It was meant to be like that so people can spot and avoid the registered sex offender.
Is it just me or does Melania look old now….
I wasn’t able to read the article.

Here comes 300% tariffs on the vatican.
Paywall
Well it would be really great if Trump was there to actually pay his respect to the Pope, but anyone with more brain cells than an amoeba knows he’s there for the photo-op.
Trump Gets Called Out in Front of Millions at Pope’s Funeral
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re used the homily to criticize the president, who was seated in the front row to hear it.
The posthumous criticism came after Trump was mobbed by a group of world leaders, including France’s President Emmanuel Macron, Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of Pope Francis’s funeral.
The pressure from European leaders appeared to pay off after Trump sat down briefly with Zelensky before the funeral, and then the White House announced that he would meet with him again afterwards.

However, it was Trump’s signature first-term policy of building a border wall that appeared to draw papal ire in the funeral eulogy. The policy was much criticized by Francis during his lifetime, and Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who delivered the homily, ensured that the late Pope’s hostility to the policy was not forgotten.
Re said: “Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice, imploring peace and calling for reason and honest negotiation to find possible solutions … ‘Build bridges, not walls,’ was an exhortation he repeated many times.”

Trump and Francis had clashed repeatedly over the years, beginning in early 2016, when Francis criticized Trump’s plan to build a border wall, saying that anyone who thought only of building walls and not bridges “is not Christian.”
Trump responded angrily, calling it “disgraceful” for a religious leader to question his faith and accusing Mexico of manipulating the Pope. The bitter and very public exchange saw Trump label Francis as “a very political person.”
The homily may only have been an implicit rebuke, but after such a public clash over building walls, there can be no mistake that it was a deliberate and pointed one from the Vatican in front of millions watching around the world.

Trump and the Pope had a cordial meeting in 2017 despite the public barbs that had been thrown, but tensions simmered beneath the surface. Francis continued to speak out against Trump’s policies, condemning his withdrawal from climate agreements and his rhetoric on immigration. Trump and his supporters, in turn, painted Francis as a political operator meddling beyond his spiritual role.
On Trump’s return to office, their feud exploded back into public view after Francis denounced Trump’s plans for mass deportations as “a disgrace,” accusing him of punishing the vulnerable.
Trump’s allies hit back, mocking the Pope’s criticisms by pointing to the high, secure walls around Vatican City.
Trump’s decision to travel to Europe, thrusting himself into the heart of the continent’s biggest diplomatic jamboree, exposed him to intense lobbying from European leaders who violently disagree with what they see as his appeasement of Russia.
Nonetheless, his meeting with Zelensky raised hopes that a breakthrough in a peace deal on the Russia-Ukraine war could be imminent a day after Trump said Russia and Ukraine were “very close to a deal” on ending the war.
Zelensky’s office posted photographs of the two men sitting on a pair of chairs in St. Peter’s Basilica.
“We discussed a lot one-on-one. Hoping for results on everything we covered,” Zelensky tweeted. “Protecting the lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has the potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results.”
Hope surged further after the White House said the two men are due to meet again before Trump departs
I just lost a lot of respect for the Vatican. Caving to Trump’s ego? If they won’t stand up for their own protocols and kow tow to a man who is so undeserving of respect then what will they stand up for?
Part of me is they said „fuck it, let him sit there so he doesn’t cause a damn scene“ but the other part of me is „please stop giving in to this fucking toddler!“
He’s going to run for pope now.
Fuck Trump.
He deserves to get called out.
Jokes on them. No one hates Catholics more than American Christians. The same ones who voted for DJT.
He’s an ignorant twat, he should be publicly shamed by other world leaders.
Those cardinals are going to find themselves in El Salvador pretty soon.
Why is he wearing a blue suit?
Black! You wear a black suit to a funeral!
This seems worse than wearing a tan suit.
Infinity + 1 tariff on the Holy See
what a fucking child and embarrassment to this country. and what’s going on with melania’s face?
The fucker whined his way into a front row seat, and still had the gall to wear *blue* to a funeral.
It’s insane to me that he was even there. The church has the power to tell him that he is not welcome. It’s a shame on them that they didn’t use it.
So the “calling out” was literally just this
> Re said: “Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice, imploring peace and calling for reason and honest negotiation to find possible solutions … ‘Build bridges, not walls,’ was an exhortation he repeated many times.”
And put on a black suit you imbecile. What a fuck head
Guess we’ll see Catholics on Trump’s vendetta list. Given a lot of Evangelicals don’t consider Catholics real Christians, it was probably just a matter of time.
“Question his faith”?!? Trump is NOT a man of faith.
… and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the New New Anglican Church was formed.
He’s just such an asshole wearing a blue suit to a High Catholic funeral. It’s flagrant “pick me” arrogance.
Henry VIII started his own religion. Maybe Bumblefuck the First can make it official and rebrand the MAGA cult as a new religion.
Why would the antichrist visit the Popes Funeral?
Was he checking if his agent really finished the job?
Sounds like a weak president to me.
Trump should fucking apologize to Zelensky, and for that matter all the other world leaders.
And I doubt that piece of shit was uncomfortable at all being called out. He has no morals, and therefore no guilt about any of his shitty behavior.
„Christians, get out and vote… I love you Christians. I’m not Christian… You gotta get out and vote.“ – Trump
A Truth Social rant against the Pope and Vatican would go over so well with his supporters.
The shade is gorgeous, thank you good prince.
Pretty sure one of Trump’s handlers had to tell him he was insulted. I doubt Trump has the intelligence or ego to recognize such a pointed (and fair) rebuke.
It’s odd that someone living in a walled city is calling out someone who builds a wall. Both fascism and the belief in superhero sky faeries controlling humankind are dense, ignorant and uneducated belief systems.
I’m kind of surprised he didn’t burst into flames when he entered Vatican City.
He shouldn’t even be there.
Check out the pic of Macron looking eye to eye with TFG. Macron is 5’10“.
Why is the antichrist at the popes funeral
Pshh Trump gets called out in front of the world on the daily and he couldn’t care less.
