Trump has declared a national period of mourning following the death of Pope Francis at the age of 88. In a gesture of respect and solidarity, Trump ordered flags across the United States to be lowered to half-staff in honor of the beloved Pontiff. This move comes as the world grapples with the loss of a leader who redefined the papacy through his compassion, humility, and dedication to global peace and social justice. Trump’s declaration marks a moment of reflection for both Catholics and non-Catholics alike, as they pay tribute to Pope Francis' legacy.

00:00I just signed an executive order putting the flags of our country, all of them, all federal flags and state flags at half-mast in honor of Pope Francis.
00:11So he was a good man, worked hard, he loved the world and it's an honor to do that.
00:30Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States and First Lady Melania Trump, accompanied by the Easter Bunny.
01:00Master Gunnery Sergeant Kevin Benier, accompanied by the President's own United States Marine Band, will now honor America with the singing of our national anthem.
01:13Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
01:32Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight
01:40O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming
01:48And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air
01:57Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there
02:06O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave
02:29O'er the land of the brave
02:51It was a beautiful day yesterday, and it's a beautiful day today.
02:55We don't have to worry about sunburn, but it looks like it's not going to be raining.
03:00It's going to be really something special.
03:0240,000, 42,000 people are expected all throughout the day, and it's an honor to have you.
03:07I just signed an executive order putting the flags of our country, all of them, all federal flags, and state flags, at half-mast in honor of Pope Francis.
03:19So he was a good man, worked hard.
03:24He loved the world, and it's an honor to do that.
03:27I want to thank everybody for being here.
03:30This is some band.
03:32I've heard this band actually indirectly for four years and very directly now for four and a half, and I like the direct method even better.
03:41But the Marine Corps band is very, very special.
03:44Thank you very much.
03:45What a great job.
03:47I also want to thank the National Park Service.
03:53The job they do in making everything so beautiful and spiffy, and I'm very difficult when it comes to that.
03:59I will tell you, very, very difficult.
04:01And I say they have done an incredible job.
04:03You just have to look around and see.
04:06And I just want to give a special thank you to our great First Lady who organized this entire event.
04:12She worked very, very hard on it.
04:17She worked very hard.
04:19I said, what are you doing?
04:20She said, I'm working on the egg roll.
04:22I said, that sounds like a lot of fun, and we're going to have a lot of fun in just a couple of minutes.
04:26But again, our country is doing very well.
04:30We had the highest number of recruits, enlistments that we've had in, I think, 28 or 29 years.
04:38And I'm sure we're going to actually beat that number.
04:41It's all happened since November 5th.
04:42It's all happened.
04:44Enrollment in the military is at a record.
04:47And enrollment in the police force, fire forces, and all of the different law enforcement groups.
04:53We have — we're setting records, and six months ago, we couldn't get anybody, and now we're setting records.
05:00That's a sort of testament to what's happening in terms of the spirit of our country.
05:05We love our country, and it's been something very, very special.
05:13And speaking of special, Easter is special, and it's one of our favorite days.
05:18It's one of our favorite periods of time.
05:20We're honoring Jesus Christ, and we're going to honor Jesus Christ very powerfully throughout our lives, all throughout our lives.
05:29Not just now, all throughout our lives.
05:31We're bringing religion back in America.
05:34We're bringing a lot of things back, but religion is coming back to America.
05:38That's why you see the kind of numbers that you're seeing, the spirit and the kind of numbers that you're seeing.
05:43So we're going to come down and join you right now.
05:46But I just want to wish everybody, once again, Happy Easter, and enjoy your lives.
05:52We're going to have a great four years.
05:54Thank you very much, everybody.
