The media’s latest circus act—smearing Donald Trump over his alleged “disrespect” at Pope Francis’ funeral —is a masterclass in deception, driven by their rabid anti-Trump agenda. They pounced on his choice of a blue suit, chewing gum, and phone use during the Vatican service, screaming “disrespect” while ignoring the broader context and their own hypocrisy.
Let’s shred their narrative with the facts they conveniently buried.
First, the suit. The media wailed that Trump’s blue ensemble defied the Vatican’s black dress code, branding him a classless oaf.
Note the cropped image, the FULL image is at the top of this article so you can see what they did. They barely whispered that Joe Biden and Prince William also wore blue suits, with Biden even snapping selfies during the event—a far cry from solemnity. Why the double standard? Because Trump triggers them. The media’s selective lens isn’t journalism—it’s propaganda.]
Oh, and there was ANOTHER attendee who chose not to wear any suit and yet the media had nothing to say about him!
Then there’s the gum-chewing and phone fiasco. Outlets like The Mirror screeched that Trump chewing gum and glancing at his phone made him a “total disgrace.” Trump is a world leader, juggling global crises while the media obsesses over his gum use like it’s a war crime. And the phone? I would think that he has constant information flow. The media didn’t care that Trump was the first sitting U.S. president since George W. Bush to attend a papal funeral, showing respect despite past tensions with Francis over immigration and climate issues. No, they’d rather spin a narrative of “Orange Man Bad.”
The media’s motive is obvious: they loathe Trump’s America-first stance, which clashes with their globalist dogma. They’ve been after him since day one, and the funeral was just another chance to try and twist the knife. They ignored his front-row seat—a Vatican honour—his meeting with Zelensky and his ordering flags at half-staff, all gestures of respect.
Instead, they crafted a caricature of a boorish Trump to rile up their audience.
This isn’t about disrespect; it’s about control. The media wants to dictate how Trump should act, dress, and grieve, all while glossing over their own bias. Trump doesn’t play their game—he never has. And that’s why they’ll keep lying. They’re not journalists; they’re activists with keyboards.
