5. He'll be invited to the high-profile public ceremony because the Bush's have too much decorum

and respect for US traditions to 'dis-invite' him.

So, yeah ... he'll be invited.

But I'd bet that word will come out that he would ONLY agree to attend and NOT speak ... if Obama also wasn't allowed to speak.

I think Trump will acquiesce to showing up if no more recent Democratic political figure than Bill Clinton is allowed to speak.

If the Bush's want to allow Obama to speak, and not Trump, he'll pitch a hissy fit, whine about the 'Deep State' to everyone who'll listen, etc. Which the Bush family will be sensitive to.

So, my bet is ... he's invited, he's there, and no more recent Dem political figure than Big Dog will speak. It'll be speeches from W, Jeb, Laura, Marvin, and maybe Quayle ... and then a speech from Clinton, and that's it.
