The Papal Masquerade
In a grotesque display of ego and irreverence, Donald Trump crowned himself a mock pope
on his own media platform, Truth Social—just days after solemnly attending a funeral in Rome.
This biting sonnet lays bare the vulgarity of spectacle overpowering sanctity, turning mourning
into meme and the Eternal City into a stage for narcissism.
