During his visit to the United States, the Pope met with President Trump. Instead of just an hour as scheduled, the
meeting went on for two days. Finally, a weary President Trump emerged to face
the waiting news media. The President was smiling and announced the summit was
a resounding success. He said he and the Pope agreed on 80% of the matters they
discussed. Then Mr. Trump declared he was going home to the White House to be
with his family.
A few minutes later the Pope came out to
make his statement. He looked tired, discouraged and was practically in tears. Sadly,
he announced his meeting with the President was a failure. Incredulous, one
reporter asked, "But your Holiness, President Trump just announced the
summit was a great success and the two of you agreed on 80% of the items
discussed".
Exasperated, the Pope answered,
"Yes, but we were talking about the Ten Commandments."
