"Donald Trump is being brutally mocked for his flippant Truth Social post about attending the funeral of Pope Francis, who died Monday at 88. "Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome," Trump wrote on Monday afternoon. "We look forward to being there!" Folks sneered at the president's seemingly jovial attitude toward a somber event, with one influencer lamenting, "This is why the world laughs at us.""
"Dr. David I. Ramadan, a former Republican state delegate in Virginia, blasted the message, stating, "'We look forward to being there' is not the sentiment you express about a funeral-especially for a revered figure like the Pope. Stop at confirming attendance or, better yet, offer a tribute to his legacy. It's not about being seen, it's about showing respect -but this is Donald Trump...""
"Others called him a "dope" and "true psychopath" and berated him for treating a funeral like a wine tasting. Is Trump going to try to deport the dead Pope for supporting the Palestinians and migrants???Oh wait, he's just going there to pretend he's Christian so he can cling on to his religious voters now that his trade war has gone to hell."
Pope Francis died Monday at 88. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social, "Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome," adding, "We look forward to being there!" The post prompted widespread ridicule for its upbeat tone toward a somber event. Critics accused Trump of treating the funeral like a social engagement, with some calling him a "dope" and a "true psychopath." Former Virginia Republican delegate Dr. David I. Ramadan urged a restrained confirmation or a tribute to the Pope's legacy, saying the phrase emphasized visibility over respect. Others questioned Trump's motives and political optics.
