A professional lip reader claims Donald Trump whispered “I’ll go over and speak to him” to Melania during Pope Francis’ funeral on April 26 at St. Peter’s Basilica, where the couple joined world leaders like Volodymyr Zelenskyy to honor the late pontiff.
Trump stood out in a bright blue suit among mostly black-clad mourners, while Melania wore traditional Catholic mourning attire. Though initially expected to sit in the back, they were seen among top dignitaries.
Melania gave a subtle “side-eye” response to Trump’s remark, according to lip reader Nicola Hickling. Trump later told Fox News he attended “out of respect” and emphasized his strong support from Catholic voters. Melania, a devout Catholic, called her earlier meeting with Pope Francis “unforgettable.”
