Pope Francis on Wednesday gave President Trump a copy of his 2015 encyclical letter on the environment and climate change.

Trump responded to the gifts by saying: "Well, I'll be reading them," according to pool reports.

The Trump administration has been pushing to roll back Obama-era regulations on the environment.

Trump on Wednesday met with Pope Francis at the Vatican.

At the beginning of the meeting, the president said it was a "great honor" to be meeting with the pope.

The meeting lasted about 30 minutes. Trump said after its conclusion that it was a "fantastic meeting."

Trump in March signed an executive order to start unraveling former President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan. The plan would have closed hundreds of coal-fired power plants, frozen construction on new plants and replaced them with solar and wind farms.

Trump has also proposed large cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Still upset with Trump for fully funding NASA’s “climate science” division, even if he shuffled the deck chairs a little.

[billorites]

This pope’s a putz.

News I’d like to see:

Trump gives pope Encyclicals: Divini Redemptoris and Humanae Vitae.

[Vision Thing]

Trump needs to smear the pope in the same way he dissed al gore over their religion of climatology.

[Ancient Man]

This Pope’s a communist.

Is there some book on the history of early evil, corrupt popes? Trump out to give Francis that in return.

Pope Francis on Wednesday gave President Trump a copy of his 2015 encyclical letter on the environment and climate change...

[CriticalJ]

Trump should have given him a book.

Trump ought to instruct pope to put it where the sun don't cause no climate change.

‘Trump responded to the gifts by saying: “Well, I’ll be reading them,” according to pool reports.’

A simple, ‘Thank you,’ would have more than sufficed.

[GnuThere]

“Thank you for the readings, I will be recycling them ASAP.”

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Catholic conservatives must be howling.

[WilliamCooper1]

You’d figure the Pope would give him a Christian-based gift. But, the old saying: is the Pope Catholic? Not so apparent now.

[Vision Thing]

So true. The current pope is corrupt.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Or the 95 Theses.

[ConservativeMind]

I would give this pope a book on:

1. Issues with priests buggering in the Catholic church
2. Sexual abuse of Catholic church parishioners
3. The evils of Communism

[Reno89519]

What a joke. The pope, and as Catholic maybe I should say, my pope, should focus on healing souls and leave climate change to the rest of the folks. And as pope, how about teaching and practicing Catholic faith? Personally, I’ll be very happy when he retires or is ousted and replaced. Got to be one of the worst popes ever.

[Reno89519]

Yes, climate science division, should be given new marching orders, else fired. Too many things are getting funded that should have stopped with Trump.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Trump should have given the Pope a Koran. (same difference!)
