The US president has been dubbed a ‘disgrace’ after apparently ‘disrespecting’ protocol during Pope Francis’ funeral.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beloved late\u00a0pontiff<\/a>\u00a0was laid to rest on Saturday (April 26) at the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica in Rome after a requiem mass at St Peter’s Basilica.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis tragically passed away<\/a>\u00a0on Easter Monday which prompted hundreds of thousands to pile into the Vatican to pay their respects.<\/p>\n

More than 200,000 people attended the funeral procession at St Peter’s Square to pay homage to the former head of the\u00a0Catholic Church<\/a>, who died from a stroke and heart complications at age 88, including royalty and 50 world leaders.<\/p>\n

Among the VIP line-up was\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania\u00a0Trump<\/a>, as well Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Prince William.<\/p>\n

However, a handful of the attendees appeared to strike a chord with the millions of viewers who tuned in to watch, and not for the right reasons.<\/p>\n

Trump especially has been slammed for not just one but several moments of ‘disgraceful’ behavior at the funeral, after his very presence sparked backlash after it was suggested he only went to appeal to his Catholic voters.<\/p>\n

Here are all Trump’s controversial moments.<\/p>\n

Trump’s blue suit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Viewers were quick to point out Trump stuck out like a sore thumb among the sea of black-cladded attendees as he instead opted to wear a bright navy suit.<\/p>\n

The traditional attire for a Catholic funeral is black, the color of mourning, and is worn to show respect to the recently deceased.<\/p>\n

The POTUS wasn’t the only one to break the all-black funeral attire either, as Prince William similarly donned a dark blue suit.<\/p>\n

However, other people of faith don’t follow the same stringent rules, leaving some to believe Trump and William decided against wearing a black outfit as a symbol of their lack of Catholicism.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump is asked why he decided to go to the Pope Francis’ funeral.<\/p>\n

He starts babbling about how he won the Catholic vote and made it all about himself like a quintessential narcissist. pic.twitter.com\/UOR0oXvHV3<\/a><\/p>\n
