Donald Trump Faces Criticism for Gesture at Pope Francis’ Funeral
Rome recently became the center of global attention as leaders from around the world gathered to bid farewell to Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff who left a significant mark on the Catholic Church. Among those present were former U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania.
Before the funeral, Trump sparked criticism with his remarks, calling Pope Francis “a tremendous kind of a guy,” a comment many found shallow. He also suggested the funeral would be a good time to discuss trade, which many saw as inappropriate.
At the ceremony, Trump and Melania paused to pay their respects, but Trump drew attention for wearing a blue suit while nearly everyone else wore black. His outfit choice led to widespread criticism on social media, with many accusing him of trying to stand out and showing a lack of respect for the occasion.
