While nearly everyone wore black to show respect, Trump chose a navy blue suit. His wife, First Lady Melania Trump, wore a black dress and a head covering, similar to those of the other mourners. But the president\u2019s blue suit made him stand out \u201clike a sore thumb,\u201d as many on social media said.<\/p>\n<p>The funeral took place at St. Peter\u2019s Square in the Vatican. About\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/polinews.org\/seating-chart-for-pope-francis-funeral-could-put-trump-in-an-awkward-position\/\">130 official<\/a>\u00a0delegations and 10 reigning monarchs attended. The front rows were filled with leaders from Argentina and Italy, the two countries closest to the Pope\u2019s life. After them, other nations sat in an order set by the French alphabet. That meant \u201cEtats-Unis\u201d (United States in French) came further down the line. Television cameras panned over the crowd, and Trump\u2019s blue suit glowed against the black worn by other leaders.<\/p>\n<p>In many cultures, black is often associated with mourning. It shows respect for the person who has passed away and for those who are grieving. At large funerals, world leaders adhere to a strict dress code to demonstrate unity. By wearing blue, Trump broke that unspoken rule.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-34\"><\/div>\n<p>Almost instantly, people online reacted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet

often disagreed. In 2016, the Pope criticized Trump\u2019s plan to build a wall on the U.S.\u2013Mexico border. He\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/polinews.org\/seating-chart-for-pope-francis-funeral-could-put-trump-in-an-awkward-position\/\">said<\/a>, \u201cA person who thinks only about building walls\u2026 is not Christian.\u201d Trump later called this comment \u201cdisgraceful.\u201d Their 2017 meeting in the Vatican was tense.<\/p>\n<p>The Vatican has a long tradition of hosting significant events. Seating is arranged by rank and country, not by personal preference. Argentina leads because Francis was born there. Italy followed because the Pope served as the Bishop of Rome. Then comes the rest in French alphabetical order\u2014from \u201cAlbanie\u201d (Albania) to \u201cZambie\u201d (Zambia). Even royal families are placed before heads of state to honor ancient customs.<\/p>\n<p>Funerals are times for unity. They bring people together to share grief and hope. Dress codes help everyone express the same feeling of sorrow. When a guest breaks that code, it can feel like a break in respect.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image via Screengrab<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; When President Donald Trump arrived at Pope Francis\u2019s funeral on Saturday, he did not blend in.
