Yeah, yeah, I know it's a statue of a saint behind him. But when seen while scrolling down, just enough details are obscured that it looks like....

Trump is partially in front of/blocking the pope.

He couldn't be more reprehensible. The pope is a saint, in my opinion, just for agreeing to go through this torturous meeting.

As well as the pre-picture taking minutes. Pope didn't smile once. At all. Trump went into the pose/smile right away...Pope hardly even looked up to the cameras in front of them. Find the video if you can...body dynamics are telling.

Pope: Only five minutes and eight seconds have passed. God, it feels like ten years with this buffoon. I can't talk to him. I feel my IQ drop with every inane word he utters. Please clock faster, faster. God, please get him out of here.
Trump: He's pretty quiet. I'm certain it's because he's in awe of my massive electoral victory.

He doesn't look 1 bit happy or even comfortable in this picture. Hope he gave 45 a piece of his mind, not that it would do any good, but for the sake of the poor and minorities. who need a voice.

The picture of Twerp and the Pope, is sad! I am a Catholic and it is disturbing to see His Holiness endure the idiocy of Trump.
