It seems that Donald Trump’s karma is coming back around!

Donald Trump Snoozes At The Pope’s Funeral

Pope Francis’s funeral took place on April 26th and it was attended by leaders from all around the world, including Donald Trump. However, despite the historic occasion, the president didn’t appear to be taking it all that seriously, and appeared to actually nod off during the service.

As people around the world tuned in for the funeral by clicking on their television, they were met with the closed eyes and slightly open mouth of Donald Trump. His posture also appeared slumped, like he might’ve been being held up by his wife, Melania, who sat straight backed next to him.

Social Media Reactions

Across Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, users are coming for the former reality star, calling him out not only for sleeping at the pope's funeral, but for being so hypocritical. "Sleepy Don!" one person wrote," and another added, "Donald Slump!"

"Funny the same things he criticized Joe for—like sleeping and slurring words–he has become!" said another.

"Embarrassing," said a fourth, "Sleepy Don needs to get woke!"

"He falls asleep in court, in meetings, probably during meals," one person wrote. "But the propaganda campaign about former President Biden was swallowed hook, link, and sinker by the MAGA—and they wonder why we question their intellect."
