Trump is acting sort of like a normal Pesident in making nice w/the Bush family.

[Honeycombe8]

I think he sees it's in HIS best interests.

He needs to make nicey nicey, after attacking their family and calling them names for years, because he sees the end of the road of the Presidency, and yikes, he will be a member of a very small group of VIPs....former Presidents. As it stood, none of them would accept him, and possibly only Jimmy Carter would have spoken to him.

He needs and wants to make nicey nicey, because G W helped him get Kavanaugh seated on the bench.

He needs to make nicey nicey, because he sees the end of his Presidency and the vulgar legacy he will leave behind, where he insulted and regaled against military heroes, prior Presidents from his own party, and just about everyone else whose legacy threatened to top his.

He needs to make nicey nicey, because he doesn't want to be excluded from another funeral of another VIP.

He needs to make nicey nicey, because he doesn't need another negative scandal, when he's buried in scandals already.

The Bushes didn't endorse Trump for President. In fact, it's reported that Papa Bush voted for Clinton. George W and Laura voted for neither Clinton nor Trump. Trump has attacked the Bushes for anything and everything, and of course, Jeb Bush personally. Maybe one day will pass by without a disgusting, negative statement or tweet by Trump. Maybe.

1. trump is incapable of 'nice'. he sees the Bush death as a way to escape the media for a few days.

nothing more.

2. Well hope Springs eternal, doesn't it?

I really don't care what he does. He can no longer surprise me with his stupidity, vulgarity, and venality. I have low expectations for any of his performances, anywhere, any time. So no stupid selfish tweets for a day or two would be a pleasant surprise.

6. 'he can no longer surprise me...'

You're an insane person lol..that's the political equalivalant of testing Rule 34!!!

3. Yes, Trump is clearly "acting". n/t

[MiniMe]

4. Of course, he gets the details wrong

That may not be him, I'm sure it was the staff or SHS who wrote the twitter statement on HWB. He joined the Navy and Then he went to Yale.

5. He is capable of acting in his own self interest. Even being a sociopath doesn't rule that out.

[Honeycombe8]

7. Yep. That's what sociopaths do. Act in their own self-interest. nt

8. Somebody pls tell me the Idiot wasnt given eulogy duties

Im sure 41 would roll over in his grave if he did.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Oh, that hadn't occurred to me. I hope not! Barf. nt

9. He has normal responses from time to time, but my money is on a total reversion back to his

repulsive, childish, self-centered personality within a couple of days. He'll be calling 41 a fake war hero or something before the week is over.

10. He's not fooling anyone.

They know what he is.

[Honeycombe8]

11. He's totally self-serving in whatever he says or does. No, he's not fooling anyone. nt
