At Pope Francis’s funeral on April 26, 2025, Donald Trump unexpectedly received a front-row seat, despite earlier reports suggesting he’d be seated further back due to protocol.
His presence caused a stir, not just for his placement, but also because he wore a blue suit instead of traditional black mourning attire. Critics online called his outfit disrespectful, though no strict dress code was enforced by the Vatican. The funeral drew over 250,000 attendees, including world leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
