President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump touched down in Rome, Italy on Friday to attend the funeral of Pope Francis at the Vatican on Saturday morning—marking President Trump’s first official foreign trip of his second term.
Seated prominently in the front row among the world’s dignitaries and elites, President Trump, already considered one of the most consequential leaders in modern history, quickly became the undeniable center of attention.

Foreign leaders and diplomats were seen approaching Trump one after another, offering greetings and handshakes as he patiently waited for the ceremony to begin.
Video captured by C-SPAN shows the unmistakable energy shift in the room whenever President Trump interacted with the assembled leaders, reinforcing that despite the attempts of globalists and media critics, America’s influence—and Trump’s stature—are stronger than ever.
At a funeral meant to celebrate the life of a controversial pope known for his progressive stances, it was Donald Trump who truly commanded the world’s attention.
