Can someone explain this? It is normal to be giving a thumbs up to a departing grieving family?

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump slipped out of the Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday after the casket carrying the remains of the late President George H.W. Bush was carried up the aisle of the grand church.

The first couple, followed by Vice President Mike Pence, followed the Bush family and the casket up the aisle at the conclusion of Bush's state funeral.

But then they left to return to the White House, getting back there before the hearse carrying Bush's remains had left the church grounds

The early exit gave President Trump a way to avoid talking to his predecessors and with Hillary Clinton, his 2016 campaign rival who pointedly ignored him as he and the first lady entered the cathedral for the service.

1. Really, though. Is anything he does normal?

[Eyeball_Kid]

2. Only if he sticks it up his bum. n/t

[Docreed2003]

14. Ding ding...threadwinner!!

[lagomorph777]

29. Too far away for audio, but he probably said "Have fun!"

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. It's his schtick.

It's what he does.

[llmart]

44. That and clapping for himself.

I'm surprised he didn't do that.

[thbobby]

4. trump is a sociopath born with a silver spoon

Unlike other sociopaths (Bundy, Ridgeway, etc) he never had to learn to pretend to have human emotions or compassion.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Very apt discription ot this sorry ass human.

[samnsara]

5. its his pathetic way of acknowledgment..

[guillaumeb]

6. He is showing off his biggest appendage. eom

[lagomorph777]

30. I thought his Tremendous Gut was his biggest appendage.

[guillaumeb]

31. Okay, his second biggest.

With his brain a very close third.

[MoonRiver]

7. Classless and Clueless

[Doreen]

8. How much do you want to bet he will at some point

tell the press that Obama, Michelle, Biden and his wife, and Carter acted inappropriately?

[HipChick]

11. Of course...he'll give some lame rambling interview to the press..

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Expect tweets about how great his pResidency has been up to this point. They're coming, after being

forced to listen to GHWB's presidency being praised. Can't wait.....

[Doreen]

35. Yes, must equate himself with those who actually worked.

[smirkymonkey]

10. What an ignorant asshole!

No situational awareness whatsoever.

[Ohiogal]

12. His supporters love that he thumbs his nose at decent society

and acts like a boor. They think he's a real "maverick" and a "common man" type. Yeesh.

[unc70]

13. Even most deplorables know how to behave at a funeral

[Lars39]

15. Look at Pence!

He and the missus look very unhappy.

[DesertRat]

17. Mother grew her hair out and styled it like Melania

[Lars39]

20. Ewww!

That takes the mind to places it shouldn’t go.

[DesertRat]

16. It's also not normal to stand with crossed arms as everyone else sings/prays

He can't even pretend to be a gracious human being.

[milestogo]

18. Maybe he was clenching a fist to hit someone.

Former president or presidential candidate, perhaps.

[peggysue2]

19. There's nothing normal about the Trumpster

Not the 'thumbs up' at a funeral nor the perpetual scowl and manspreading as if he's perched on the toilet (the throne) or the inability to stand still without rocking or fidgeting like a 3-year old.

None. Of. This. Is. Normal.

And the media pretending that he was under control does not make it so. Anything short of mooning the congregation is considered a reasonable success. It's not; it wasn't.

The man is a walking disaster and until he's gone the country is under a national security threat.

[tavernier]

21. Cringes.

[CentralMass]

22. I think it depends on the individuals znd ther relationship.

I think I would take it as well meanong gesture, if it weren't from a cretin like tRump.

The Bush's have a lot more class and sense of honor then I do. After what tRump said about their father and Jeb and Dubya, I would never have invited him to the funeral. However it was the correct thing to for the office and the country.

[Denzil_DC]

24. It's probably a mercy he didn't do a double fist pump. n/t

[tblue37]

26. As he did in the way to the 9/11 memorial service:

[Denzil_DC]

28. Yup. That's what was on my mind! n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. Fist pump, isn't that what GW did before announcing Shock and Awe? Something about how this feels

good? Monsters=BFEE.

[Achilleaze]

25. The republican misleader is a real clueless a-hole

Shameful, deplorable behavior.

[JDC]

27. Probably said, "Have a good time everybody" on their way out

He is garbage

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. He has no human emotions. That is why so many repubs love him, neither do they.

[virgogal]

34. It's better than taking a selfie.

[obamanut2012]

36. I had fantasties of Barbara Bush, Jr. kneecapping him

She is a good liberal, and hates Individual 1.

[Cousin Dupree]

37. No manners. No social skills. No kindness in his cold heart. A poor excuse for a human being

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Dumber than a fucking rock

[malaise]

39. Uncouth does not describe these low life morons

They have no fucking class, no sense of decorum, no understanding of protocol.

[Demonaut]

40. it means "think positive" but still very inappropriate.

[displacedtexan]

41. He left the service books there like they're so much garbage.

And he has no clue that no one will ever mourn him.

[Cha]

42. Traitortrump's thumb

is stuck in that position.

[demtenjeep]

43. I WOULD LOVE FOR SOMEONE TO BREAK THAT IDIOTIC THUMB

IT IS SO FUCKING STUPID
