You're right. But I think a public snub and "dis-invite" is definitely in order. NurseJackie Jul 2020 #2

That is the last place Trump would want to be. Also, Trump is probably still holding a grudge against John Lewis for his refusal to attend the inauguration.

Or at least cause drama and attention regarding the attendence...because, drama is what tRump does....media distraction, play out the victim, diminish John Lewis's message for the moment.

I have no doubt he met his death with the courage and dignity he lived his life including planning his own funeral.

It will be interesting to see who he picked to give his eulogy.

And he was no turn the other kind of guy but a fighter. No question in my mind Trump will not be allowed to attend. As if he would go, anyway.

How will they social distance? He would be afraid of someone intentionally infecting him.

No one in his family is- those trashy grifters didn't even know who he was.

Pence MIGHT go. Maybe. We'll see.
