Breaking News: Donald Trump Demanded and Got Front Row Seat at Pope Francis’ Funeral Or Else He Wouldn’t Attend the Ceremony…Read More 👇

President Donald Trump secured his highly coveted front-row seat at Pope Francis’ funeral by making it a condition of his attendance, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

A diplomatic source claimed: “He made it very clear before he even agreed to travel: front row or no show. If they had said no, he wasn’t coming. Period.”

Insiders claimed the leader of the U.S. “strong-armed” the Vatican into making an exception to their alphabetized seating arrangement.

One official claimed: “They knew he would turn it into an international incident if he wasn’t treated like a king. They decided it was better to just give him what he wanted and avoid a spectacle.”

The seating stunt, however, hasn’t gone unnoticed inside Vatican circles.

Another senior source confessed: “It was humiliating.

“We bent the rules because we knew he’d make a scene. This wasn’t about honoring the Pope – it was about feeding Trump’s ego.”

Pride of place at the top of the steps of St Peter’s Basilica went to Argentina, Francis’ native country, whose president, Javier Milei, sat in the front row.

Next came Italy, the nation surrounding the Vatican, which formally recognised its sovereignty in 1929. Italian dignitaries occupied the second-best seats, as Francis served as bishop of Rome and primate of the Catholic bishops of Italy.

The French alphabet dictated the rest of the seating, still regarded as the language of diplomacy. Guests from Allemagne (Germany) were among those near the front, and the États-Unis (United States) delegation ensured President Trump had a prominent seat, rather than being placed in the third row as some had expected.
