3. Then his approval will drop to 38% only to go back up

Please don’t let that trash go to any other President’s funeral. That includes all of the tRumps. They are such a blight on our country.

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.

6. Yeah, but since GHWB and Shrub were outspoken critics of Trump, he might not show up.

.

GHWB called Trump a blowhard, and spoke up against the divisiveness and bigotry.

8. Trump is WAY too vain to NOT show up, esp. after being excluded for McCain's service ...

Unless, like I say, the Bush family invites Obama (or Hillary) to deliver an address, but doesn't invite Trump to do so, in which case he'll pitch a hissy fit, whine about how GHWB was 'CIA Deep State' in some idiotic/inappropriate Faux interview, in which he'll also say he's decided to not attend, etc.

12. There's no way in hell they would let that self-centered, traitor speak. Attends, but no speaking.

14. He won't go- but, there will be an excuse- my guess

is that either something will come up (rain?), or that his presence will upset traffic.

There will be some excuse.
