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.
ROFL!! Good one.
Pretty sure Barbara Bush was not there.
She’s dead.
Pretty sure Barbara Bush was not there.
Barbara Bush passed away on April 17, 2018, at the age of 92 in Houston, Texas, after declining further medical treatment due to her failing health. She was the matriarch of a prominent political family, being the wife of George H.W. Bush and the mother of George W. Bush.
She’s dead.
As usual....drunk
Neither incident happened as reported. The Senator’s husband’s hands were reportedly encumbered.
I’m in the process of watching the funeral now, Pence stood up, exchanged a few words with Pres. Trump and shook both his and Melania’s hand. Karen Pence did not seem to get involved in the greetings but was seated & hidden behind the standing DJT at that point. I did see her shoot a snotty look at Melania later, but it’s possibly just typical “plain” woman jealousy.
The Bushes and Clinton’s both were directed to walk across/around the empty front row and slide into their seats in the second. It wasn’t really a situation where they would greet others already seated without awkward reaching — the Clintons were 4 and 5 seats away.
I was not surprised at the camaraderie between Trump & Obama (both are likely excellent “schmoozers”) but was mildly surprised at how attentive Hillary seemed towards Bill Clinton (and yes, his hands were shaking pretty badly at one point).
Biden looked like a corpse. Kamala looked pissed (possibly in both the American & British meanings). Emhoff is a total Beta.
I heard that Melania extended her hand to Mother Pence but MP refused to shake Melania’s hand. I’ll have to check out some videos later.
You missed it:
The LOSERS are BOTH smiling (uncomfortably)
;-)
Gag me with a freakin' spoon.
It doesn’t look like Melanie tried to shake her hand- yet Pence’s wife has a “i’m above it all look” and would not make eye contact with them

Petty behavior from petty small-minded people.
It would have been miraculous as she is deceased. Laura Bush OTOH is alive and well.
Her Heinous doesn't look too good.
And is the Horny Hick from Hope asleep?
Laura Bush OTOH is alive and well.
Unlike the person she killed when she ran that stop sign.
Any ‘snubs’ from leftist creepozoids are resumeʼ enhancements in my book.
I thought that was Pelosi.
Who’s da bag behind Bill?
She heard refreshments after the service was an open bar

The Devils Spawn was seated on the other end !
