Lip reader 'reveals' 7-word comment Trump whispered to Melania at Pope's funeral before giving him 'side-eye'

Donald Trump made a comment about a certain 'him' to Melania during Pope Francis' funeral proceedings.

The funeral proceedings of Pope Francis commenced earlier today (April 26), five days after his passing on April 21.

Hundreds of thousands have flocked to St Peter's Square in Vatican City to pay their respects to the late religious leader.

US President Donald Trump and wife Melania were among the world leaders in attendance, including President of France Emmanuel Macron, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister of the UK Keir Starmer and Prince William.

The Trumps traveled to the Vatican City yesterday on Melania's 55th birthday and during the two-hour service, Trump was spotted making a 'seven-word' comment to the First Lady.

Lip reader Nicola Hickling - from Lip Reader Limited speaking on behalf of Oddspedia - told the Express the US President uttered the words: "I'll go over and speak to him."

And Melania's response? Well, Hickling noted a 'side eye'.

Who the 'him' is? Well, who knows. Given Trump's not exactly pleasant relations with many other world leaders right now given his tariff war, he could mean anyone.

However, given the funeral proceedings were the first time Trump has seen Volodymyr Zelenskyy since he raised his voice and accused the President of Ukraine of 'gambling with World War Three', outlets suspect the comments could have been made in regard to him - Zelenskyy positioned several seats away from Trump.

To the surprise of some, Trump did actually end up in the front row of the funeral proceedings, despite initially being suspected of landing himself a third-tier seat.

While the Vatican didn't release any official details prior to proceedings, outlets reported it was expected to see Catholic royalty given priority with the front row, followed by non-Catholic royals, including Prince William.

World leaders and heads of state would be next according to alphabetical order of the name of their country in French - expected to see Trump a few rows back.

MSNBC reported the Holy See press office as stating Trump would ultimately end up seated between Estonia and Finland's leaders, however, there was also politics to take into consideration - leader of Catholics in England and Wales, Cardinal Vincent Nichols noting in an interview with the PA news agency in Rome, the seating arrangement also takes into consideration 'big egos'.

Ultimately, Trump managed to bag a front-row seat despite coming under fire for his etiquette earlier on in the proceedings, even slammed as a 'disgrace to the US'.

And as to whether Trump did end up speaking to Zelenskyy?

Well, he did before the funeral, the pair reported as having a 'very productive discussion' where they agreed to hold more talks in the future.

UNILAD previously contacted the White House for comment.
