When either Bush finally goes, do you think Trump will be welcome at the funeral?
It will be a family decision, and might depend on who is calling the shots. I would say no, especially if Jeb gets a say. Probably no, because they're all upset over the "Low Energy" label.
A more interesting question to me is whether Trump will be welcome at the funeral when GHWB passes, because he's a past President, and his funeral is as much an affair of State as a family matter. Excluding Trump from that would really be an exhibition of pettiness that CNN and MSNBC would love to exploit.
“do you think Trump will be welcome at the funeral?”
Trump? No. Clintons and Obamas — of course.
Unclear, but I think the real question is how quickly it will be after the initial news breaks that CNN decides that this is the real story to cover. If Jake Tapper is in the studio at the time, my guess is about four minutes (including commercial breaks).
Is that a rhetorical question?
I’m rather certain President Trump will NOT be a welcomed guest at GHWB funeral. Barbara’s funeral, maybe yes. But almost no speaking role. I can see Jeb! making very clear statements to affirm that. He may be overruled by his oldest son, Prescott, who hopes to still have a political career in the future.
A hundred and fifty million deplorables wouldn’t be welcomed either.
Then again it’s democrats who think politics is a high school popularity contest ... not a job governing the nation.
I assume you mean GWB and GHWB. I would think those public affairs involving past heads of state, Trump would "have to be invited" and "have to appear." He'd handle it fine. He'd pretty much have to appear, it's more than a family decision.
Trump isn't going to deliberately insert himself privately where he isn't welcome, and he is obviously not in the Bush family orbit.
I don’t think Pres Trump will be invited. He is send VP Pence.
When the President dies, the current President is always the key speaker.
When Babs dies, he will send flowers.
I don’t think Pres Trump will be invited. He will send VP Pence.
Question is, would he want to go? They hate him. He is not a member of the Sculls and Bones as they are, and a ton of other Dimocommies and RINOcommies.
I can't even fathom the pettiness of all the former POTUS's and their families frankly hating our Lion and doing nothing for him the last 451 days, never a word to give this guy a chance like the did Da-One, and no they won't let it go especially with the Clinton Foundation in grand jury mode in AK. Can you imagine how icy cold that will be? My guess is the Bush Clan goes private event to side step all that and to stick it too PDJT, worse it will snub Melania, she deserves none of that with her grace.
