Donald Trump

Donald Trump is catching Flak for using a blue suit for Pope Francis’s funeral, and social networks users are not stopping their opinions.

The president and the first lady Melania Trump attended the funeral of the religious leader on Saturday. After the photos and images of the ceremony arrived on the Internet, the Republican faced online criticism for his outfit.

Users of social networks in X, previously Twitter, sounded on Trump’s team, and some accused him of wanting to be “the center of attention.”

“Of course, Trump is the only fool who uses a blue suit and a blue tie for a funeral … a shame,” a user wrote.

Other commented, “A blue suit? Donald Trump couldn’t even be respectful and use a black suit for Pope Francis’s funeral like the rest of world leaders. He always has to excel and try to be the center of attention.”

“Trump’s great trip to Europe for Popes’s funeral included an unrespectful blue suit instead of black, sending text messages during the ceremony and then falling asleep,” added someone else.

Trump was not the only world leader whose outfit was questioned.

“Attendees wore what they considered an appropriate outfit for such a solemn occasion,” said the source.

Another call Trump’s color choice, not “the end of the world”, but said it was “different” enough for others to notice.
