'Must be furious': Trump brutally mocked after being snubbed at Pope Francis’ funeral
U.S President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump,attend the funeral Mass of Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, April 26, 2025.
On Saturday morning, April 26, the funeral for Pope Francis — who died on April 21 at the age of 88 — was held in Vatican City in Italy. Top officials from around the world attended, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to reports, Zelensky received a much warmer welcome than Trump. And X.com, formerly Twitter, is being inundated with reactions.
The conservative Republicans Against Trump, posting CNN's coverage of the funeral, tweeted, "The crowd at the Pope’s funeral erupted in applause when President Zelensky arrived. Donald Trump must be furious."

In a separate tweet, Republicans Against Trump noted, "The strict dress code for the Pope’s funeral required men to wear dark suits and long black ties. Naturally, Trump was the only one who showed up in a blue suit and tie."
X user Anna Komsa observed, "While Zelensky was greeted with a spontaneous round of applause, Trump, in his blue suit at Pope Francis's funeral, received nothing."
Another X user, Barry Kenny, commented, "He is so self-absorbed he won’t have registered it, his toadies so cowardly they won’t say it, but Trump roundly ignored by Pope Francis’ funeral crowd, while @ZelenskyyUa spontaneously applauded - the people know who the true leader of the free world is. #popefrancisfuneral."
Political strategist Chris D. Jackson posted, "Trump may see himself as the main event, but at Pope Francis’s funeral, he’s reportedly stuck in the third row. Not surprising — it's no secret the Pope and his people didn’t care for him. If Biden were still president, he'd be up front — where real leaders sit."

X user Mike Thomas tweeted, "Watching the spectacle of the funeral of Pope Francis is special. Catholic or not you have to respect his humility and core humanity. Why is Trump in a blue suit and blue tie. At least Melania is correctly attired with a veil. What a great ovation for Zelensky (Trump none!)
The Daily Telegraph, meanwhile, tweeted a photo of Trump and Zelensky meeting in Vatican City before the funeral.
