Chris Wallace: A ‘Chill’ Struck the Front Row When Trump Encountered the Obamas, Clintons at Bush Funeral

Fox News’ Chris Wallace noticed that things got really tense at George H.W. Bush‘s funeral when Donald Trump and Melania Trump took their seats next to the Obamas and the Clintons.

The president and the first lady sat next to their predecessors in the front row of the National Cathedral today, and there was a tangible awkwardness in that moments. The Trumps and the Clintons seemed to prefer barely acknowledging each other, and greetings with the Obamas didn’t seem particularly enthusiastic either — though they did shake hands.

Wallace, speaking with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum at the end of the service, remarked that a lot of bitterness clearly remains between Trump and his fellow presidents.

“I was struck when President Trump and Melania Trump came to the front row, that it was as if a chill had descended on that front row,” Wallace said. “When Donald Trump sat down, the greeting that he was given by Barack Obama and Michelle Obama was about as cool as it could have been. It seemed like they exchanged ‘hello, good morning.’ That was it. At that point they all stopped talking to each other.”

The Fox News Sunday anchor went on to say that these hostilities are the root of why Trump isn’t really part of the “Presidents’ Club” with the other Commanders-in-Chief.

[Achilleaze]

1. The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief makes the scene

[malaise]

2. From most of the reports,

you'd never know President Carter and his wife were also in the front pew.
I find that so disrespectful.

[pangaia]

7. This might sound weird, malaise, but..

I don't mind one bit.

Those 2 are just so modest, lacking in personal ego, I'm happy for them..
Just hangin' in the background, as they always have....

But I know what you mean.

[malaise]

8. I know they don't give rat's ass

but I do

[pangaia]

11. HA HA! You are right....Yeah, actually me too.

I wish them well...

[Brother Buzz]

14. To his credit, Jimmy Carter did lay some stink eye on the orange anus

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. she touched the birther bastard

Hope someone provided her with an antibiotic hand wipe.

[Sugar Smack]

50. She was really smooth about it, too.

In the video of the handshake, Michelle Obama pulls her hand away and then tugs a little on her jacket with the same hand. Doubtless he makes her skin crawl and she wiped off his clammy handshake as she did this. Before that, she'd had her fingers knotted together on her lap. As unapproachable as she could be to trump.

[2naSalit]

18. Hillary looks like she's

trying not to puke while Darthcheney, behind her is embarrassed after watching shitforbrainz hand his coat to the usher like he was the coatboy, what a feckless fucker. I hope everyone gets to stand in line to slap his face on his way out of office.

[lunasun]

28. No he did not! Did he?

[2naSalit]

31. He sure as hell did too!

I'll have to find a video of that horrid moment.

[lunasun]

34. I should have known you were not kidding . SMH

[2naSalit]

36. Here it is...

Sad. Even darth was disgusted, and that's really low.

[Bob Loblaw]

45. Cheney just looks like he hasn't had his second

puppy of the morning.

[The Mouth]

46. You owe me

a new keyboard...

[The Genealogist]

39. It looks like Hillary has on her "Lord, grant me the strength" look in that picture

[2naSalit]

40. Yeah, at least she does have the strength.

[The Genealogist]

42. True that.

Two years after he "won," she still has to put up with his BS on a nearly constant basis. Takes real fortitude to put up with that while maintaining a calm demeanor like she does.

[sarge43]

44. He's a military aide to the president, gold aiguillette right shoulder

That's part of the duty, public body man.

Yeah, Moron should have removed his overcoat before he came in.

[2naSalit]

47. The optics were not in his favor.

But he demands the attention and service to show he's the big guy. Thug.

Thanks for the clarification, Sarge43!

[sarge43]

48. Happy to help, 2nSalit

Yeah, just throwing his considerable weight around or dick waving

Fetching and carrying for Moron qualifies as shit duty..

The Obamas on the other must have been pleasant. They say please and thank you.

[2naSalit]

51. INdeed.

I was a military child and have worn uniforms in civil service myself, there is no respect in that individual, not even for himself.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

52. Michelle's "mother became a beloved figure in the White House"

I saw a video of the interview, which was heartwarming, but can't find it.

Here's an article:

"I was worried about their safety," Shields Robinson said. "I was worried about my grandkids."

That worry inspired her to move to Washington, D.C., where Obama said her mother became a beloved figure in the White House. But that doesn't mean the move was easy at first.

"It was a huge adjustment. As a matter of fact, I had talked [the White House staff] into allowing me to do my own laundry," Shields Robinson said.

"She taught the girls how to do their laundry. They would go upstairs for laundry lessons," Obama said. "They learned how to use the machine."

[Mr. Ected]

3. For one, he challenged his American birthright

For the other, he demanded her incarceration.

And Wallace wonders why he would receive a chilly reception?

