Will the tRumps go to Barbara's funeral?

Last edited Tue Apr 17, 2018, 07:40 PM - Edit history (1)

That's about my only interest in this thing. The Bush family hates 45, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of representation there is from the WH at Barbara's funeral.

I would assume the Clintons and probably the Obamas will be there. I'm not sure about the Carters as they are also in their early 90's.

33. I'll give Babs this,

she apparently taught her kids some manners. If you compare the way W behaved with the Obamas when they arrived at the White House the day of the first Obama inauguration to how Bonespurs behaved on his "big" day, it's obvious who was taught some social graces - and it is usually the mom who does that.

Seeing remaining presidents standing together at such times has being reassuring up to now, IMO.

37. He's gone out of his way to ridicule and distinguish himself from all past presidents.

Leaving him out will send a huge message to him - from all of America.

All past living presidents generally come together for this sort of event.

Trump won't do that.

I predict they will try to send the Pences.
