One person posted on X: “Any reason why Donald Trump is in a blue suit and not wearing traditional black for a funeral?”
Another commented: “I see that Trump’s wearing a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral so that he stands out. T**ser!”
Someone else said: “Watching the funeral on BBC News. Trump is in a blue suit when everyone else is in black. No class.”
And another wrote: “Why is Trump wearing a blue suit while everyone else is in black? No respect.”
While a fifth person commented: “Looking to be noticed – Trump wears a blue suit while others around him confirm with traditional black.”
Many also pointed out the irony, remembering how Trump had previously criticized Zelenskyy for not wearing formal clothes during a meeting at the White House back in February.
Another person said: “Zelenskyy should ask Trump why he’s the only one wearing a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral whilst everyone else (including Trump’s wife) is wearing black. Doesn’t he own a black suit? Desperate to be noticed at a funeral – zero respect.”
Someone else 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?”
After the funeral ceremony in the square, Pope Francis’s body will be carried through the streets of Rome — another break from tradition — and taken to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, following his own wishes.
According to the Vatican, a group of ‘poor and needy’ individuals will gather on the steps of the basilica to pay their final respects before the Pope’s coffin is laid to rest, reflecting Francis’s lifelong dedication to the marginalized.
