The Pope just body-shamed DT.

I know, I know, body-shaming is bad. But can we make an exception this one time?

Think of how hard it must have been for Pope Francis to be cooped up with DT, alone in a room with just a translator -- for a whole HALF HOUR!

ON EDIT: Despite what this article says, DT was never a Catholic -- the one with a Catholic past is Pence.

In a day of endlessly weird visuals from the Vatican, Donald, Melania, and Ivanka Trump came face-to-face with a taciturn, and shade-throwing, Pope.

Up until this point, First Lady Melania Trump had looked particularly uncomfortable, though she appeared to lighten up when the Pope noted her husband’s girth.

“What do you feed him? Potizza?” the pope asked Mrs. Trump, referring to a Slovenian dessert.

"Potizza? Yes,” she replied.

"Pizza!” Trump chimed in, a few beats late, assuming he was in on the joke.

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

(You don't understand, I ain't scared of you mutha fuckas) [kick it!]

(Stir it like coffee)
The Pope
(Stir it like muthafuckin' coffee)
The Pope
(The hell)
This is the Pope

Oh, your car got mags that be dippy dippy dope
But the whole damn nation got the same
Honey only flock to the bee that's the Pope
Not the President with government lame

Put me on a slow movin' parlimentary hackin' bandwagon
You could put me little ass in the grave
Every time you want it I'll be live, bring a date
I mean computer when its over press save

So, you can be the President (you can be the President) [kick it]
I'd rather be the Pope
(rather be the Pope)
(I'd rather be, so happy)
Yeah you can be the side effect (you can be the side effect)
I'd rather be the dope (rather be the dope)
(I ain't scared of you mutha fuckers) [kick it]

Thinking, whoo, that would have been something for the 10 O'Clock News.

"He's small, but he's scrappy- don't piss him off!"
