“President Donald Trump will not speak at the funeral, sources with knowledge of the plans tell CNN, but has said that he will attend Wednesday's memorial.”
Collective sighs of relief........heard far and wide!
It is reported that Bush wanted Trump there, he was by no means a great President but he was right here.
Bush was a pretty good President. I especially want to give GHWB credit for being one guy that will get Trump to sit down and shut up.
Thank you, George Bush, for one last act of service to your country. RIP.
It is not about Trump, it is about this nation ripping ourselves apart.
Bush did not want to be a part of that I gather from the reporting.
Making it clear he wanted Trump there was decency.
We never saw that from McCain.
From Politico:
...many of the family’s confidants said Saturday former President George H.W. Bush wished to put that all aside when it came to Trump attending his funeral.
“If anybody at anytime knew anything about the 41st president of the United States, they would completely and totally understand that he would welcome the current occupant 100 percent,” said an aide in the office of the former president. “This is the way the country says goodbye to presidents.” https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/01/bush-family-trump-funeral-1037144

Fake Trump supporter talking about decency.
Yep, it’s Monday alright.
Upgrade your act, this one is old and tired.
I’m thinking that is one thing that will change as well.....
I would like to think not. I like tradition, and the lying-in-state and other conventions are what we do. Other countries too, of course, honor their heads and former heads of state. The Bush family understands that the nation wishes to pay its respects, that they and this are a focus of the world's attention, and that there are protocols to follow. But I'll bet that every family member is eager to enter the doors of St. Martin's to see real friends and church-family, go to the train station--they're riding with the former President's body, I've read--and then finally and entirely privately to bury their father/grandfather, uncle or best friend.
I disagree. If Trump spoke he would have made the speech all about himself, not about Bush.It is not about Trump, it is about this nation ripping ourselves apart.

Trump barely knew him, why would Trump speak?
Not knowing!? When has that stopped Trump from bloviating?

H.W. is a pretty good president relatively speaking. From what I read, Bush wanted Trump at his funeral to show that we need to be at a place in this nation where we can come together instead of splitting ourselves apart.
As the Scarecrow said, "people with no brains seem to do a lot of talking."Trump barely knew him, why would Trump speak?
