A more interesting question to me is whether Trump will be welcome at the funeral when GHWB passes, because he's a past President, and his funeral is as much an affair of State as a family matter. Excluding Trump from that would really be an exhibition of pettiness that CNN and MSNBC would love to exploit.

Be welcome? Who knows?

But it's a state occasion that a sitting president can't be excluded from.

I'm pretty sure that federal funding is involved: it's not just a family affair.

For Bab's funeral, Mike Pence can go and feel reasonably welcome.

When a former first lady passes, it is tradition for all living first ladies, past and present, to attend the funeral.
