We have 20 questions about THAT Trump/Pope photo

Cathy Donohue

Once you see this photo, you just can’t unsee it.

The Trump family has embarked on a tour of Saudi Arabia, Israel and yesterday, they arrived at the Vatican for an audience with Pope Francis.

What can only be described as the most awkward photo EVER resulted from the meeting and we have multiple queries about what’s going on.

Probably the worst part is how sad the Pope looks in comparison to his previous encounter with Barack Obama.

However, there’s a lot more to be said about the image as you’ll see below from our list of burning questions.

  1. Is Melania holding in a fart?
  2. Why are they dressed like they’re going to a Victorian funeral?
  3. Why is there a space between the Pope and Trump, (maybe Trump made a fart?)
  4. Why does Melania look like she’s a character from The Handmaid’s Tale?
  5. Why does Melania look like she’s about to cry?
  6. Did Trump not get the memo about ‘not smiling’?
  7. Is the Pope missing Barack Obama as much as we are? (He looks so sad).
  8. Why does Ivanka’s neck look particularly long in this photo?
  9. Why is Trump wearing a bank manager’s tie?
  10. Why does the Pope look like he’s taking a photo with the cousins that he hates?
  11. Why does Trump’s hair look SO white in this particular shot?
  12. Where did they get their headpieces?
  13. Why is Ivanka’s husband, Jared, left out from all the photos?
  14. What is the Pope looking at to the right?
  15. What is Ivanka looking at? (She looks like she’s seen a ghost).
  16. What brand of nude lipstick is Melania wearing?
  17. Is this the first photo where Pope Francis isn’t smiling?
  18. Why is Trump pointing at his right foot?
  19. How many escape routes do you think Melania’s picked out in the room?
  20. Is this the most awkward photo taken with the Pope EVER?
