Donald Trump's announcement that he has ordered American flags to be flown at half-mast in homage to Pope Francis, who died yesterday at the age of 88 , is sparking criticism on social media. He spoke from the White House balcony alongside Melania and a person dressed as an Easter Bunny waving at the traditional children's egg hunt in the presidential garden.

The tycoon called Francis a “good man” who “worked hard.” “He loved the world. It’s an honor to do this,” said the president, whose anti-immigrant policies were harshly criticized by the late pontiff.
