[Video](https://www.facebook.com/NBCNews/videos/10155474670468689/) from NBC News Facebook page.

Have there been any reports of the very brief conversation at the end? It _looks_ like ‘Excuse me, we’re standing here, and you’re very rude.’ ‘F\_\_\_ you, bitch.’ Seriously, though: Is anyone good at lip-reading?

No although it looks to me like they are talking about something else altogether involving the guy to Trump’s right.

As someone commented to me earlier, you truly cannot spoof Trump. Trump’s actions in the video look like a character actor in a comedy melodrama doing an over the top impersonation of a ridiculously arrogant and vain dictator of a 3rd world country. Like something the Marx Brothers or Woody Allen would do.

Only it isn’t a comedy melodrama.

Trump is a selfish insecure child of a man, and I can’t believe that behavior like this didn’t get him beat up as a kid.

Daddy was rich, therefore he naturally attracted Crabbe and Goyle to watch his back for him.

Trump is an ass. He pointedly excluded Sean Spicer, a devout Roman Catholic, from his meeting with the Pope. Spicer is reportedly livid.

Good. I hope every bad thing in the world happens to Spicer. He’s an enabler of evil.

Trump is an ass, yes, but I am fine with Spicy getting left out. He deserves everything bad thing that happens to him.

Trump has proven all of his detractors wrong. He’s much worse than any of them thought.

He should make Spicer go up on the podium and declare that everyone got to meet the Pope that deserved to do so.

I just saw the clip on TV (as opposed to the computer). It kind of looked like he was saying, ‘No, you pushed _me!_’

Apparently the PM of Montenegro said it was no big deal (though some of the folks at home are angry). Of course there’s no way to see what the woman was saying, though the hand gesture looks like ‘Excuse me!’, but I’d really like to know what Trump said. He seemed to be dismissive, as if he was too busy to talk to anyone because he had to preen and pose for the cameras.

I Like what Trump said about the Pope, and I paraphrase: He’s really something!

Oy, he makes my head hurt. Has it been 4 years yet?

What gets me is he wasn’t even smart enough to pretend he was moving to the front to speak with someone there. Nope, just “Outta my way - I wanna be up front!!!”

What a national embarrassment that man is.

Hel-LO, people! Spicer-schmicer–let’s don’t lose the point in our desire to punish Spicey.

**This is a statement about TRUMP** , not about whether Spicer should/shouldn’t have been invited to an audience with the Pope.

Trump knows this is very important to Spicer and he deliberately excludes him. It doesn’t matter who was excluded or why or whether we think he deserved it. This to me is a little more than Trump just being an ass. (Shoving the ambassador shows he’s an ass.) It shows (yet again) what a cold, insensitive bastard Trump is WRT to something he could easily have done for a staff member (who has loyally taken grief on his behalf in every possible way) and that would have cost him nothing. It’s not like Spicey would have upstaged him. It was just pure meanness.

Focus.

That’s the part that’s really getting to me. It’s only been 4 months! I won’t extrapolate because that might make my head explode.
