What about Trump going? Does that blanket statement apply to him?
He was invited
Absolutely. My guess is he asked if he could come. Also, the Secret Service would need to send an advance team and they’d have found out any negatives. I suspect Trump is a very polite man and would not show up at a family event without asking.
A man like Trump can’t just go somewhere without planning because of security.

I’m sure he was in communication prior. He paid their mortgage off. They apparently wanted him there. He didn’t grandstand.
The family was happy to have Trump attend the wake.
