Why, YES...Trump DID scowl his way through the GHWB funeral...last to arrive, ignored Clintons



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/trump-attends-bush-funeral-arrives-last-ignores-clintons/

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived minutes ago at the State Funeral for President George H.W. Bush. The couple arrived at the last minute, and walked to the front aisle to sit next to former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clinton, and former President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.

First Lady Melania Trump greeted the Obamas and waved to the Clintons. She offered and shook hands with both Obamas and Bill Clinton.

President Trump appeared agitated. He greeted the Obamas, who cordially shook his hand. But he ignored the Clintons entirely, as Bill Clinton smiled and looked his way. The Carters appeared to be too far away to greet.

President Trump has not talked to Barack and Michelle Obama or Bill and Hillary Clinton since his 2017 inauguration.

The Obamas greeted Trump when he just took his seat in the National Cathedral. The Clintons - who were sitting on the other side of the Obamas - did not.

he give zero fucks about anyone else but himself.

I'm sure if there is a hot mic he would utter the same statement he said at the G-20 "get me out of here"

he is a psychopath. psychopaths lack empathy.

the definition of a monster is, as quoted by a psychologist at Nuremberg trials said; a person who lacks empathy.

New money Trump, has no class, they were not taught common manners. Old money had been taught they were blessed. Now I know people will take issue with this, but it is true. Trump was never taught how to be "gentile" his father taught him to be a jerk.
