The Vatican’s dress code requires male guests attending papal funerals to wear a formal black suit, black tie, and a black lapel pin.

President Donald Trump was sharply criticized for wearing his trademark blue suit, paired with a blue tie and an American flag lapel pin.

The 78-year-old president stuck out like a sore thumb in a sea of attendees dressed in black, the proper color for such an event.

Catholics and non-Catholics alike consider black attire appropriate for funerals, but nobody should be surprised that an attention seeking narcissist did not follow social conventions.

I am surprised Trump did not attend the papal funeral in his birthday suit, expecting everyone to praise his most splendid funeral suit befitting the Emperor of the World.

Trump should have worn mismatched clothing, oversized shoes, a pink wig and painted his nose red, befitting his status as the biggest clown in the world.

But even if Trump had worn a formal black suit and a black tie, he would still have been out of place. A leader who embodies the spirt of the antichrist has no place in a funeral honoring a pope who patterned his life and ministry after Christ.
