Anyone who grew up Catholic knows exactly what she’s wearing. At one time a woman couldn’t enter a Catholic church with her head uncovered, I had several when I was a girl. Today it’s not mandatory, but respectful, especially under these circumstances.

I remember those. They went out when I was about 15. I'm surprised anyone would wear them.

I am indeed aware of a mourning veil accoutrement. However I have not seen one that transponds an image of a tattoo onto the skin of the person wearing the viel. That is why I asked.

I wonder what Trump did tell him after he realized it was the president of the Dominican Republic because Abinader told him.
