wednesday amidst smiles, handshakes and camera flashes.

The two leaders sat down for a half-hour face-to-face meeting, with the Pope leaning out over the table with his arms extended toward the President. On parting ways at the end of the meeting, the President thanked the Pope for his warm welcome, stating, “I won’t forget what you said.”

In its official press release, the Vatican described the meeting as “cordial” and said the two men spoke favorably of “the good existing bilateral relations between the Holy See and the United States of America,” as well as their joint commitment “in favor of life, religious liberty and freedom of conscience.”

This last statement was particularly significant.

While the Catholic Church was often at odds with the Obama administration over the issues of abortion and religious freedom, the Vatican wished to underscore a new common purpose with the United States under the Trump administration on these matters.

Melania has a covering on her head, it looks like. A scarf? Chapel veil? Interesting.

It would have been useful if during this exchange someone at a lower level chastise this leader of a major Christian denomination for his failure to condemn the theological assertions contained in the Sharia code used when followers of Islam claim they’re authorized to do so by Our Creator.

Some are calling it a mantilla..but it looks different to me. Still can't find what it is..so maybe just her fashion version. Barbara Bush wore this

Ok. Barbara Bush is wearing a chapel veil— classic doily shape. I’ll go with calling Melania’s headcovering a chapel veil. The reason it piqued my interest was the refusal to cover up in Saudi Arabia, in contrast with the willingness to cover her head to meet the Pope. I don’t have a problem with that, but it would be interesting to know what the Saudis think of it.

Most of us who met the pope could honestly say the exact same thing, as with any historical figure.

I think the slacks have a front zipper.

President Trump is very skilled at sweet talking and attentively listening to stuff he knows is b.s. He knows the Pope is a socialist nincompoop with tyrannical tendencies, so he will let the nonsense roll off his back like water on a duck.

I, too, will remember the jaw dropping stuff that’s fallen out of the false pope’s mouth.
