Donald Trump faces flak (and some love) after flouting dress code
His fashion slip-up didn’t go unnoticed.
Trump critic Ron Filipkowski made a sarcastic comment on X (formerly Twitter), posting, “One guy shows up in a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral. You will never guess who.”
Political analyst Molly Ploofkins also chimed in, saying, “According to the dress code required by Vatican officials for Pope Francis’ funeral, men were required to wear a dark suit, along with a long black tie. Trump shows up in blue,” she wrote.

Other critics didn’t hold back either.
One person commented, “These norms are pretty much gone in the US, but for the Pope’s funeral, seems like you should adhere to protocol. A funeral calls for a black wool suit, white shirt, black tie, and black leather dress shoes.”
Another person said angrily, “Dress code – black suits. Trump has a blue suit. He didn’t have money to buy a black one??? The main thing is that everyone was looking at Zelensky’s suit in the White House.”

Not everyone was criticizing him, though. Trump got some support from political strategist Joey Mannarino, who said, “Trump at the Pope’s funeral is just exuding complete and total class. Absolutely the image America should be projecting to the world,” he wrote.
Mannarino also took a shot at Zelensky, saying, “Zelenskyy couldn’t even wear a suit for Pope Francis’s funeral. And the woke idiots in attendance clapped for him anyway. The lack of respect is unbelievable,” he added.
