Trump Invites Special Guest to the White House

Imagine you're a regular guy from Florida, a U.S. Navy veteran.

You have a great wife and family, and you're a big supporter of President Donald Trump.

Then Pope Francis passes away and they need to pick a new pope. Your brother is a Cardinal, but he's an American, so there's no way they'll choose him. Historically, they always go in another direction, and there's never been a U.S.-born pope.

Then, lo and behold, what do you know? They do pick him. He appears on the balcony, and you're so proud, there's your little brother. You can't quite believe it, but then again, you can. He used to play priest as a child, and you used to tease him about being pope one day. Now, here you are, doing a boatload of interviews with media about him, the actual pope.

You're a bit stunned, you pack up to go to his inaugural Mass at the Vatican, knowing this is going to change some things and hoping that this doesn't interfere with the time you can spend with him.

You end up with the American delegation at the Mass, sitting next to Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, sitting in front of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his wife. Then, you're with the delegation when they meet with your brother. Vance gave some gifts to your brother, and a letter from President Donald Trump and the First Lady inviting him to the White House.

Then guess what happens when you return to the U.S.? After being with the U.S. delegation, you get an invite to the White House. Not only that, the president is happy you support him. He likes you and your brother, he wants to shake your hand, and give you a "big hug."

You even get to see the Lincoln Room in Congress and meet Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA).

You with your wife Deborah make it to the White House, even to the Oval Office. You meet President Trump and Vice President Vance.

Now that's an incredible couple of weeks for "MAGA-type" Florida man, Louis Prevost. How many people get to hug the pope and then hang out with the president shortly thereafter?

How cool is that? Only in America, kids.
