Wasn't a snub, Trump's brigade probably didn't know Vatican City is actually in Rome. Photo op all aimed at Trump's evangelical vote, 'see, even the Pope loves him'.

"We can use peace," Trump says, after selling a king's ransom of arms to Saudi, of all places.

Looks like she is following the required dress codes for each country/occasion.
Saudi has different requirements for guests and locals.

I dunno, maybe Constantine.
And look what the Popes did with all that power. This picture is kinda funny. Is Trump still smiling over signing the Obama weapons deal? If so, Satan is like "FINALLY!, I'm back". No wonder the Pope looks so grim.

So Ivana shows respect to the pope and Christianity by wearing a veil, but didn't do the same in Saudi....go figure.

LOL. If Trump steps any closer to the Pontiff; Francis' crucifix is going to burst into flames!

A touch of the Addams family in that shot!

The Pope is a man of faith. He's asking Trump to be a peacemaker... Clearly he has more faith than I have.

Unless Trump's name appears in them, he probably won't read them.
You sure can. You've just done a major arms deal with the terror sponsoring Saudis and attempted to isolate the Iranians who are modernising.
You can use peace until the word has lost its meaning and worth.

katsu78 - amazing that you read so much into a photo. I think I just see a guy smiling awkwardly

Melania:
Great that you've covered your hair, but you've left Saudi Arabia already.

This shows the fundamental disconnect between the two men. For the Pope, peace is the end itself. For Trump, peace is a tool for enriching himself that is only desirable so long as using war doesn't enrich himself more.
Rule of Acquisition #35: Peace is good for business.
Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business.
For a certain kind of person, it's easy to get them confused.

Trump giggling to himself about his "peace maker" joke. While everyone else seems to be dressed waiting for the funeral.

Well, who else could you thank?

The Pope is the middle man, Trump is the instrument. Thank god christianity has flourished. What would the the world look like if the Turks ruled?

Why does the pope look terribly unhappy in this photo, and the Don looks awfully cheesy.
