During Pope Francis’ funeral, Melania Trump was seen subtly guiding her husband, Donald Trump, on proper etiquette.
As world leaders gathered in Vatican City to pay respects, a lip-reading expert claimed Melania told Trump, “You should go do it,” referring to the handshake tradition during the “sign of peace.” Trump reportedly replied, “Oh, alright,” before shaking hands with leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Alexander Stubb.
Despite criticism over wearing a blue suit instead of black, Trump used the event to push diplomatic goals, hinting at progress in talks between Russia and Ukraine. His earlier remarks about trade deals also drew backlash, with some calling his tone disrespectful.
Still, his decision to engage during the ceremony marked a rare moment of diplomacy.
