As the two men allowed the cameras back into the room as their first in-person encounter wrapped on Tuesday, the mood appeared to have lightened. When the men exchanged gifts, the Pope smiled more broadly and easily.

“This is a gift for you. These are books from Martin Luther King. I think you will enjoy them,” Trump told Francis, as he presented him with a first-edition set of King’s writings, recalling the Pope’s address to Congress in 2015 in which he quoted King.

The Pope’s gift left no questions about its symbolism, presenting Trump with an olive tree medal crafted by a Roman artist that the Pope said symbolizes peace.

“We can use peace,” Trump said.

Whoever came up with the idea of the gift to the Pope did a nice job.

Of course, Pope Che..eh.not so much. As someone pointed out..about as bad as Obambi’s tape gift.

Trump should have presented the Pope with a framed photo of the wall around the Vatican.
