I want to criticize him for his blue suit at a funeral so bad, but then I get Obama "tan suit" vibes from myself and gotta reel it back. It just feels so intentional, like he just HAD to stick out and make sure everyone knew where he was seated. Only one in blue in a sea of black, yuck.

Dude wore a blue suit to a Catholic funeral.🤦♂️
Not "a Catholic funeral", the fucking Pope's funeral. I'm not religious at all but only a right psychopath would not try to attend a funeral with some respect for those who are attending.
Donald doesn't reall exude respect.
He exudes several things (the distinct odour of shit and the scent of Russian cum are quite noticeable) but respect is generally not amongst his many secretions.
That tracks
Is it a rule? I'm not Catholic
It’s a Roman Catholic custom. The Pope is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, so it’s kind of a bigger deal than going to a family funeral.
He should've worn tan
Having to wear black is such a stupid concept. Fuck Trump but this is the least of his many horrible failings.
This isn’t the same as Obama’s tan suit. The dude is championing Christianity as a national religion. He should respect the customs.
He’s pushing Christian nationalism not Catholicism
Catholicism is a sect of Christianity, just like Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy. If he’s going after people who disrespect Christianity, he should show respect for it himself.
Best thing for Zelensky is really meeting Trump one on one, without his chaotic advisors dissuading and adding fuel to the fire.
Trump is a coward at heart, he'll be less likely to throw tantrums and play the "big man" act without his cheerleaders around. Plus, meeting on neutral ground is also great, since the worst place to meet a bully is in his own home, where he feels safe and calls the shots.
Still, not that it matters much in the end. Even if Zelensky convinced Trump of anything through stroking his ego, his cheerleaders will talk him right out of it as soon as he leaves the Vatican. Or Putin, after a quick call. That's how fickle he is.
I don’t believe in God, but if that rapist felon dropped dead in front of everyone, it might change my mind.
It would have to be like a lightning strike or something... If he has a heart attack or stroke that would just be expected.
I would convert to whatever god put that pos down. I would become the poster child for them.
I hope you wore a suit and said thank you.
The White House described the 15-minute meeting as "very productive" and Zelensky later called it "very symbolic"
Yeah. I know they included a picture, but based on that description I was expecting a conversation between two adjacent stalls in the john
Why in St Pete’s? Seems like an odd setting for a diplomatic meeting.
