Prediction: Trump declines appearance at Bush funeral.

Why?

No way can he stand to be seated next to the Obamas and the Clintons for over an hour. It will tear him apart.

And he’ll be afraid that the eulogizers might slight him.

He’ll make up some bullshit excuse and send Melania and Pence in his place.

And honestly, that’s fine. While not a fan of the Bushes, Senior deserves due respect as having served as President and there’s no use having Trump stinking it up.

1. Hmmm

He won't go. He doesn't want to answer questions. Was he asked?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. I believe he was invited.

I doubt he was asked to speak, however.

6. Oh ok

I can't stand to listen to him speak. It's absolutely brutal.

2. One can only hope. Perhaps we will get lucky and Melanie will be best by staying away.

4. The Bush family should tell him he's not invited.

They hate him. But maybe GWB is grateful that he won't be remembered as the worst president of the modern era thanks to Dolt 45.

5. I dunno. He's already had one dead guy steal his thunder this year.

He'll want to speak first and then leave early 'cause presidentin' is busy work.

[ooky]

7. I predict he won't show. He desperately wants an invitation

just so he can say he got one and he is wanted there. And then he may say he is going. But if he is not given a speaking part, which the Bush's would be nuts to do, he will cancel, just like he has been canceling so many of his other meetings and appearances. Someone else from the family will attend, like McCain's funeral.

9. What if there's a chance of sprinkles?

Won't want to get his "hair" messed up.

10. Or any Trumps for that matter.....

When Ivanka and Jared crashed John NcCain's funeral, there were gasps and looks that could kill from 20 paces.

No Trumps should be present. Not even the 5th Avenue Melania.
