President Trump will not attend former First Lady Barbara Bush’s funeral on Saturday, the White House announced.
“To avoid disruptions due to added security, and out of respect for the Bush Family and friends attending the service, President Trump will not attend,” the White House said in a statement.
First Lady Melania Trump will attend the funeral.
Aside from her husband and son, other former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama will be at Saturday's service.
Former first ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama will also attend.
What a load of rubbish that he can't attend because of security disruptions and "out of respect " for the Bush family! He's probably scared of the Bushes and he realizes he won't be the center of attention at the funeral.
So Melania will attend while he works hard this weekend at Mar-A-Lago !

OK, I am SO far from a Trumpster supporter but this is the norm. The First Lady normally attends these funerals.
It the President was to attend. The hit piece would be all about how he disrupted the service and wanted to be the center of attention. Imagine what the media would be reporting on. As it is there will be much to report about the FLOTUS and what she wears and on and on............. They make everything a Trump issue.
Its a day for the focus to be on the Bush family and what are we talking about ? Trump.
Dems and their media partners robbing the grave before its even occupied. Excellent standards for the POS

I think out of respect he might cancel his golf game.
Trump can't go also because the Bush family snubbed him and wouldn't go to the GOP convention.

The Bush family hates Trump, just like the Clinton family. Considering Dems typically called the Bush's mass murderers its all kind of odd. Makes me like Trump a little more!

Presidents don't normally go to a funeral for a former first lady. Obama did not go to either Nancy's or Betty's funerals(were you as outraged then are you are now?), Bush didn't go to Lady Bird's funeral, etc.

I hope she wears sneakers when she boards the plane to fly there
This is not unusual y'all. I suspect it's usual protocol since a POTUS might attract attention away from the deceased. I'm not positive about that theory.

Except the Clintons and the Obamas will both attend the funeral and pay their respects even though they were opposites on the political spectrum.
