Ivanka's own goal: first daughter mistakes Lazio star Chinaglia for a saint: Trump was dining at Rome restaurant and asked ‘Which saint is that?’ when she spotted photo of Italian striker between crucifix and picture of Padre Pio: Stephanie Kirchgaessner in Rome, The Guardian, 25 May 2017
 
Ivanka Trump,  the former model and presidential adviser, mistook a picture of a revered Italian footballer for a saint during a recent night out in Rome.

The first daughter was dining with her husband, Jared Kushner, at Le Cave di Sant’Ignazio on Tuesday night when she spotted a picture of former Lazio star Giorgio Chinaglia – standing on a pitch, his arms stretched out to the heavens – and asked: “Which saint is that?”

The large photograph of Chinaglia was nestled between a crucifix and a picture of Padre Pio, a saint who is revered in Rome.

“We explained to her that it was not a saint but a great Lazio player,” Luigina Pantalone, one of the restaurant owners, told Ansa. The episode was confirmed by the Guardian.

“It was an honour to serve such a figure in our restaurant,” Pantalone added.

Any embarrassment did not last long. The couple’s party reportedly feasted on bruschette and cacio e pepe – a typical Roman pasta dish made with pecorino cheese – as well as ravioli, gnocchi and grilled shrimp.

Chinaglia died of a heart attack in 2012 at the age of 65. The Italian striker was loved not only in Italy but also in the US, where he played alongside Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer in the North American Soccer League.

Trump may have had God on her mind while in Rome. The next morning, she arrived at the Vatican for a meeting with Pope Francis.

    Great guy! GG? Hardly. His former CFO warned us in August '16 of what awaits: http://missoulian.com/news/opinion/columnists/former-rightnow-exec-supports-bullock/article_bdb5c3c8-c15e-518a-9902-189748dc8614.html. I'm not well today. That poor elephant. That poor elephant.

    At least they had the sense to rescind their endorsement, for all the good that did, and evidently it was too late, and not enough.

    It's not necessary to be able to read or even know English to MAGA, I expect.

    The Drumpfant In The Room has pushed Montenegro aside, bodyslammed decency and crushed the heart of the world.

    'Bruce McGee, a Republican alderman from Laurel, Montana, traveled two hours by bus to attend the party. McGee said he was “a little disappointed” about the assault, but that Gianforte still had his “undying support”.

    I don't know if it helps or hurts to know who makes up the support base. The rich Republican Undead.

    (Is there any other kind?)

    The audio from the victory party would have been pretty funny had one not been aware of what is being celebrated.

    The nudge-nudge wink-wink "apology" was easily the most comical moment. The joy-whoops of the well-moneyed base bespoke a general well-oiled appreciation of the shared joke. The joke was the wonderfully disingenuous "apology".

    "I'm sorry if my response to the overly aggressive liberal media was not to everyone's liking."

    Roars of laughter from the crowd, one boozy old broad calling out, "We love you anyway!"

    Altogether almost but not quite as much fun as a good little pointy stick of an air strike on a defenseless civilian target. Just so everybody remembers who's boss, y'all.
