As the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter gets underway, a host of ex-presidents and first ladies were seen exchanging pleasantries before taking their seats. However, one past presidential couple made a conscious effort to avoid any interaction with President-elect Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump.
The video shows Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton entering the cathedral alongside the reverend, being guided to their seats by a guard. They exchange greetings with former Vice President Mike Pence and his wife before settling down next to former President George W. Bush and Barbara Bush without so much as a glance in the Trumps' direction.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump seems completely unaware of this as he chats with former President Barack Obama while Melania sits quietly on her own.
The ex-model stands out in the crowd in her long black peacoat with a strikingly large white collar. Trump has been vocal in his criticism of the Clintons in the past, calling for an investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, her husband, and the Clinton Foundation, accusing them of fraud and collusion.
Melania Trump's outfit at Jimmy Carter's funeral, particularly her oversized white collar, drew attention, with some saying she "looks like a nun." Jimmy Carter's sharp critique on the Colbert show sparked a long-standing feud with Donald Trump, the Irish Star reported.
Former Vice President Pence and his wife, Karen, also seemed to deliberately avoid making eye contact with the Trumps.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama, who has had her share of tension with Melania Trump, was notably missing from the event. Michelle has been candid about her struggles during her time in the White House, crediting her faith and belief in her husband as her sources of strength.
Who cares, the Klintoons are irrelevant now. That’s exactly why they are so butt-hurt, because Trump made them irrelevant.
With any luck, there will be funerals for both of these corrupt, lying scumbags during Trump’s term.
We already know Pence is a coward, so it’s not surprising that he hid from DJT.
Did you see that Melania is a very wide white collar? Author seems pretty psyched about that.
It’s jealousy or ignorance or maybe a combination of the two.

Those are the operative words (I would add envy to the list) that explain so much of what has become Trump Derangement Syndrome, whether it be directed toward President Trump or Melania. It’s snipping by insecure people with little minds and overinflated egos who know they will never be able to operate on the same plain as the Trumps.
“Pretty sure Barbara Bush was not there.”
Barbara Bush, wife of President George H.W. Bush, died in 2018.
Laura Bush, wife of President George W. Bush, attended the event.
We laughed when it was done to Vice President Harris during the swearing in. Big deal on both stories.
Did Obama yuck it up and take selfies with the Dutch president like he did at Nelson Mandela’s funeral?
Michael appeared on the show "Ellen" and said: “What am I supposed to do with this gift? And everyone cleared out and no one would come and take the box. And I’m thinking, Do we take the picture with it?” Michael also told Ellen that normally, for these state visit situations, she explains, there’s a protocol around exactly what happens. In this case, that did not include a presentation of gifts.
Yet on January 20, 2009, when Michael got to the White House with his squeeze Barry, he brought a gift box with him, and gave it to Laura Bush:
What Did Michelle Obama Give Laura Bush? The Inauguration Mystery
First sentence of the article says: "Incoming and outgoing first ladies of the United States often exchange gifts during the inauguration, and many people have wondered, what did Mitchell Obama give Laura Bush?"
Piece of shit tranny lying about something as simple as the standard gift giving that occurs on Inauguration Day, in order to embarrass Melania Trump.
I seem to recall them falling asleep at the 9-11 memorial service held soon after the attack. Am I mistaken?
When did the Obama’s care about “Protocol?”
They gave a blind member of parliament a DVD collection of classic US movies (in US Format, not “PAL” which is the format used in the UK.
They gave the Queen, who is nearly deaf, an MP3 player loaded with Barrack’s speechs.
Michelle Obama greeted the Queen with a slap on the back.
Barack completely screwed up a toast to the Queen and continued speaking over their National Anthem.
“Which makes me wonder where Clinton’s funeral service will be held. I’m hoping it’s at the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor (thanks, Rush!).”
Could they do an outside funeral service at Fort Marcy Park?
Thanks for reminding me of how crass the Obama’s truly are.
I wonder if Mike had to ask Karen’s permission to shake hands with President Trump. She couldn’t even be gracious at a funeral. That shows you what a clueless bitch she is.
I remember that photo. I think I have it saved on an old hard drive, along with a few others.
It is not about being gracious.
It is about being part of a group that was once the administration, invited to be in the enclave of the former presidents and vice presidents
They were elected- in some cases until proven otherwise in court- everyone there requires respect from everyone else ther. They were ELECTED
Any denial of that by anyone there any disrespect of that by any of them is simply disrespect of the constitution
Many people have to serve in the military through administrations they don’t personally like and they are required to show and maintain dignity and respect of the office
Karen pence does a disgrace to herself by acting outside of protocol
Well said...thank you.
