Donald Trump slammed after 'cheeky' and 'disrespectful' gesture at Pope Francis funeral
In typical Donald Trump fashion, he has made a "git" of himself at Pope Francis' funeral. X users are up in arms about the apparent disrespect the leader of the free world showed by one specific act
As Pope Francis' funeral gets underway today and world leaders fill the square outside St Peter's Basilica, Donald Trump has already made a numpty of himself.
The square in the Vatican has been very specifically laid out into four quarters, one for dignitaries, one for cardinals, one for clergies and one for the public. Trump was strategically seated far away from Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Trump, sticking out like a sore thumb, on his own at the front of the rows of dignitaries, opted to wear a blue suit, when it seems every single other world leader came in an appropriate black. However, this isn't the main thing that has got viewers on X up in arms.
Both Trump and his wife Melania stepped onto the carpet of which the Pope's coffin sat on. As a sign of respect, no other leader did this.
One X user wrote: "Why did Trump stand on edge of carpet under Pope's coffin when paying respects? All other dignitaries stood about a metre back from its edge."
Another enraged viewer wrote: "Trump and Malaria the only two stepping over the rug where Pope Francis' coffin sits when paying respect, jeeeezzz! #PopeFrancis"
Someone else responded to the comment, equally furious. They wrote: "OK, so I'm not the only person who noticed Trump and Melania stepping on the rug.
"I'm sure they were given instructions to stay off the rug. But, nooooo!"
Another posted: "All the world leaders pay their respects to the Pope standing back from the coffin except Trump who stands on the carpet! What a cheeky get who does he think he is?"
In regards to the terrible choice of dress, one X user posted: "How disrespectful, Trump is at the Pope’s funeral wearing a blue suit & he looks completely out of place."
Another user responded by saying: "Exactly. He couldn't have worn a black suit like every other dignitary? Why does he always look rumpled and wrinkled?"
Another X user slammed Trump and praised Zelenskyy in the same post. They wrote: "Didn’t even bother to bow his head the disrespectful POS Meanwhile spontaneous applause for Zelenskyy from the crowd."
The funeral began at 9am (UK time) and is being shown live on BBC one and Sky.
You can also watch the service on YouTube on the official Vatican account.
