        Seems like something our current president would do.

        The Pope was thinking, "#notmyPresident, where's JFK's bust?"

        Poor Pope Montini, you can sense how appalled he must have been — a shy, meek, unassuming intellectual... possibly the least LBJ-like temperament of that era

        Wish the photo showed the Pope's face. Can only imagine what was going through Pius' pious mind (sorry, liked the alliteration & wordplay so even if it's not Pius XII, decided to do it) . Such a narcissistic and condescending gift.

        Pope Paul VI is thinking, “They don’t pay me enough to put up with this crap.”

        I think I read that when they had trouble opening the box, LBJ pulled out his pocket knife...is that true?

        Surprised Trump isn't giving those out of himself. Don't give him ideas.

        Was that a typical gift for a head of state? I think anyone I know would laugh at me if I gave them a bust of myself for Christmas Lol🎄

        We still have a year and a half left before 4ty 5 is lawfully removed from office by Congress. He may yet top that.

        True. But he probably won't meet the Pope again.
