The Pope may have been trolling Trump by speaking in Spanish, but I do not think he speaks well in English. When the Pope gave his speech to Congress I would have perfered that he spoke Italian, or Spanish and let a translator speak English.

Francis made the right call. It also must have irritated Trump because he hates Hispanics.
