By DAVID BADASHDECEMBER 5, 201811:14 AM
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.

OP
The dotard should have been left in the nursery so the grown-ups could mourn in peace. (n/t)

It seems incredibly insensitive to me to make Hillary sit that close to him let alone the Obamas. Drumpf should have been sat elsewhere.

Just wondering if maybe Trump should've left his coat in his limo instead of handing it to the person who escorted them to their seats?
