White Lotus actor Natasha Rothwell has been criticizing President Donald Trump for months, issuing daily tweets declaring, "@realDonaldTrump you are trash," to let everyone know exactly how she feels—and she has now decided to hilariously change things up following Pope Francis' funeral.
Rothwell is well known for her consistency.

But she's changed it up a bit, adding a visual to a post declaring, "@realDonaldTrump lmao you are trash" that shows Trump seemingly asleep at the Pope's funeral.
Indeed, amid one of the most important events in recent world history—eligible cardinals have gathered in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope through a secretive and sacred process known as the Conclave—Trump, one of multiple heads of state in attendance, appeared to be nodding off.
The irony here is that Trump often attacked former President Joe Biden by referring to him as "Sleepy Joe" and suggested Biden was too old and unfit to be in the executive office.

People loved her sass of course.
Rothwell, who got her big break on the show Insecure and earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her work on The White Lotus, has acknowledged that, for her, comedy and activism are two sides of the same coin, saying that "being a person of color and by being a woman in this industry is sort of a revolutionary act in and of itself."
Noting that she "kind of can’t help but be politically active" because she lived in Washington, D.C. for a decade, she said the election of former President Barack Obama "pulled the racists out of the dark corners of the world."
She added that "these things increased exponentially until Trump's campaign, with me realizing that I had no other choice but to sort of pick up my sign and dedicate my time and energy to speak out."
