I am sure the recent pictures of the Pope with Trump have popped up on this site. You know the ones where he looks like he would rather be dead than next to Trump. Well it just so turns out that wasn't the only President he was pictured with where he made that glare.

Yeah, pictures can really be taken out of context.

But I do admit, this one has a really odd feel about it:

You should ask the prime minister of Montenegro how it feels to stand near Trump.



Trump is truly a world class leader.

Yeah, exactly.

And not to make light of the suffering in the lower iconic picture, but check-out the look on the face of Melania vs Jackie:

Well, they say you should dress for the job you want. Clearly she wants to be a widow.

Not even his own wife, who slapped him away too in Saudi Arabia and for whom the taxpayers are footing the bill so she doesn't even have to be within the same State let alone the same bed. They should just divorce. Trump should leave diplomacy to the diplomats instead of creating awkward moments with his wandering groping tiny hands.

I saw this picture, too. Good share. It's important for us to be aware of how these kinds of things can be used to mislead us. We should limit the extent that we are influenced by a single snapshot.

Breathe deep, relax. Life has more important issues than this. I truly recommend digging fossils!

No need to relax. I enjoy watching the The Great Negotiator bungle his way through every engagement on the global stage. Getting slapped by the Pope..thats a new low even for a Republican.

That is eerily similar ...

Yes, eerily.

Even the body language, hands at the sides, etc.

I still cringe every time I see that picture of Kennedy's bride, and try to imagine where is she finding the strength to play her role as the First Lady?

Argh! And she saw it all!
