Backlash Over Attire
Many have accused Trump of showing 'disrespect' to the late Pope this morning with his choice of outfit, reports The Mirror. While most have chosen to wear traditional black for the funeral - including his wife Melania, who has matched it with a veil, the US President has worn a blue suit for the service.

Social media users have voiced their opinions on the matter, with one saying: 'Why isn't Trump wearing a black suit? Such disrespect.' The criticism continued on various platforms, with some questioning Trump's lack of decorum during the solemn occasion.
