Pope 'terrific', Saudi 'spectacular': Trump waxes lyrical on foreign tour
Donald Trump thinks Pope Francis is "terrific" and found his "spectacular" royal welcome in Saudi Arabia "beyond anything anyone's ever seen".
Regaling EU officials in Brussels with his impressions so far of his first foreign tour, the U.S. president was in hyperbolic form on his seventh day of travels, which are partly aimed at reassuring allies that Washington is still a reliable partner under the former real estate developer and reality TV star.
Asked by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as they began talks in front of a battery of cameras if he was tired, Trump, 70, said he had "covered a lot of countries, lot of leaders, some great leaders".
Prompted by European Council President Donald Tusk, who called images of the Saudi visit "spectacular", Trump replied: "It was very spectacular. I don't think there was ever anything like that. I think that was beyond anything anyone's ever seen."

He might have liked that. They like doing such things, especially women.
