Trump wore a blue suit, while Melania wore a black dress with a black veil when they arrived to the Vatican today.<\/p>\n<p>Since most attendees at the funeral wore black, his choice of attire garnered criticism online. One person posted on X, \u201cRespect? Not even a black suit is on him. At least Melania is dressing all in black, with a modest black veil, for the funeral.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst Lady Melania wearing the traditional lace veil, in respect and flowing tradition as she and @POTUS arrive at the Funeral of Pope Francis,\u201d said another admirer of Melania. @FLOTUS is so elegant and respectful. Another person commented, \u201cMelania looked a Perfect First Lady.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was wondering why Donald Trump wore a blue suit,\u201d someone else said. I get it now. He is different from the others. Melania is dressed traditionally for a Catholic funeral in the meantime. As one person put it on Twitter, \u201cTrump is a supreme embarrassment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicola Hickling, a lip reading expert, revealed to us in an exclusive interview what Melania said to her husband when they exited Air Force One on Friday night. According to Nicola, Trump answered, \u201cReady,\u201d to which Melania replied, \u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our FREE newsletters here to receive the most recent news delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>Trump grinned at the people who had gathered to see him and Melania as they descended the stairs after exiting the aircraft. \u201cIt was a good flight, thank you,\u201d he added. Nicola said the same. Subsequently, the President reportedly said, \u201cWe will see you when we meet Macron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The President and First Lady attended the outdoor service for the funeral, sitting in the front row next to French President Emmanuel Macron. Before the service, Trump also had a quick meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to confirmation from Zelensky\u2019s office and the White House. Steven Cheung, the director of communications for the White House, stated that they \u201cmet privately today and had a very productive discussion\u201d and that further information would be provided.<\/p>\n<p>Trump informed reporters on Friday that he was attending the funeral \u201cout of respect\u201d for the pope, who vehemently disagreed with him on a number of subjects, such as immigration, how migrants are treated, and climate change. Early on in their relationship, the American president and the Argentine pope clashed over immigration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44812\" src=\"https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL.webp 1200w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-450x300.webp 450w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44813\" src=\"https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fecoya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-FUNERAL-450x300.jpg 450w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melania and Donald Trump attended Pope Francis\u2019 funeral at the Vatican on Saturday along with other international leaders, but the President\u2019s attire drew harsh criticism online.
