Trump will attend Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome despite contentious past: ‘Look forward to being there!’
President Trump indicated Monday – following news of Pope Francis’s death – that he and first lady Melania Trump will be attending the Pope’s funeral at the Vatican, despite the president’s somewhat contentious history with the late leader of the Catholic Church.Traditionally, papal funerals take place four to six days following their death, so Francis’s funeral is expected to take place before the end of the month.
