Donald Trump slammed for showing ‘no respect’ with act at Pope Francis’ funeral

Part 1 of 2

Donald Trump somehow manages to steal the spotlight wherever he goes — even at Pope Francis’ funeral.

The 78-year-old has been heavily criticized online, with many accusing him of showing “no respect” because of what he wore to the pontiff’s final farewell today (26 April).

Leaders from around the world — including presidents, prime ministers, and cardinals — have gathered in Vatican City to honor Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday.

Prince William, Sir Keir Starmer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Irish President Michael D Higgins are among the big names attending.

An open-air funeral mass is currently taking place in St Peter’s Square for Pope Francis, who chose a more simple ceremony instead of the usual grand tradition.

The 88-year-old is being laid to rest in Rome’s Basilica of St. Mary Major, inside a plain wooden coffin lined with zinc, rather than the usual three stacked coffins made of cypress, lead, and elm.

Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania, were seen stopping for a moment as they passed by Pope Francis’ coffin to pay their respects.

Viewers could spot Donald Trump a mile off among the sea of black suits

As the couple took their place among rows of world leaders dressed in dark clothes, many people pointed out that the US President stood out like a sore thumb because of what he was wearing.

While everyone else seemed to be dressed in black, following Catholic tradition as a sign of respect, Trump showed up in a blue suit.

His choice of color caught attention for all the wrong reasons. Plenty of people watching the live coverage of Pope Francis’ funeral went on social media to call him out for having “no class.”
