This appointment is, at best, an exercise in tone-deafness on the part of the Trump administration. At worst, it's a deliberate insult. So what else is new?

But no matter. Francis will overlook it all and graciously welcome Ms. Gingrich because that's what gentlemen and Christian leaders do. 

Once again, Trump will be saved from himself by a head of state who, unlike him, isn't a jackass.
