text: As a head of state, diplomacy, respect for another and for the United States, all say that he will meet with President Trump. According to his principles, Francis will meet Trump. As our Pope he has a clear obligation as well to signal what he stands for, what we should stand for, illustrating intelligent Christianity in a fractured world of people and a fragile planet.
  One suggestion would be that he consult with Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau on how to anticipate and counter the Trump domination moves - no, not the "grabbing".
  It might also be worthwhile to gift Trump with something he cannot simply throw away; that would stay and stand: maybe a sustainable cutting from a Vatican garden tree for the White House garden.  Make it clear that it is a gift to the United States of America through its President?
