And the costumes were unbelievable.
The clothing that the cardinals wore and that the guards wore, and there were monks there in beautiful robes and nuns there.

And so that was against him to sit down.
I mean, I've only seen one president in my life.
I was at the White House and I saw Barack Obama.
I was just invited to talk with some speechwriters, right?

He was a force, right?
So it was just interesting to me.
