At Pope Francis’ funeral on April 26, Donald Trump drew attention not just for attending,
but for wearing a bright blue suit and light blue tie—breaking with Vatican protocol, which traditionally calls for black attire. While most world leaders dressed in somber colors, Trump’s choice ignited criticism on social media, with many calling it disrespectful and attention-seeking.
Some speculated it was a symbolic move or personal statement, while others defended the outfit, noting different cultural norms for non-Catholics. Regardless of intent, Trump once again became the center of public discussion—whether by design or default.
