President Trump set the internet ablaze by donning a royal blue suit, rather than a traditional black or navy suit, at the funeral of Pope Francis in the Vatican City on Saturday.
Accompanied by the First Lady, who wore all black, with a long black veil, President Trump boldly stood out as the lone dignitary choosing to forgo the more traditional funereal black attire.
For those researchers who have traced President Trump’s movements over the past decade, many believe that President Trump frequently uses symbolism to communicate a deeper intended meaning behind certain executive decisions.
For example, when President Trump broke the internet in 2017 by tweeting, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” millions of X accounts furiously scrambled to try and decode the president’s intended meaning.
President Trump deleted this viral tweet six hours later, alternatively posting, and then deleting, “Who can figure out the true meaning of covfefe? Enjoy!!!”
Later that day, Press Secretary Sean Spicer brilliantly confounded the media by saying, “A select group of people know exactly what [President Trump] meant.”
In addition to the “covfefe” bonanza, hundreds more of President Trump’s quotations, social media post timestamps, and even his aesthetic and decor decisions have sparked debate amongst an inestimable number of internet accounts, as to the possible deeper meaning behind President Trump’s expressions.
To that end, after President Trump opted to wear blue at the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday, many commentators began to speculate as to whether President Trump donned this attire as a sign of disrespect to the late Pope Francis.
If so, the consensus wagered, then President Trump must have a very deep-seated reason for his personal disdain of Pope Francis – and details of this fissure would inevitably remain outside the public purview for reasons of national security.
However, this rivalry between President Trump and Pope Francis over the span of years has been no total secret.
When President Trump visited the Vatican in 2018, President Trump infamously grinned ear-to-ear while posing for photos with the media. President Trump was then juxtaposed with Pope Francis, who appeared incredibly sullen and dour.

Pope Francis often lectured President Trump for not allowing millions of illegal immigrants into America to reshape the country. Pope Francis similarly pushed an illegal immigration agenda into Europe, where the negative ramifications are evident.
Nowadays, rival news outlets remain hyper-focused on President Trump’s attire choices, at the most superficial level.
On the contrary, as the Vatican conclave elects the new pope in the coming weeks, the Gateway Pundit will continue to provide fair coverage, targeting the core of the Vatican’s ills, and, we pray, its increased return to grace.
