The pope and Melania Trump pretty much just fat-shamed Donald
Donald Trump and his family/advisors met with Pope Francis at the Vatican Wednesday on a stop of the president's first foreign trip. While plenty of online jokes came from the meeting and photographs with a stone-faced pope, it sounds like the pope and first lady were in on the laughs.

A pool report from a gift exchange between the Trumps and Pope Francis (POTUS received three documents, including Pope Francis' 2015 climate change encyclical) included a sassy comment from the pope to the first lady.
The pope asked her, through a translator: "What do you give him to eat, potizza?" She responded with a chuckle that she did.
The initial report quoted the pope asking if she fed POTUS pizza (when in Rome...or at least nearby), but it was later amended. He'd asked about potizza, a Slovenian pastry from Melania's home country.
This exchange piles on to Melania's hand-swatting and refusal to hold Trump's hand during their trip. She is on a tear, shutting down Trump everywhere the pair goes.
For the latest papal incident, here's the online peanut gallery:
Pizza
Potizza
Postica
I don't know. I've seen all three. But the bottom line is, Pope Francis joked about Trump's weight. Mortifying. pic.twitter.com/CKogEXuOlo— April (@ReignOfApril) May 24, 2017

The art of the joke by @Pontifex.
Francis: "What do you give him to eat, Potizza?" (Potizza = Slovenian holiday pastry.)

And just like that, the pope and FLOTUS now have an inside joke.
