When President Donald Trump didn’t attend Barbara Bush’s funeral earlier this year, it stoked chatter about a rivalry between the two powerful families who have a history of sniping at each other.
The former first lady criticized Trump during the 2016 campaign for saying “terrible things” about women and the military, and was long displeased with Trump’s insults toward her husband and sons.
But many of the family’s confidants said Saturday former President George H.W. Bush wished to put that all aside when it came to Trump attending his funeral.
“If anybody at anytime knew anything about the 41st president of the United States, they would completely and totally understand that he would welcome the current occupant 100 percent,” said an aide in the office of the former president. “This is the way the country says goodbye to presidents.”
Trump said Saturday in Argentina that he spoke with former President George W. Bush and Jeb Bush this morning to offer condolences. He also said the late president Bush was a "wonderful" and "very fine man." He and first lady Melania Trump will attend Bush’s funeral at the National Cathedral, the White House said....

Can jeb make it or does he have lots of other cool things he could be doing.
Why
It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Watchibg libturds like Politico canonizing a Republican they hated in one full step just because he attacked President Trump.
I just hope the libturds there do not use this as opportunity to insult our President as fatgirl McCain insulted Trump when Ivanka had the decency to attend
Juan McCain’s disposal service.
Absolutely. The late President Bush knew and the current President Trump knows this is the right way to handle it.
Yeah I agree. But just as that fat, classless slob Meghan McCain looked like an even bigger @$$ than the one she is
caboosing by insulting Ivanka, the same will happen to any Bushbot who tries in insult Trump.
And probably more brains than Jebber and
and Dubya put together - for what that’s worth.
Trump has more REAL class than all the AFFECTED class of all the RINOs put together.

Bush is far more likely telling the cameras to cut away from him in his wheelchair. Barbara looks as though she’s waving away someone or their camera who is in a different direction.
41 knew protocol and good manners
Something lost on the Queen clan....
McCain eschewed an apologized for and was ashamed of his Mississippi aristocratic roots
And it showed didn’t it?
I wish he wouldn’t attend. It makes me nervous for him sitting among all those deep state turds.
“This shows some class on Biushes’ part”
Brahhhaaahaaahaaahhhaaaaaaa......those people have NO CLASS. Thanks for the laugh though.
Man, are you ever correct. It has been impossible to even turn on any version of news over the weekend.
I couldn't stand the goop from FOX, nor the slander from the left...unwatchable, all of it.
It was a good weekend for old movies.
Agree. The only post worth reading about GHW Bush's death is the one by Kurt Schlichter: The Only Good Republican Is A Dead Republican
Wow, thanks for posting Trump’s comments on “Kinder and Gentler”.
I’m glad Bush 41 wants Trump to be at his funeral. As much as he disappointed me as president, he was better than any of the other living ex presidents...
Rescheduling Huber testimony to....?
Bump for that. Definitely worth having on hand for the next few days, as the MSM eulogies push the “GHWB was good, Orange Man Bad” party line.
“This shows some class on Biushes’ part”
But it is class to try to destroy America for twelve years.
I can ignore this without effort. We’ll see how this plays out but I expect the democrats, the press, and even some of the family might parade the corpse for political points. Hope I’m wrong.
At the least, the never Trumpers are using it as an excuse to do nothing more to confirm judges or pass any measures to help the Trump agenda during the lame duck session.
The douchebags can’t wait to go all bipartisan with the fascist democrats to destroy Trump and the agenda we elected him to carry out.
