‘Pope looks like he’s being held against his will’: The internet goes nuts over Trump’s weird Vatican photos

President Donald Trump and some of his family members met Pope Francis — and social media users couldn’t help but notice the Holy Father didn’t look too happy about it.

Trump appeared grinning in photos with the Pope, whose dour expression never changed, and both first lady Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump wore black veils.

2. Pope: "You touched the orb, didn't you?"

[Achilleaze]

9. Bwaa ha ha!

[LisaM]

19. It reminds me of the stones in LOTR

You know who was on the other end, right? Sauron!

29. On Twitter - I PHOTOSHOPPED SARUMAN INTO TRUMP'S ORB PICTURE AND IT'S NOT EVEN WEIRD

[LisaM]

31. Yikes!

No, it's not. Fits right in.

[Zoonart]

28. Salami, Salami,...Baloney.

3. Brings the Munsters to mind, but they were more fun.

6. +1

Thanks for putting them together!

10. Ivanka has a condescending look on her face BUT Melania actually smiled

Maybe Melania was pretending it was someone's funeral

[Scarsdale]

21. YES!!

Maleria found the perfect funeral dress. Ivanka looks like she was freshly Botoxed for the occasion. Her face looks like a wax dummy at the wax museam.

7. Love the Steve Marmel comment

[Me.]

8. So How Come No Head Covering In Arabia

But veils and long sleeves here. I really detest that women have to 'cover up'.

[sarisataka]

11. "Adiuva me...

voca novem unum unum"

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. I think Comrade Fatass was trying to hold in a fart.

Or he just released a "Silent But Deadly" -- hard to tell with him.

[OldHippieChick]

13. For consistency, the ladies should have worn scarves in Saudi

Arabia. Then, this wouldn't look so awkward. They are neither Muslim nor Catholic. Why more deference to Catholicism? And, at that, why the need to wear black? Who on earth is advising them about protocol and culture? Obviously someone who knows nothing.

[underpants]

15. Actually you can find pictures of Laura Bush and Michelle wearing basically the same thing.

[sarge43]

17. Every woman, with one exception, making a formal visit wears a black dress

and head covering with veiling. Exception: Catholic queens, they can wear white.

[angrychair]

18. It's the first part that matters

No head cover in an Islamic nation but wearing one in a Christian one.

As an atheist I've got no skin in this game, that being said, there is very little difference in requirement for women to cover their heads in modesty in Christianity than in Islam, it's just that, as is true in a lot of religions, people pick and choose when and what they want to follow in their particular book. It's amusing and fascinating at the same time.

[OldHippieChick]

23. I have seen pictures of Michelle wearing blue and no

headscarf. Have not seen all pictures of she or Laura Bush. My main query is why deference to Catholics and not Islamists? Either respect all or disrespect all. Be consistent.

[underpants]

25. Explanation

This thread gives a good explanation. Only five women can wear white.

She wore blue when the Pope visited the US

[OldHippieChick]

26. Thanks. Appreciate the worrying about vatican protocol and

its exceptions. My question remains.

[underpants]

27. That I don't have an answer for

14. Il Papa, "I'm getting too old for this shit." n/t

16. Trump seeks Papal blessing: Impropermatur

[keithbvadu2]

22. Maybe the Trump admin would like Pat Robertson's 'blessing'.

"Well, it looks like Congress had better do something, and maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up," Robertson said.

20. Why are wife and daughter dressed in funeral attire?

weird.

[Madam45for2923]

24. The whole world finds Donald absurd & disgusting.

A moment with Donald is not a moment that makes you better for it.

[2naSalit]

30. Was this a funeral?

I mean, it makes sense if that kkklan was there to tell the pope that they were going to own the church's wealth or something.

What a slap to the Pope, though... cheato and his concubines.

[2naSalit]

32. I think that maybe...

Malaria was raised Catholic and now she's worried to be with cheato as it might be sinking in that she's really going to the religious hell after she's done with her hell she's created here in this world.

[TNLib]

33. Pope Francis usually has a joyful smile on his face. I've never seen him look so miserable.
