If he goes, I hope he has protection, in case some crazed leftist is there too.

That’s very touching. I think I know what will happen on this. Mr. Trump will attend the funeral, or at least some of it, but it will be very low key. There probably won’t even be any public photographs of him with that family.

I would be very surprised if he had any speaking role in the service, although many will beg him to do so. I think Trump will keep it low key so that it won’t look as though he is using that grieving family and that tragic funeral as his most recent Soap Box to give a speech and to be seen.

It might be best if he just didn’t go. Have the Mother at one or more of his rallies instead.

Funerals are funny things. People go there with their own ideas of what was special about the deceased. Meaning, it’s possible that not all of Shana’s family members are Trump supporters. In fact, it’s very possible, as he was always seen as a controversial president to those who get all their news from main stream media.

I imagine that Mamma Chappell rules her family. The media might dig up some outlaying family that might disagree but I say Mamma rules with and iron hand.

“She appeared to wrongly claim that Trump was the actual winner of the 2020 election.”

They just can’t help themselves. 😣

Yup. He should NOT attend the funeral. He should go and meet with the parents in private at a hotel. He should listen, and console, and explain if he comes, his presence will detract from the ceremony for the slain honored son. Give them as much time in private as they wish to consume, then invite the family back after. He should say nothing to the eneMedia except for his sorrow for the hero son. Nothing.

OK. But that doesn’t answer my question of why you would post a non-sequituir gif.

I took it to mean that if Biden attends, that would be the welcome response from a widow or loved one of the fallen Marine.

Justifiably so.
