President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are in Rome, Italy as their third stop in their first international trip as POTUS and FLOTUS.
After an early morning meeting with Pope Francis,
On Wednesday, the pair was photographed in St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City:
The couple also visited the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, with one particular photo featuring Trump and Melania embracing as they looked upon Michelangelo’s controversial painting, “The Last Judgement.”
“The Last Judgement” features Jesus Christ in the moment preceding when the verdict of the Last Judgement is decided ― a moment in Catholicism where a soul is sent to heaven, purgatory, or hell.
Despite that, the embrace between the first couple is quite nice to see. Both Trump and Melania’s religious beliefs aren’t completely clear, but affiliations aside the moment they’re sharing in the photographs is poignant. And after several days of hand-holding fumbles, they appear to be taking in the Vatican’s history with grace and emotion.
