So, yeah ... he'll be invited.
But I'd bet that word will come out that he would ONLY agree to attend and NOT speak ... if Obama also wasn't allowed to speak.
I think Trump will acquiesce to showing up if no more recent Democratic political figure than Bill Clinton is allowed to speak.
If the Bush's want to allow Obama to speak, and not Trump, he'll pitch a hissy fit, whine about the 'Deep State' to everyone who'll listen, etc. Which the Bush family will be sensitive to.
So, my bet is ... he's invited, he's there, and no more recent Dem political figure than Big Dog will speak. It'll be speeches from W, Jeb, Laura, Marvin, and maybe Quayle ... and then a speech from Clinton, and that's it.

GHWB called Trump a blowhard, and spoke up against the divisiveness and bigotry.

(33,643 posts)Unless, like I say, the Bush family invites Obama (or Hillary) to deliver an address, but doesn't invite Trump to do so, in which case he'll pitch a hissy fit, whine about how GHWB was 'CIA Deep State' in some idiotic/inappropriate Faux interview, in which he'll also say he's decided to not attend, etc.

There will be some excuse.
