Trump and the pope don’t exactly have the friendliest history — when Pope Francis called Trump’s idea for a Mexican border wall un-Christian, Trump’s response was a very vindictive statement about “if and when” ISIL attacks the Vatican.
We all know that Christian ideal to forgive and forget, but we’re going to give the pope a pass for all the shade he threw at Trump during their meeting — the guy fully deserved it for that ISIL statement. First, the pope was subtle, giving Trump a book about protecting the environment in the face of climate change. Then, he went for a more obvious dig, asking the president if Melania Trump keeps him plump by feeding him treats. And finally, there’s this photo:

So, Trump and Pope Francis: not BFFs. Putting them in a room together may result in threats of terrorist violence against the holy city, but also one of the greatest diplomatic photo opportunities of all time. Worth it? We can’t decide.
