Related: About this forumTrump Makes A Complete Fool Of Himself At Pope's Funeral - The Ring of Fire
Donald Trump was humiliated on the global stage this past weekend for both his behavior at Pope Francis funeral, as well as his policies that were attacked during the Homily. Trump was called out for breaking the dress code by wearing a blue suit, for chewing gum during the service, and for playing on his phone. But the real attack came during the Homily, when the world was reminded that the Pope always encouraged people to build bridges, not walls, which was a direct line of attack to Trumps build the wall pledge. Ring of Fires Farron Cousins explains what happened.

The funeral of Pope Francis was of course, this past weekend and Donald Trump got a front row seat to the funeral, even though it was very obvious that even though he was a man of God, Pope Francis did not like Donald Trump. Nevertheless, there he was in the front row and the entire world got a front row seat to watch Donald Trump be humiliated on the global stage. Because during the homily of the service for the funeral of Pope Francis Catholic , you gotta have the homily, right? I grew up Catholic. I know all about it, man. Catholic funerals can go on for a long time. Donald Trump was called out by Cardinal Giovanni Ray, who delivered the homily.
And here is what Ray said in front of the entire world. Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice, imploring peace and calling for reason and honest negotiation to find possible solutions. Build bridges, not walls, was an exhortation. He repeated many times, build bridges, not walls, of course, as a direct attack on Donald Trump's promise to build the wall. Something that Pope Francis had called him out on during his first administration. And of course during this second one, again, the Pope, a man of God who's supposed to love everybody, clearly did not like Donald Trump. The two clashed frequently. And Pope Francis criticized many of Donald Trump's policies, not just the wall, but his overall immigration policies, uh, what he's done to Ukraine, all of it. Pope Francis was not happy, but that was just part of the humiliation that Donald Trump suffered on the global stage before he even got there.
He was on Air Force one where he told, uh, reporters, they asked him like, Hey, you go to the funeral. And he said, yeah, I owe it because you know, the Catholics voted for me, a majority of the Catholics, 56%. It should have been more. I don't know why I didn't get all of them. And then he goes on and on and on and on about how great he did in the 2024 election. He's headed to the funeral of the Pope and he's on the plane bragging, I won the election. I did so great. Everybody loves me. The Catholics love me, so I owe it to them to go. Then he showed up in
A blue suit, which of course, anybody who knows funeral etiquette knows that that is a major fashion. Faux pa. You wear black. Donald Trump has black suits. We have seen him in black suits. They fit him there. There's no excuse. Like, ah, man was at the cleaners. Oh no, I've gained weight or I've lost weight. And it looked goofy on me. No, you have black suits. You chose to wear blue, and I'm assuming it's so that you could stand out. He was also caught on video chewing gum during the funeral of the Pope. And at one point he was also caught. He had his hands way, way down, but he was on his phone. He was playing on his phone while he was at the funeral of the Pope. So again, congratulations, United States. This is the man you picked. This immature child is who we sent to represent us at Pope Francis Funeral. Absolutely the worst we could have possibly done.
