Donald Trump somehow ends up being the centre of attention wherever he goes – even when it’s Pope Francis’ funeral.<\/p>\n

A host of people have slammed the 78-year-old online, claiming that he has shown ‘no respect’ with his choice of attire for the\u00a0pontiff’s final farewell<\/a>\u00a0today (26 April).<\/p>\n

Presidents, prime ministers and cardinals from around the world have gathered in Vatican City to pay their respects to\u00a0Pope Francis<\/a>, who\u00a0passed away on Easter Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prince William<\/a>, Sir\u00a0Keir Starmer<\/a>, Ukrainian president\u00a0Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Irish<\/a>\u00a0President Michael D Higgins are among those in attendance.<\/p>\n

An open-air funeral mass in St Peter\u2019s Square is underway for Pope Francis, who\u00a0went against tradition<\/a>\u00a0in favour of an understated funeral.<\/p>\n

The 88-year-old is being buried in Rome’s Basilica of St. Mary Major in a\u00a0plain wooden coffin<\/a>\u00a0lined with zinc, as opposed to three separate tapered hexagonal boxes made from cypress, lead and elm.<\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>\u00a0and his wife, First Lady Melania, were seen pausing as they passed Pope Francis’ coffin to pay their respects.<\/p>\n

But as the couple then joined the rows of other world leaders dressed in dark attire, people said the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0President stuck out like a sore thumb due to his clothing.<\/p>\n

Although every other mourner appeared to be sporting black in line with\u00a0Catholic<\/a>\u00a0customs, as it is seen as a sign of respect, Trump opted to wear a blue suit.<\/p>\n

His colour pallette has managed to attract attention for all the wrong reasons, as a host of people tuning into the live coverage of Pope Francis’ funeral have taken to\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0to accuse him of having ‘no class’.<\/p>\n

One person wrote in a post on\u00a0X<\/a>: “Any reason why Donald Trump is in a blue suit and not wearing traditional black for a funeral?”<\/p>\n

Another said: “I see that Trump\u2019s wearing a blue suit to the Pope\u2019s funeral so that he stands out. T**ser!”<\/p>\n

A third commented: “Watching the funeral on BBC News. Trump is in a blue suit when everyone else is in black. No class.”<\/p>\n

A fourth added: “Why is Trump wearing a blue suit while everyone else is in black? No respect.”<\/p>\n

While a fifth chimed in saying: “Looking to be noticed – Trump wears a blue suit while others around him confirm with traditional black.”<\/p>\n

The irony of Trump making previous\u00a0scathing comments<\/a>\u00a0about\u00a0Zelenskyy’s decision to shun formal attire<\/a>\u00a0for a meeting at the White House in February was not lost on people, either.<\/p>\n

“Zelenskyy should ask Trump why he\u2019s the only one wearing a blue suit to the Pope\u2019s funeral whilst everyone else (including Trump\u2019s wife) is wearing black,” another person said. “Doesn\u2019t he own a black suit?<\/p>\n

“Desperate to be noticed at a funeral – zero respect.”<\/p>\n

A second also added: “Why is Trump wearing a blue suit instead of a black one like others. Perhaps Zelenskyy could ask him why he hasn’t dressed more appropriately?”<\/p>\n

Following the funeral in the square, Pope Francis\u2019s remains will be taken through the streets of Rome in another break with tradition, as he is transported to the basilica of Saint Mary Major, as per his instructions.<\/p>\n

The Vatican said a group of ‘poor and needy’ people will be present on the steps leading to the basilica to pay their last respects before the interment of the coffin, in a nod to Francis\u2019 particular care for the downtrodden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
