Jake Tapper Notes Biden Decides if Trump is Welcome at Queens Funeral: The Clever Move is to Invite Him

.............In the case of the United States, the White House will decide who is part of the official delegation.
Tapper said:
Theres something that is fascinating me, which is the notion that its going to be basically left up to President Biden as to whether or not he brings other presidents with him to the queens funeral.
I mean, the U.K. has made it very clear, thats up to the president. His is invited and he can bring whatever delegation. So obviously, Obama, you know, Carter, Bush, no-brainers. What about Trump? Will he invite Trump?
.................Zeleny noted former President Barack Obama invited a bipartisan delegation of former presidents to the funeral of Nelson Mandela.
Tapper responded, I think that the clever move is to invite him.
Zeleny replied, And see if he goes?
Tapper concluded, I dont think former President Trump would want to be subordinate on Air Force One, and I think probably he prefers his own plane anyway..................

If Biden wants to be bipartisan, ask the Bushes

It's likely entirely up to the British as to who gets to attend.

And W left Jimmy Carter out of the official US delegation, I was pissed about that. So yes, the current President has a say about the Official US delegation.

(6,039 posts)12. Tapper knows his suggestion is nonsense to court the Trumper audience
Tapper is seeking ratings not justice and not one nation with liberty and justice for all.
The new CNN is not the old CNN and Tapper has made a decision
