Trump won't like a presidential funeral taking the spotlight away.

[Demovictory9]

Just like with McCain he will complain that too much is being done to honor GHWB

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Will he leave the WH flag at full staff like he did to insult McCain?

[Demovictory9]

3. he will misbehave in many ways

[TheBlackAdder]

21. Whatever will get him the most negative attention wins. He acts like a neglected 13-year-old.

.

The fucker gets the most attention in the world, and still demands more.

2. HW is included in CTs claiming T. Cruz's dad was involved with JFK assassination. nt

[msongs]

4. mebe he will be grateful for not being top story a few days lol nt

[Demovictory9]

5. nope. he's a bottomless pit for attention

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. There will be the inevitable comparisons...

and they won't be favorable to Trump. Whatever you might think of GHWB as a president, at least he behaved himself in public and didn't behave like a narcissistic dick. People will be talking about how he was polite and civil and thoughtful toward others, with the implication that Trump is none of those things. And his press conference tomorrow will be overshadowed by all the retrospectives. Yes, the GHWB hagiographies will be annoying but I'd rather hear those than the demented rantings of the knucklehead who currently occupies the WH.

7. It will be a state funeral

And the sitting president would typically eulogize him. But the Bush family won’t want that. What will they do?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I shudder to think what Trump would say if left to his own devices.

But somehow he'd manage to make it all about himself. Even the eulogy he gave at his own father's funeral was mainly a recitation of his own successes:

He began by saying it was the toughest day of his own life. It was ironic, he said, that he’d learned of his father’s death right after reading a front-page story in the New York Times about the success of one of his own developments, Trump Place. He then enumerated all his other projects and said his father supported each one, and he finished by noting that on everything he’d ever done, Fred had known he would be able to pull it off.

I hope they don't let him speak.

10. Omg what a narcissistic eulogy

The Bush family requested that he stay away from Barbara’s funeral. They face a dilemma here.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. teleprompter trump is barely better than improvisational trump

Whether he follows the script or not, he's a narcissistic pile of cat shit.

He will dishonor country, former President GHW Bush, and all of us.

[HipChick]

8. He needs to fucking grow up...

[liberaltrucker]

16. Dream on

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Too late.

[Codeine]

11. It'll take Cohen and Mueller out of the headlines

for a few days, so he’s probably thrilled.

[Kaleva]

14. It's knocked Trump's new NAFTA deal right off the pages.

[SoCalDem]

13. This is a GIFT to him

For at least a week, the spotlight will NOT be on him..

The tweet he sent (his staffer) , was dainty, reverential and normal.. NOT Trumpian at all..

My guess is that he does go to the funeral..sits quietly and says nothing..

[greyl]

15. At first glance yeah, but think about the unexpected changes to his schedule.

The demands will be decidedly inconvenient for Donald, and anything he does in public will be under even more scrutiny, and he will not be able to live up to the challenge at all.

[SoCalDem]

17. and we can pray for RAIN

[Demovictory9]

20. lol

[MiniMe]

19. I think he will be relieved that the focus is elsewhere right now
