well thats fine--WE don't want him there. The Bush, Clinton, and Obama families have American blood on their hands. They do NOT deserve to be revered for ANYTHING. The fact that they are top political figures does not mean they are devine royalty.
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 !
Trump once again shows why he is mentally and morally unfit for office. He has no sense of the norms of the presidency. Trumpists laud his brutish behavior, but what he really is, in failing to attend Barbara Bush's funeral, is a coward. A fearful little man who quivers at the thought of being with former presidents who are far greater than he will ever be.
Did you think that Obama was mentally and morally unfit when he did not attend the funerals of Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan & Supreme Court Justice Scalia???
Presidents rarely attend the funerals of former Forst Ladies - the last President to do so was John F Kennedy.
The Trump Hate is off the Wall.
Bentlebee, it’s possible to respectfully disagree with someone’s policies while you like them as a person. Also, it’s possible for relationships to evolve. Adults are familiar with this concept.
Or, everyone was mud slinging for political expediency.
It is true Obama did not go to Nancy Reagan's funeral.
As pointed out it isn't protocol for a sitting President to attend the funeral of a past First Lady.
BUT -- Obama had prior formal engagements made. He didn't go golfing the day of the funeral.
Trump is vacationing at Mar A Lago -- and is he golfing today?
I think that's what folks are riled up about.
But it isn't necessary for him to go and I don't think he should have.
You are correct, Obama did not play golf - he went to an Austin TX Music Festval & a Fund Raiser.
We have no clue about what President Trump does at Mara Lago - last week he had meetings with Prime Minister Abe there. The press is not allowed on the grounds except by invitation.
