Trump Will Attend Funeral of President George H. W. Bush

President Donald Trump and wife Melania will attend the funeral of former President George H. W. Bush at the National Cathedral in Washington, the White House said in a statement.

“The President will designate Wednesday, December 5th as a National Day Of Mourning. He and the First Lady will attend the funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

Trump and the Bush family, have had a thorny relationship, including Trump’s treatment of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush -- once seen as a natural front-runner for the Republican nomination -- during the 2016 primaries. Trump repeatedly dismissed his competitor as “low energy,” and Bush was one of the first to drop out of the primary race.

Bush, the longest-living president in U.S. history, died at his home in Houston late Friday night, aged 94. In his one term in the White House he fashioned a restrained response to the Soviet Union’s collapse and assembled the multinational coalition that liberated Kuwait from an Iraqi invasion.

3. The interaction on the front row at the funeral- or more to the point, the lack thereof...

4. It Will Be a Tremendous Campaign Rally Appearance.

Guests are asked to wear their MAGA hats and bring their favorite Trump signs to honor the office of President. President Donald J. Trump will be the keynote speaker. Former Presidents will be allowed 3 minutes each to say a few words, in the spirit of: "Let the Losers Have Their Say, Too."

Sacred music will include popular favorites from Donald Trump rallies, including "Sympathy for the Devil," and other music personally selected by the President of the United States to honor a former President.
