Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again found himself at the center of controversy, this time during Pope Francis’ funeral in Vatican City. The ceremony, held on April 26, 2025, was meant to honor a beloved spiritual leader with simplicity and respect. Yet, Trump’s decision to wear a blue suit — while nearly everyone else wore black — drew swift criticism across social media and news outlets.
Many accused him of showing blatant disrespect at one of the most solemn events in recent history. Combined with his strained history with the Pope and a surprisingly distant seating placement, Trump’s appearance left the world buzzing — and questioning whether this was a simple misstep or something far more calculated.
