What Melania Whispered - Lip Reader 'Decodes' Five Words To Trump During Pope Francis' Funeral

Melania Trump reportedly whispered five words to Donald Trump during Pope Francis' funeral, and suddenly the handshake circuit became the main character.

While mourners were invited to turn and exchange handshakes during the traditional sign of peace, a lip-reading expert claimed Melania told Trump, “You should go do it.” Right after that, Trump was seen shaking hands with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and French President Emmanuel Macron.

But the moment was already loaded, because Trump had also faced online backlash for wearing a blue suit instead of the traditional black, and his pre-Vatican remarks quickly shifted from tribute to networking.

Speaking ahead of his flight to Vatican City, Trump offered a brief tribute to Pope Francis, saying, "[He] loved the world, actually, and he was just a good man. I thought he was a fantastic kind of guy."

During the two-hour service, the “sign of peace” was basically the cue, and Melania’s alleged whisper was the spark that sent Trump moving.</p>

During the two-hour service, it was reported that attendees were invited to turn to those around them and exchange handshakes as a traditional 'sign of peace'.

Lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling, from Lip Reader Limited and speaking on behalf of Oddspedia, told the Express that she believes Melania turned to Donald Trump and said, "You should go do it."

Following the brief exchange, Trump was seen shaking hands with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and French President Emmanuel Macron, participating in the ceremonial gesture.

Once Trump started shaking hands with Alexander Stubb and Emmanuel Macron, the ceremony looked less like mourning and more like a diplomatic field trip.</p>

Julianna Ormond, a body language consultant, notes that subtle gestures can convey a multitude of emotions.

This raises echoes of the AI firm that declined a Pentagon contract over potential US military use.

In addition to facing backlash online for attending the late pope’s funeral in a blue suit instead of the traditional black, a color long associated with mourning and respect, Donald Trump was also criticized for comments he made to the media before departing Washington, D.C.

Speaking ahead of his flight to Vatican City, Trump offered a brief tribute to Pope Francis, saying, "[He] loved the world, actually, and he was just a good man. I thought he was a fantastic kind of guy."

However, his remarks quickly shifted focus. Trump went on to highlight the diplomatic opportunities the funeral would present, telling MSNBC, "It's going to be very interesting. We're going to meet with a lot of the foreign leaders; they want to meet."

Critics online labeled the shift in tone as 'disrespectful,' arguing that Trump appeared more focused on networking with world leaders than paying tribute to the late pontiff.

That perception got worse because his media comments before leaving Washington, D.C. sounded like he was counting meetings, not moments.</p>

"Trade deals are going very well. I think Russia and Ukraine, I think they are coming along; we hope, very fragile. And Iran I think is going very well. We'll see what happens. We're working on plenty of things," Trump said.

His remarks quickly sparked backlash online. One Twitter user responded, "My goodness. Please tell me Donald Trump isn’t going to try to work trade deals at Pope Francis’s funeral."

"Disrespectful," another user added.

A third commented, "He should be shunned."

So when people noticed the blue suit instead of black, they weren’t just nitpicking clothing, they were judging the whole vibe of the day.</p>
