In a development that has sparked widespread discussion and controversy, former U.S. President Donald Trump has drawn significant criticism for his behavior and choice of attire during Pope Francis’ funeral. The event, which took place in Vatican City, was a solemn occasion attended by global leaders, dignitaries, and millions of mourners. However, Trump managed to stand out, albeit for reasons that some believe were less than respectful.
