Trump didn't let Sean Spicer meet the pope even though he really wanted to
The Trumps and some White House officials met with Pope Francis on Wednesday, but one figure was notably missing: Sean Spicer. And apparently, he's pretty upset about it.
A source close to the White House told CNN that Spicer not being brought along to the meeting was "a slight," and that to meet Papa Francesco was "all he wanted."

Granting the one thing Spicer wanted was, uhh, just not on Trump's mind we guess.
Though he did manage to bring along Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, in addition to Jared and Ivanka.

In a shocking turn of events, people really felt for Spicey! If the man wants to meet the pope, just let him!

Of course, it was pretty in character for Trump to block him in the first place.
@dave_brown24 SPICER: So will I get to meet the pope at least?
TRUMP: Is the Pope Catholic?
[narrator voice] it turned out Trump was actually asking— Linguica (@andrewrstine) May 24, 2017
Surely Spicey will have a second chance at a papal visit, right? Right, guys??
