'Trump will be out of place at Pope Francis's funeral'

[sop]

"Donald Trump, who never likes to miss a chance to show off his mug at an international event, announced he is going to Pope Francis’s funeral on Saturday. It’s an odd choice for a president whose policies Pope Francis abhorred and routinely denounced."

“'In 2015, [Pope Francis] penned the first-ever papal encyclical focused solely on the environment,' the New York Times reported. This 'sprawling call to action… recognized climate change as both a social and environmental crisis, and emphasized that its greatest consequences were shouldered by the poor.' At the signing of the Paris Agreement that year, 'at least 10 world leaders made specific reference to the pope’s words during their addresses to the United Nations climate conference.'..Trump has since pulled out of the Paris Agreement, rolled back anti-climate change actions, curtailed scientific study, installed ideological know-nothings at the EPA, and fawned over the fossil fuel industry."

"Trump’s assault on immigrants’ rights likewise highlights the moral gap between the most xenophobic modern president and the pope most attuned to the plight of migrants. The Pope’s death came in the midst of the most egregiously unconstitutional and cruel anti-immigrant dragnet launched by a U.S. president. He and his toadies have consigned legal U.S. residents to a hellhole gulag in El Salvador, smeared a Maryland father as an MS-13 gang member, and rousted students off the streets without warning, under the flimsy guise of fighting antisemitism."

1. But he will elbow his way to the front for the photo

2. Expect fidgeting on a par with a 3-year-old

I hope those eulogizing the pope let him have it good

6. If the mass is recited in Italian, he won't even realize they're talking about him.

7. Nothing besides the mass?

I would expect at least a modicum of eulogizing and commentary.

3. An old fashioned shunning

Is in order.

4. Of course it's all about him showing off

his ugly mug. He hates for anyone or anything to seem to upstage him, and Francis' funeral will be about the only thing on the news that day.
Will he stay at his golf course in Scotland? I don't think there is a trump dump in italy.

5. Papal Swiss Guards

Perhaps a few Papal Swiss Guards might 'closely-accompany' him, not to single him out for the cameras, but to ensure that he does nothing untoward during the entire funeral Mass.

8. He apparently passed gas & defecated in his diaper at Notre Dame restoration celebration

seated next to poor Jill Biden.. So, those nearby are going to need a "holy" intervention. Geebus.

9. trump is out of place anywhere he goes, 24/7. 9nt0

10. maybe he'll spontaneously combust.

i suspect he’ll make an epic fool of himself.

11. Why can't the Vatican restrict attendance to "Catholics only"?

It would prevent people like Chump from making a sideshow out of what should be considered a solemn occasion.

12. Trump is out of place around toilet-trained human beings.

Fitting in at the funeral of an internationally beloved leader is a bar too high for him to clear.
