At Pope Francis’ funeral, all eyes were on Melania Trump, who was seen discreetly guiding her husband, Donald Trump, on the proper etiquette for the somber occasion.
As world leaders gathered in Vatican City to honor the late Pope, a lip-reading expert claimed that Melania subtly advised Trump, saying, “You should go do it,” referring to the traditional handshake during the “sign of peace.” Trump, responding with a simple, “Oh, alright,” then proceeded to shake hands with dignitaries such as Emmanuel Macron and Alexander Stubb. While some criticized him for choosing a blue suit instead of the traditional black, Trump managed to turn the moment into a diplomatic opportunity. He hinted at potential breakthroughs in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks, and his earlier comments about trade deals sparked controversy, with many accusing him of a tone that seemed disrespectful.
Nevertheless, his engagement in the ceremony stood out as a rare instance of diplomacy amidst the spectacle.
