It would be news if president Trump wore something other than a blue suit.
Saturday, in Rome for the funeral of Pope Francis, Trump stood out like a sore thumb as one of a few people adorned in blue. England's Prince William also wore blue, but the media is focusing on Trump, who might not have a black suit in his closet. Wife Melania wore a black ensemble, veil included, and blended in.
Media outlets were quick to note Trump had committed a violation of Vatican protocols for funerals, as did William, but, again, Trump attracted a media firestorm because of his reputation as a vain narcissist. He had five days to have a black suit custom tailored for him.
So, the question is asked again. Is it willful ignorance of protocol? Or is it general disrespect, since he & Francis had a number of disagreements?
I guess we'll never know.
