Trump will attend Bush memorial but won't speak at funeral, sources say

I heard that they're not going to allow Obama anywhere near the gravesite ceremony.

Making it clear he wanted Trump there was decency.

We never saw that from McCain.

McCain was never POTUS, so a different kettle of fish. And considering Trump's repulsive behaviour, not having Trump attend his funeral was the decent thing to do.

Are you sure? I never heard or saw evidence that Bush was a racist like Trump.

"I heard that".... is no way to start a post on DP. It just reeks of "I don't know and I don't care, but I want to post this nonsense anyway because it feels good..."

Sorry, but your statement seems completely nonsensical as there was no known animosity between Bush and Obama. If you are going to say something controversial you better have some backup for the statement.

Either present a cite or don't bother. So, where is your cite for this assertion?

Next time you feel compelled to post something that begins with "I heard that"...kindly verify it from some source so you don't post such nonsense and look foolish doing so.

Where did you hear this, because It's false?

Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are all expected to attend the service, according to sources familiar with the planning of the funeral. The current and all former first ladies are also expected to attend, except for Rosalynn Carter, according to the sources.

Just FYI, the interment will not be in D.C. after the National Cathedral service, which is what the former Presidents will attend. Former President Bush will be buried privately by his family and friends on the grounds of his Presidential Library in Texas.

I don't think either would choose a dog whistle for an alias.

LOL! Reserving the burial for family only is not a rebuke of anyone. That is just their personal wish for privacy in what is a very personal and somber moment. The Bush family considers the Obama family to be their close personal friends

I need a cite for that well. What are you talking about? I merely challenged you to back up your assertion that defied logic and conventional wisdom..... and you failed to do so.

...duly noted that you could not produce a cite for post #26, so we get to assume that it is not true.

Just reporting the facts CNN-style. Obama will be attending the funeral, but is not allowed to attend the gravesite service.

Basic facts do not "defy logic". Obama is not invited to the gravesite service. Sorry if you're not up on the news, that's your problem, not mine.
 
Can only imagine how that speech would go.

"George H.W. Bush was a great President, a tireless public servant...

Of course he raised taxes, I cut taxes, have a great economy because of it, greatest in history in fact.

I also, beat a Clinton, he lost against a Clinton of course...".

If you can believe it, it probably gets worse from there.

If they let him speak he would just talk about himself or go on some stupid tirade about the Special Counsel.. He's done this time and time again at public appearances.

"I heard that..." is much like "Some people say..."

Where have we heard that before? ;)
