Former first lady Laura Bush on Tuesday afternoon thanked current first lady Melania Trump for a "sweet visit" to the White House.

(Melania) Trump led 20 members of the Bush family on a tour through the White House on Tuesday, a White House source told CNN. She reportedly gave them holiday cookies and arranged for them to meet with residence staff members. Trump reportedly did not stay with the Bush family during their entire hour-long visit to the building.

"A sweet visit during this somber week," the former first lady captioned in the Instagram post. "Thanks to Mrs. Trump for inviting our family to the White House to see the Christmas decorations and our old friends, the residence staff."

Trump and the president are scheduled to attend the funeral, which will take place at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Members of the Bush family promised President Trump that speeches and eulogies at the late Bush's funeral would avoid criticizing him, sources familiar with the funeral preparations said.

This will be news because it wasn't the customary colossal clusterfuck we've come to expect from the Trumps.

3. Why did they need a tour?

Weren't they there during his 8 years?

8. To experience and share sentimental memories

What's wrong with that? And to share greetings with WH staff, who served them. It's the gracious thing to do.
