Trump to Get Humiliating Third-Row Seat at Pope's Funeral
President Donald Trump is likely to be seated in the third row at Pope Francis’s funeral Saturday.
Despite being one of the first to confirm his attendance after Pope Francis died on Monday, the thin-skinned president—who famously mocked former President Joe Biden’s placement in the 14th row at Queen Elizabeth II’s 2022 funeral—will be seated several rows back at the state funeral in St Peter’s Basilica, the Daily Telegraph reports.
While not exactly the nosebleed section, Trump is famously unenthusiastic about playing second fiddle to anyone, and is unlikely to be thrilled with his location.
The news comes as the Vatican scrambles to manage what one senior clergyman described as a parade of “big egos.”
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster, told the Telegraph the ceremony would be a “masterpiece of stage management when you consider those state leaders who have high opinions of their importance.”

It may be improp[er to laugh, but I'm laughing.

He was an embarrassment at George H.W. Bush's funeral since all the former presidents and first ladies sat together talking quietly among themselves. They made room for Melania since she and TFG were the last to arrive, but he kept wandering around. 
And he has no religion. When his eldest sister planned to marry a Catholic, she was afraid to tell her father - according to Mary Trump's book. 
Setup anddddd...spike!
Nicely done - I hadn't even thought of that.

Not surprising—it’s no secret the Pope and his people didn’t care for him.
If Biden were still president, he’d be up front—where real leaders sit.
