IN the NEWS - Trump given a Scapular?

....and I asked... Nehemiah 1:2
Trump given a What????

"Last week President Trump received a scapular and a lesson on Fatima from Edward Baza Calvo, governor of Guam since 2011.
"About 165,000 people have taken a big sigh of relief since ten months ago the leader of North Korea was making pronouncements of the nuclear annihilation of our island," says Gov. Calvo in the short clip below from PacificDailyNews.com. "And now we have, ten months later, a document paving the way--signed by both [Trump and Kim Jong-un]--to peace and denuclearization," 
A year ago, when this crisis was unfolding, the traveling Lady of Fatima had just come from Korea to Guam, and fifteen minutes after Trump signed the agreement with Kim Jong-un, the statue arrived at the house of Governor Calvo. Being Catholic, he said, "I don't believe in coincidences." 
In gratitiude to both Our Lady of Fatima and the U.S. President, Gov. Calvo handed Trump a scapular and told him that Catholics, such as Melania, would understand its significance."

"The scapular (from Latin, scapula, shoulder) forms a part, and now the most important part, of the habit of the monastic orders. The small scapulars consist essentially of two quadrilateral segments of woolen cloth (about two and three-quarter inches long by two inches wide), connected with each other by two strings or bands in such a manner that, when the bands rest on the shoulders, the front segment rests before the breast, while the other hangs down an equal distance at the back."
