CNN’s Douglas Brinkley: ‘Nobody’ Wants to See Trump at Bush 41 Funeral
Breitbart ^ | 4 Dec 2018 | Tony Lee

Posted on 12/04/2018 1:57:34 PM PST by detective

CNN’s presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said on Monday evening that nobody attending President George H.W. Bush’s funeral on Wednesday wants to see President Donald Trump.

“Well, I think George Herbert Walker Bush was right. He planned his funeral memorial service right to have President Trump attend,” Brinkley told host Don Lemon. “But let’s be honest. There’s nobody that wants to see President Trump at this memorial service that is going to be there.”

Trump will not speak at the funeral but will reportedly meet privately with the family.

Brinkley mentioned that Trump has been “no friend” of the Bush family since the 1980s.

Brinkley mentioned that Trump has been “no friend” of the Bush family since the 1980s...as though the likes of Brinkley and his leftwing thug friends ever were friends of the Bushes - the fulsome fawning over HW at his death from these people is sickening - no one's talking about how they roasted him for - horrors - not knowing what the price of a quart of milk was when he went shopping, or for glancing at his watch during some half-witted "debate" when, as president, he doubtless had a dozen other more important things to be doing - at least Trump is perfectly honest in saying what he actually thinks and feels about others - at the time he makes the statements anyway......

PAULINE KAEL Any Leftist: ""I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon Trump. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater at a funeral I can feel them."

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Leftists feel like they speak for everyone.

The Bush family has been no friend to the American people.

I was among the low 20% that still approved of W when he left office.

He has been a huge disappointment.

The whole Bush family is gleeful around the biggest crooks ever to hold office, Bill and Hillary, and the biggest America haters to hold office, the Obamas. Yet they detest Trump. And they detest all of us.

Sh*tty things being said on a sh*tty show on a sh*tty network.

Don Lemon—King of the Vaseline Jar—has a show filled with lies and seething hatred. His hatred oozes from every nasty bitter pore.

If Obama was president right now, this dildo “historian” would be saying that everyone needs to “respect the office of the president” and party like it’s 1999 with Obama at the funeral. I’m tired of the sh*t these phonies are always spreading.

Actually I don’t want to see any of it myself or gear from his moronic sons.

I might tune in to watch if the mob of newspaper journalists get into a fight, or run over by a vehicle or something else edifying.

Now I want to see him show up just to make all the usual suspects flip out and lose it live on-air.

The Bush family has been no friend to America.

We did not want our country turned into North Mexico.

Democrat hagiographer Brinkley shows what a slime ball he is. Not for the first time.

And they would have said that Trump insulted President Bush’s memory.
