Donald Trump faces backlash over ‘disrespectful’ gesture at Pope Francis’ funeral

For a day, Rome was the center of the world as hundreds of thousands of people, including world leaders, assembled to say their farewell to the first pope of Latin-America, the man who affected the Catholic church forever, Pope Francis.

As predicted, US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania were among those who paid their tributes and attended the funeral.

Before heading to Rome, Trump made a comment about the upcoming funeral of Pope Francis that angered many.

Asked to give a mention to about the late pontiff, the business mogul-turned president said “he was a tremendous kind of a guy.” Many said that he should have chosen more powerful words to describe the Catholic leader, slapping his choice of vocabulary.

Further, Trump said Pope Francis’ funeral would be attended by world leaders, which would give him the opportunity to meet with them and talk trade.

“My goodness. Please tell me Donald Trump isn’t going to try to work trade deals at Pope Francis’s funeral,” a person commented.

“Disrespectful,” another added.

A third added: “He should be shunned.”

His comment, which many dubbed unsuitable, wasn’t the only reason Trump has come under fire.

The couple were seen pausing as they passed Pope Francis’ coffin to pay their respects.However, once all the leaders stood in rows, wearing dark attires, Trump “stuck out like a sore thumb” because of his choice of suit.

For some reason, he selected a blue color suit while everyone else’s was black.

Plenty of people took to the social media to express their opinion, writing that the US president lacked class and disrespected the pope by trying to pay the attention.

“Any reason why Donald Trump is in a blue suit and not wearing traditional black for a funeral?” someone asked.

Another added: “I see that Trump’s wearing a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral so that he stands out. T**ser!”

A third continued, “Watching the funeral on BBC News. Trump is in a blue suit when everyone else is in black. No class.”

A fourth chimed in, “Why is Trump wearing a blue suit while everyone else is in black? No respect.”
