While much of America was still sleeping, Pope Francis welcomed Donald Trump to the Vatican, then led his usual Wednesday general audience in St. Peter’s Square. Here’s some of what you missed.

But early in the meeting, a little misunderstanding:
#Pope to First Lady @flotus: “What do you give him [Trump] to eat?” Melania replied: “Pizza” #Pope #Vatican pic.twitter.com/vmC8dBhoqP

Later, this clarification:
#Vatican clarifies: @Pontifex asks Slovenian @FLOTUS about @POTUS diet: “Do you feed him ‘potica’?” a Slovenian cake. Sorry Italy, no pizza pic.twitter.com/hku6Fc0eUK

@margaretfelice #PopeFrancis, whose niece is married to a Slovenian, asked about potizza. Melania, not expecting that, asked “Pizza?” Downhill from there.

And the meeting goes on routinely from there.
