Looks like it was somewhat positive. Maybe Francis has his mind on the victims of Manchester…he IS a very Holy Man.
 
Trump looks over joyed to be in the presence of Pope Francis. I never saw him smile so much. Maybe he’s feeling the Holy Spirit!

Not being American, slamming Trump is not up there as a thing to do, for me. And you might even read back through some of my posting history to find the opposite.

And yes, the photos and reports are of Pope Francis looking quite stern until gift giving , and chatting with Mrs Trump.

You gotta wonder what’s going through Pope’s mind , given the 2016 exchanges.

I had to chuckle at the choice of gifts between the two…very carefully chosen gifts to bring home a few points.

At least Trump didn’t try his infamous handshake on Pope Francis. See the photo in the link

It was nice Mrs Trump got a Rosary Blessed.

There you go. Media reporting the Pope’s stern face through the meeting

Pope Francis seemed to have a warmer relationship with President Obama.
 
Here’s hoping Pope Francis will inculcate some more genuinely Christian values into Trump.

Or being a Reality TV actor and used to the cameras, maybe he was acting for his photo op to please Catholics especially those on CAF.

Pope Francis seemed a little stiff with Trump, but seemed smitten with Melania. The
Pope asked her if she made a special Slovakian food for Trump. I think Trump wanted
the Pope to like him.

I think we will see more and more of Melania’s personality as she becomes comfortable with the spotlight. A very interesting, intelligent well educated woman.

Trump looks a bit unfit. The trip must be quite taxing.

I wish we had a chance to get to know Melania better. She is a beautiful woman and
smart. I am not sure if she is afraid of the media or hurt by them. I feel sorry for
her. I would like to know more about her life in her native country.

Trump wants everyone to like him. He needs the attention and the glory.

The trip or his problems at home or a combination.

Is she from Slovakia or Slovenia? My geography of Eastern Europe is very poor!

Agreed. There could be a number of reasons he looked more serious at the beginning. As you say, they are smiling later, and that is important.
