Dude wore a blue suit to a Catholic funeral.🤦♂️
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.
It's a custom not to wear blue?
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.
It is a sect of Christianity, but a fair amount of protestants don't like to acknowledge that. I grew up in a very Presbyterian family, and I straight up didn't know that Catholics were Christians until I was an adult because I was always taught that they were sinners who were obsessed with meaningless rituals, who worshipped the virgin Mary and saints rather than god (i.e. "false idols"), etc.
I'm no longer religious, but my family still is and my mom - to this day - refuses to acknowledge the fact that Catholics are Christians.
That’s completely true, but he didn’t create an Anti-Protestant Bias Coalition to protect Protestants from persecution. If he’s championing Christianity, so he should respect all of its sects.
You and I both know he’s full of shit, and just doing this to tighten his grip on the Bible Belt. All the more reason I feel compelled to call out his hypocrisy when it’s visible.
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.
To be fair, he wasn't there for the Pope.
It's a PR game, why do you think he wore BLUE when everyone else wore black?
That tracks
