Trump arrives in Rome
CBS News/Associated Press ^ | 5/23/2017 | Staff

President Trump just landed in Rome, the next destination on the president's four-nation, five-stop tour of the Middle East and Europe, after wrapping up a two-day visit to Israel.(snip)

President Trump meets with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Wednesday.

The White House said Mr. Trump will celebrate the Catholic religion, as well as the contributions of Catholics to the U.S., and the president said in his weekly address that he was looking forward to talking with the Pope about "how Christian teachings can help put the world on a path to justice, freedom, and peace." This language is a departure from what Mr. Trump and Francis had to say about each other during the presidential campaign last year.

Then, the pope obliquely criticized candidate Trump over the the southern border wall proposal that was a hallmark of his presidential campaign.

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges is not a Christian," the pope said in February 2016.

Mr. Trump responded, "The pope said something to the effect that maybe Donald Trump isn't Christian, okay? And he's questioning my faith, I was very surprised to see it," and he added, "For a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful."

Maybe he can convince Pope Francis to stop being a Globalist Puppet and to quit believing the fake man-made climate change theory the Bible has proven wrong millennia ago.

She does not like her hand to be held on steps.

In the other clip, where they said she swatted his hand away, she was going to be going in a different direction in a couple steps.

So is he patting her or not? His arms swing wildly, so I wouldn't bet on it.

She looks like she's going to burst out laughing????

They're both very tired.

I'm sure she skypes with Barron every day.

The press will shoot two hundred and fifty pictures, and pick the one that shows a Leftist in the best light, and the person on the Right in the worst light.

He just got through advocating for women across the Middle East in major ways, from inside Saudi Arabia.

None the less here, they try to show a photo depicting him as not respecting women. His hand may be six inches from her, and probably is. It’s an angled shot from a distance.

I would bet anyone here that it would be extremely hard to live constantly with a man who goes to bed at 10 or 11, wakes up several times in the night and will text stuff to others, and gets up at 3,4, or 5-at the latest.

The man wears the hell out of everyone around him. And to think we went from a useless piece of lazy crap as POTUS to a out and out workaholic who cant sit still at all is remarkable.

If pope a dope doesn’t praise Trump for his speeches in the Middle East he is a fraud and must resign.

My wife is a night hawk. And we have to sleep apart. I am an extremely light sleeper and any sound keeps me awake. So much so that I have a fan on at night to drown out the noise.

“Pope-a-Dope” is not only a fraud, he’s a non-Christian heretic. Typical Jesuit!
