Trump was a bit of an embarrassment on the international stage as he attended the funeral for Pope Francis in Rome.
The most glaring mistake he made was to wear a blue suit to a funeral. I'm not a fashion maven or wealthy, but I have a black suit in my closet right now for funerals. He looked like a guy attending a wedding. He stood out badly in the black adorned crowd.
A black suit at a funeral is a basic. Was he trying to draw attention to himself at the funeral of the Pope? It's either that or he's a complete idiot who needs someone to dress him.
He also chewed gum like a major league manager as he sat in the front row of the service, and he checked his phone during the service. Whereas I do understand he needs to stay in touch, we all know it was FAR more likely he was checking his social media pages.
He also got called out specifically during the homily. Do you know how much of a villain you need to be to be referenced as a source of wrong thinking during the remembrance of a Pope's life?
After, terrified of having to actually talk to the world leaders he had placed tariffs on, Trump quickly skedaddled out of Rome and back to his golf course in Jersey, wasting a golden opportunity to engage in negotiations with world leaders in this time of economic upheaval.
As far as him allegedly dozing off during the service, the still images look damning, but since there doesn't seem to be any video of it, it's very likely he was bowing his head during the service and just looked like he was sleeping.
Regardless, another banner day for Trump on the international stage.
