Report: Donald Trump To Speak At Phyllis Schlafly's Funeral

[DonViejo]

Donald Trump is expected to speak at conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly's funeral Saturday, an anonymous source told CNN.

Trump said he'd attend the funeral for Schlafly, who died Monday at 92, during his Friday speech at the Values Voter Summit.

"Phyllis endorsed me at a time when it was not necessarily the thing to do, even the popular thing to do, and I will never forget that that had a great, great impact," Trump said. "I look forward to being with her family tomorrow."

CNN's source did not say what Trump's remarks would entail. Schlafly's funeral, which is open to the public, will take place in St. Louis.

1. Schlafly spent her life trying to hold women back.

So it is no wonder Trump would want to speak at her funeral.

2. I hope this gets publicity

I would guess she has maybe a 10% approval among women, probably closer to 5% among women under 50.

3. Trump is confirming his anti-woman credentials

4. I think this is appropriate for her. I wouldn't wish this in death upon anyone else.

5. Let's see how much he talks about Schlafly, and how much he talks about himself.

I don't really care, because I view both of them with contempt. But my feeling is that Trump will go the usual egomaniacal route and spend a lot more time on himself.

6. When Trump announced to the "Values" forum that he'd attend her

funeral, there was hardly any response from the 100% Christian evangelical audience.

7. Makes sense that this misogynist would speak for a woman who hated women.

8. A Trump eulogy is 20 minutes of Trump talking about Trump & him saying how glad he is that everyone

could come to see him that day.

9. So he's a grief-whore too?

Who knew?

10. This is one time where I'll hope that the Westboro Baptist Church is there to protest
