The video of the Pope blessing a new Rosary for Melania is on this page.
There was a hermit, Tom Zimmer, who prophesied that Donald Trump would one day be President and help lead the USA back to God. He said this in the 1980’s when Donald Trump was just a wealthy mogul.

Fascinating! Thanks for that link.
From your link....
She also prayed in the hospital chapel and read to a young Greek boy in need of a donor heart – holding his hand in the Intensive Care Unit while camera shutters snapped.
The almighty may have heard her.
‘Upon landing in Belgium, I learned a young boy and his family who had been waiting for a heart transplant was informed that the hospital has found a donor,’ she said in a statement.
‘I read a book and held hands with this special little one just a few hours ago, and now my own heart is filled with joy over this news.’
I replied to just one post, one which in point of fact is erroneous.
To be perfectly clear...the current Trumps were married by an Episcopal priest, in an Episcopal church.
As long as neither is a crazed practitioner of Islam, I don't care WHAT religion they practice. I voted and donated to this president, because of who he is and what the policies he espoused whilst running. And as long as he does his best, as president, to implement those policies, religious haranguing, arguing, out right fights, and FR internecine bloody battles.
That does come to mind.
Here's another possibility that could be added to that.
The Lord knew she would be there...and the Lord knew there would be a donor lined up, too -- all of that possibly before either of them were even born.
Admittedly, I'm broaching the general idea as a guess. Still, it is written that He is the author, and finisher of our faith.
bumpus ad summum
So a Protestant, a Catholic and two Jews walk into the White House...
True. That would make the marriage invalid. And no priest WILL marry them unless there are official decrees of nullity of Donald’s previous marriages. Melanie could not have received a dispensation from form for the same reason.
But it is possible the marriage could be regularized—depending on the facts about the previous marriages.
Worst case: Melania waits until Donald dies to start receiving Communion. The Helen Hayes stategy.
Several reasons.
If one of Donald’s previous marriages was valid.
Melania, being a Catholic, was not free to marry Donald without a decree of nullity for both of his previous marriages.
Melania was not able to contract a valid marriage in an Episcopal ceremony.
Never was Episcopalian.
One more miracle and she’ll be a saint. It will be a first to have a saint as First Lady.
Much more impressive than an unearned Nobel Prize.
“Accepting Christ” is not a sacrament. Baptism is. Trump was baptized Presbyterian as an infant or child.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
This Pope will never canonize a Republican.
Too bad you weren’t at the Council of Trent to cut through all the complexities.
Do you have a citation for that? Why was his pageant anti-Christian? Why did he use a gay activist to destroy a young lady for being Christian?
What is Trump, if you consider Maples s Bimbo? And why is she a bimbo, but not the other two wives? And why did he have a Muslim-style marriage to Maples?
