I’m referencing this story:
“What do you give him to eat, potica?” the pope joked through a translator.
Melania, nodding her head, repeated “potica” as the two laughed.
The press refers to ‘potica’ as pastry.
“Let Them Eat Cake” moment/reference?
Nicely Played, Your Eminence!!! 
No. Possibly a fat joke. More likely just a mildly humorous reference to Melania’s Slovenian background.
That’s… stretching. He was putting her at ease with a funny joke that was also a reference to her upbringing.
The diss was when Francis gave Trump a copy of Laudato Si.
“So, why can’t we use nukes on Vatican City?”
“How many ICBMs does The Pope have?”
“It’s located in the middle of the capital city of one of our NATO allies, Mr President.”
“I know. Those guys aren’t paying up. That’s why I was asking.”
“So we’ll use a little one.”
This, definitely. After all the Pope (God bless 'im) isn’t exactly a hard body. It was a sweet, personal thing for the Pope to say to her. It shows that the Pope has class. Queen Elizabeth does stuff like this, too.
Now this, yeah, definitely. Of course, someone had to explain to Trump what an encyclical is, and translate the Latin name of the paper, and then reduce the content to 140 characters. Maybe when the Pope handed it to him, Trump thought it was a book of Slovenian recipes.
And from what I’ve read potica is a favorite of the Pope, as well.
“Does this nutroll make my butt look fat?”
Yes, dear. The Pope agrees.
“Also a billion Catholics will launch a holy war against you. Now please excuse I’m late foe Mass.”

“Perfect for your hands, Mister President.”
Nutroll is the shit – my grandmother made it all the time. Yummy!
I object to this misleading thread not having the word “tasty” in the title.
That looks like a really good cake. I don’t think I’ll be up to making it any time soon, though.
It has cinnamon in it? That sounds a little spicy for the Trumps. I wonder if they leave it out.
Yes. When even the Pope says you are too evil to run a country and will nuke the world it is time to resign.
Since the supposition that this was a “let them eat cake” allusion has been addressed, I’ll just add the nitpick that the Pontiff is addressed as “Your Holiness.”
“Your Eminence,” is used to address a non-Pope cardinal.
Other forms of address: “Your Beatitude,” in referring to one of the patriarchs; “Your Excellency,” to a non-Cardinal archbishop or bishop; and “Reverend Monsignor,” to a monsignor.

Where do the Dixie Chicks stand?
“his diet is decidedly simpler and much more American, favoring fast food and Diet Coke.” Farg. This means I have more in common with Trump than I thought. :mad:
Oh wait, I prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke. Whew, that was close.
In Wide Open Spaces…sorry, I had to do it;)
