With 45 former presidents, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

[MissMillie]

You had to know sooner or later that one of them would be a big enough of a jerk that no one wants to be around them.

Small wonder TFG isn't going to the funeral.

Seriously, does anybody doubt that he'd try to make the event about himself?

[dchill]

1. He literally can't cope with a situation that's not about him.

[Irish_Dem]

2. He is a huge security risk.

Probably endangered M16 networks.

[FakeNoose]

3. Remember when Chump was not invited to Harry and Meghan's wedding?

That was in 2018 when he was still POTUS, and it was sort of insulting. But they really didn't want him then, and they don't want him now for Elizabeth's funeral. Can anyone blame them?

4. I think he said it best.

H. L. Mencken 1920

“The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

[MissMillie]

6. That's an awesome quote. thanks for sharing (n/t)

[Stardust]

8. Great quote! And today would be Mencken's birthday. Nt.

11. I thought he was talking about Reagan when I first read that.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. Can you imagine that fucking lout at the funeral?

Haven’t we suffered enough national embarrassment from that cretin?

[BigmanPigman]

7. I wouldn't put it past him to stage his own death

so he can see the fanfare, etc after his death. I really wouldn't be surprised if he actually did this. Even though he will be seen as the scum of the earth by most Americans when he drops dead he will never see that perspective. When people are dancing in the streets his narcissistic, sociopathic pea brain will convince himself that they are his fans mourning his loss.

9. 44 Grover Cleveland

is two of them.

[Mike Nelson]

12. Agree...

... he didn't change his name... we shouldn't have changed his number.

[milestogo]

10. I don't think that is the reason.

They are limiting the number of dignitaries.

[Mike Nelson]

13. Well...

... it's timing. If she'd have died earlier, the Trumps would have been invited. The Royal Family is all about protocol... however, given that he's not the current President, an omission is wonderfully deliberate!

[3catwoman3]

14. "Seriously, does anybody doubt that he'd try to make the event about himself?"

No doubt at all.

He'd have found some way to blather on about how the US should have followed the British model and made him president for life.

[Initech]

15. "Sorry about the queen being dead and all, remember how great my economy was??"

I could totally picture him saying that!

[musclecar6]

16. You Know

The brits came out with only current presidents of country's would be invited, as cover for you know Queen Elizabeth and other royals did not want our Orange national disgrace at her funeral. Good for her. No decent person would.