The ice maker is Trump, not the parties he personally affronted.

[pangaia]

4. "Trump isn't really part of the "Presidents' Club" with the other Commanders-in-Chief. ...because...

he is an ignorant, spiteful, hate-filled, lying, destructive, emotionally stunted and mentally deranged asshole.

That's why.

[Atticus]

20. That club is only open to LEGITIMATE presidents. nt

[peggysue2]

24. Bingo!

The President's Club is small, exclusive. The Squatter-in-Chief does not qualify. Never will.

[2naSalit]

21. And illegitimate...nt

[MontanaMama]

5. The Fraud isn't part of the President's Club

because he isn't a real president. He wasn't fairly elected, he hasn't learned and doesn't want to learn the job, he has disdain for all those who came before him, he has no respect for the institutions that have been built on the backs of generations of Americans and that's just the tip of the ice berg. Who in their right mind would want to be in a club with that asshole?

[virgogal]

12. He was fairly elected by the system that we now have.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. only if you ignore the laws we now have

See Mueller. See, in general, news since 2015.

[MontanaMama]

25. The claim that we had

a free and fair election is up for debate.

[Squinch]

30. Nah.

[Ponietz]

35. Yeah, if you ignore everything we've learned in the last two years NT

[Siwsan]

6. Had I done the seating arrangements, the trump* duo would have been seated in the 'cry room'

That way their almost non stop sulk would have been out of sight, out of mind, and out of camera rang.

[dalton99a]

10. +1

[Cha]

22. ..

Link to tweet

[Siwsan]

23. Perfect!

[peggysue2]

27. Hahahaha!

Made me laugh, Cha. Maybe that's why the Trumpster scowled.

He was only given 3 blocks. LOL.

[Cha]

29. Traitortrump needs

his pacifier stat! And, from his face it looks like his diaper needs attention, too.. Melania!

[dembotoz]

9. a disturbance in the force

[Denzil_DC]

13. "a lot of bitterness clearly remains" - "remains!?!"

Does Wallace not do Twitter?



Just wait for the post-funeral Twitstorm.

[livetohike]

15. Poor Donald doesn't belong anywhere. He's not wanted

and is the least respected person to hold the office. Good.

[FakeNoose]

17. Other than Dubya, they're all Democrats

The former Presidents are all gracious and statesmanlike, so of course they know how to behave at a solemn funeral. Only Cheeto doesn't fit - no grace, no statesmanship, no solemnity.

I give Dubya credit, he's handling this well, but I'll never like the guy.

[lpbk2713]

26. I'd head for the bathroom and wash my hands.

Or bring some sanitizer with me. No telling where that hand has been.

[Kaleva]

32. glad to see Fox talking about how Trump is an outcast.

[John Fante]

33. NBC tried to give Trump props for not taking a dump on

the casket, SMFH. MSM still lowers the bar for this circus clown. Twitter BRUTALIZED them. 😂

Toned-down President Trump? Eat my shit.

37. A documentary I saw on Trump - someone who knew him said Trump never had friends.

Hence, the women. He was a very rich young man who didn't do well in friendships, and was always suspicious that someone wanted to be friendly because he was so rich. He was a ladies man from his teen years onward.

I don't know if that's true. But that's what he said.

The first person you might call a friend of Trump's was his mentor, Roy Cohn. A ruthless thug and attorney suppoedly connected to the mob, who trained Trump in the ways of protecting his brand, going after the jugular no matter how small the offense (in order to get the mob reputation of being someone to be afraid of and to set an example). Cohn was also the ugly little squirrel sitting next to McCarthy at the McCarthy hearings.

Cohn was dedicated to Trump, and would cross the room at a party in a flash if he saw Trump walk into the room. A young Roger Stone soon entered the picture, and all became collaborators in questionable practices. (Cohn was as crooked as they come.) That federal bench that Trump's sister judge got? Cohn got it for her.

But, Trump didn't have real friends. What Trump did not know about Cohn was that Cohn was gay. Trump found that out, when it became public near the end of Cohn's life that he was dying of AIDS. Trump never spoke to Cohn again, supposedly. Never went to see him while he was dying, even.

Near the end, what Cohn said of his longtime "friend" Trump was: “Donald pisses ice water.”

[Roadside Attraction]

38. Trump should be glad . . . .

Hillary or Barack or Michelle didn't knock his lard ass to the floor and kick the shit out of him.

[ffr]

41. You mean when Individual #1 sat down with his wife on the front row?

Yeah, I could see having a known Russian Asset who is the acting POTUS and has access to all of the intelligence that you'd expect of that position and then having that person sitting so close to patriots of the United States who have defended the constitution from all enemies. Well, I'd put a chill in my posture as well.

[enki23]

43. For a couple years now, for most of us.

Tired of always having so many undeniable reasons to be outraged.
