President Donald Trump announced that he and First Lady Melania Trump would be attending Pope Francis’s funeral after the Vatican announced early Monday that the Pope had died at the age of 88.
“Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “We look forward to being there!”
As Breitbart News previously reported, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had died on Easter Monday after leading the Catholic Church for 12 years.
A papal conclave will gather in order to select a successor and a new Pontiff.

I wish He wouldn’t
Agreed
Countering hate with love
He shouldn’t announce it at least. Don’t even go, in my opinion.
Hopefully Vance isn’t going in spite of the fact he was one of the last people the Pope saw. Too risky.
Ditto
Send a plane over there with Shane Gillis
Same ! Don’t go.
These countreis have lousy security and are full of Trump-hating fools, including their Deep States.
Walking into a nest of leftist Marxist vipers.
This will be a security nightmare especially with so many wackos who hate Trump. Trump should reconsider and not go.
Is Melania Catholic?
Hmmm. Maybe Trump can wield some behind the scenes influence with the cardinals to get a traditionalist, conservative anti-globalist elected.
Yes, although she is pro-choice, so some might say the two are incompatible. But she’s nominally Catholic.
Do not go to this funeral. The Pope was a no good evil creep.
I’m sure security will be coordinated with the Italian government. The Vatican is a sovereign state, but I have to imagine that they’re heavily reliant on the Italian state for much of their security.
Melania is most definitely Catholic. And fervent, too. The couple has been to the Vatican before.
I just read up on her bio. Her father had her secretly baptized a Roman Catholic when she was a child growing up in the officially atheistic Yugoslavia.
He should just have the Papal assassin J.D. attend instead. This commie creep wasn’t important enough for Trump.
