did not include BLUE SUIT

whatever it is about, Trump ALWAYS makes himself the topic of conversation

I read he would be in the 3rd row. I guess it's sort of like trying to seat all the Academy Awards celebrities....lots of egos need to be addressed in order to seat them.

He shouldn't even have been given a seat unless it was at the "kiddie table" in a different room. That would match his mental maturity...a 6 hear old, maybe even a 4 year old.

Including Biden and Prince William.

is individual.

From third row to first (normally reserved for royalty). Sorry that I cannot remember the source for this info.....

The second for non-Catholic royalty, and the third for other dignitaries -- presidents, prime ministers, etc.

Leading to speculation Trump was throwing his weight around. But that seating order was not what was used. Heads of states were in the first row, alphabetically according to their French names. I think the Catholic dignitaries may have been front row in a different side.

still doesn't explain Trump.

Beside Francis was all about inclusion that DJT hates.

Maybe it depended on how the light was hitting it.

At least he didn't wear a red tie.

I can’t see anybody being turned away for a breech of the dress code.

It's Melania's 55th birthday today. Oh, well.

oh, and she has to fly back and forth with him.

being forced to sit near Mr. Farts A. Lot. PU!

I hope they had many scented tissues in their possession beforehand.

and wanted the day to be about the funeral, not $trump and his ego.

He wore a blue suit. Not a terrible slight but noticeable where he was seated. Unique where he was seated, even.

Broader crowd view shows more blue suits.

They didn't do him any favors. Made him look like an asshole outlier.

State leaders were seated in the first row, with Argentina first, and Italy second (for obvious reasons). After that, they were seated alphabetically, using their French names. In French, the United States begins with an E. Pretty close to the beginning of the alphabet.

but in the third row. Crowned heads, etc, first and second rows.

But it turned out to be incorrect.

I was writing essentially the same thing, but a few minutes behind you.

Curses - foiled again.

There were plenty of other presidents in the front row other than Trump. They were arranged alphabetically (except for Argentina and Italy), by their country's French names ( e.g., "États-Unis", not "United States" ). Trump was seated with Estonia and Spain (Espagne) on one side of him and Finland and France on the other. The Spanish head (heads?) of state is royalty, the other three I mentioned are presidents.

at JFK's funeral. She looked as if she were wearing widow's weeds, which seems wildly inappropriate.

TY LisaM

then it hit me. Surprised she didn't bring along a small child to salute the coffin.

but she's heartless and soulless so that makes her a freaking world class Hypocrite

Or just us. The rest of the world went nuts unfortunately we're along for the ride.

they needed to keep an eye on him.

I saw one article mentioned here that said he would be in the third row, but was that coming from the Vatican?

a blue suit. It is not like he showed up dressed like Kid Rock. If he wore a black suit, he would still an asshole.

to ensure that this remained Pope Francis' day, not "American Shitstain Starts Riot at Pope's Funeral" day.

Answer: Anywhere he wants.

Rump is an easily triggered lunatic with a grenade in his pocket. Best to keep him calm while around other humans and sprinkle the room with Holy Water once he leaves.

holy water spraying everything he came in contact with down.
