Prince William and President Trump Spark Suit Showdown at Pope’s Funeral.

...

The internet, ever thirsty for a spectacle, found its latest battleground this week in an unexpected place: men’s formalwear. 

After a viral tweet accused President Trump of lacking "the decency" to wear a black suit to Pope Francis's funeral, the floodgates opened both in the United States and across the United Kingdom.

...
MAGA loyalists rallied to the former president’s defense faster than you could say “tailor-made.” Their weapon of choice? A royal comparison.

 Supporters pointed out that Prince William, the Prince of Wales himself, also skipped the traditional black attire, instead donning a blue suit much like Trump’s. 

 And yet, they argued, not a whisper of criticism was hurled at the future King.

...
But critics of Trump were not about to let the moment pass quietly into the night. 

They sharpened their pens and their tweets, insisting that not all blues are created equal.

 According to the outrage artists, Prince William’s suit was a deep, dignified navy, while Trump’s choice was a lighter, almost sky-blue shade - a hue they deemed unbecoming for the solemn occasion.

...
What started as a simple matter of fabric and thread spiraled into a symbolic clash of class, decorum, and political allegiance.

 In an era where perception is king and every photo becomes a battlefield, even the color wheel now seems to take sides.

As the dust settles — or more likely, as it continues to swirl — one thing is crystal clear: in 2025, even at a funeral, nothing is sacred anymore. Not even a man’s suit.
