I'll bet the Secret Service is not thrilled with Trump's trip.

[MineralMan]

That funeral is going to be a security nightmare. Lots of world leaders. Lots of people of all kinds trying to be part of the Pope's funeral.

The Secret Service will not be in charge, either. It will just be another set of bodyguards for powerful people. Italian security forces will be stretched as thin as can be imagined.

Nope, the SS would rather Trump stayed put in DC or Merde a GoGo.

[Blues Heron]

1. Yeah, seriously. Maybe things will go wrong.

[Trueblue1968]

39. g. Maybe Rump and Vance will sit together ??????

[Walleye]

2. Maybe it will rain in trump won't get out of the car

[ms liberty]

3. Has he even been invited?

It would be just like them to gate-crash the biggest show of the new year.

[Ocelot II]

7. The Pope is also a head of state, so of course the Vatican would expect

the president of the US to attend, even if he's probably the Antichrist.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. The opportunity to shove people around and interfere in elections

is a big draw. SS will attend to purse snatchers.

[BoRaGard]

5. Will SS arrange taxpayer-funded Gourmet G.O.P. Golffe in Rome for Krasnov?

I mean, he'll have a tough time of it if he can't be swaggering about, luxuriating at our expense.

Will Krasnov (R-Felon) have opportunities in so-called The Eternal City
for intimate tete-a-tetes with other tyrannical dicktators?

[Attilatheblond]

32. Was wondering what excuse Melania will make to assure she gets to go shoppin in Milan

Gotta figure disappointed gold digger will require some pretty massive incentives to accompany him and pretend to give a damn.

[BoRaGard]

33. Krispi Noem (R-CaniAssasin) was going to loan Mel her $60K purse

but...you know.

That's how diamond-crusted crap crumbles.

[Ocelot II]

6. The Secret Service was apparently unable even to keep Gulag Barbie's handbag safe.

The Pope's funeral will be a real challenge for them, but Krasnov wouldn't miss it for the world. There will be lots of ceremony and important people and he'll be paid plenty of attention.

[MineralMan]

9. I'm sure you're right, maybe.

Still, His Lowliness is disliked by many national leaders. And, he will not be the center of attention, which is something he insists on. There will be plenty of competition there in Rome for the paparazzi, etc. I don't think Trump will enjoy himself.

[Ocelot II]

11. He's controversial and widely loathed, so there will be cameras on him,

and he's likely to say or do something that ensures he will be noticed. I don't know what the seating arrangements will be at the funeral, but he's sure to demand that he's front and center.

[ms liberty]

19. Wasn't it at Carter's funeral that they seated him right up front and behind a big ol' pillar?

I think that would be a perfectly fine solution!

[Ocelot II]

23. It will be in St. Peter's Square, so outside.

Maybe they'll put him behind the obelisk.

[ms liberty]

34. Yes, that would work!

[underpants]

8. He's going to have to sit and listen to people not talking about him?

[Ocelot II]

12. He will have to sit and listen to people talk about how Pope Francis cared for the poor

and the immigrants and the marginalized, all that Jesus-y stuff, kind of like how he had to take it from Rev. Budde. He will find this very annoying.

[Deuxcents]

10. A security nightmare? Good. Stay away for everyone's sake.

[phylny]

13. It's going to be a LONG funeral mass.

I’ll be interested to see if he can sit that long. Bonus points to see if he knows The Lord’s Prayer.

[MineralMan]

17. Not in Latin he doesn't.

English is not the official language of the Vatican. Nope.

[MLAA]

20. If the service is more than 30 minutes I put my money on him leaving early and disrupting the service.

That or he falls asleep.

[milestogo]

24. He may need a diaper change.

[MLAA]

35. Adds a whole new meaning and job description to Secret Service Detail

[badhair77]

25. That was my first thought.

How will he ever sit that long, especially through religious rituals and the language barrier for him. Ok, I had to laugh at those words, “language barrier.” He has so many.

[magicarpet]

31. The Tangerine Messiah could bring along his putting iron.

If the funeral gets too long or boring- djt could breakout his putter, roll out a piece of green carpet in a distant corner of St.Peter's Square - then practice his golf shots until the lengthly funeral is over.

[Orrex]

14. I'd feel just terrible if something were to happen to him

So, so terrible.

[malaise]

16. Join the line

😂😀😂

[MineralMan]

18. Well, of course. Goes without saying.

[MLAA]

21. Me too, so so terrible it didn't happen sooner 😬

[returnee]

28. I'd feel terrible if the service was disrupted.

Already the service is diminished by his present. He is the anti-Francis.

[Bluetus]

38. The SS should pack some extra ear tampons

[Tribetime]

15. What an a****** nobody wants him there.I hate this guy

He's definitely not religious or he wouldn't have been posted that crap on Easter

[milestogo]

22. Bad things happen in threes...

[badhair77]

26. They burned him in effigy and shot at him in Spain this past weekend.

Guess he’s not loved everywhere.

[Blue Owl]

27. Fingers crossed that Orrex's daily thread is finally fulfilled

[Baitball Blogger]

29. I foresee Trump walking alongside of the casket and pushing it aside because it's taking his light.

[CanonRay]

30. There's no McDonald's in Vatican City

[Midnight Writer]

36. No worries. Trump handpicked the very best people to run the secret Service and his own personal security detail.

If they are as competent as the rest of his appointees, then things should proceed pretty much as expected.

SNAFU

[Ping Tung]

37. They're also not thrilled about his refusal to give them tips.
