That's about my only interest in this thing. The Bush family hates 45, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of representation there is from the WH at Barbara's funeral.

[BigmanPigman]

1. He'll make up an excuse. He excels at that.

[PJMcK]

2. Who cares? (n/t)

[Kirk Lover]

3. Barbara Bush would not want him there..they should not go. nt

[Rorey]

7. This is a case of "damned if you do and damned if you don't"

Plus it's going to mar 45's vacation.

[Stallion]

13. I Can See Him Right Now Bitchin' About Ruining his Spring Break

[Rorey]

15. We haven't let him enjoy this presidency at all

And now Barbara had to go and die during his vacation.

[GetRidOfThem]

4. Of course they will

Great photo opportunity...

[HipChick]

5. Obama will be there...dunno about Trump

[leftieNanner]

6. He will send Pence

[bdamomma]

9. I am sure that will be the plan

nt

[BlueStater]

8. Do presidents (ugh) normally attend the funerals of former first ladies?

Did Obama attend the funerals of Betty Ford and Nancy Reagan?

[Rorey]

11. I don't know about Betty Ford's

He didn't attend Nancy Reagan's and the conservatives whined.

[madinmaryland]

12. The two former republican presidents will be there (obviously)...

I would assume the Clintons and probably the Obamas will be there. I'm not sure about the Carters as they are also in their early 90's.

[BlueStater]

17. I guess I should have clarified that I meant incumbent (again, ugh) presidents. n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

24. I think Michelle Obama attended.

Out of respect to represent the Obama Administration.

[dflprincess]

30. Hillary Clinton attended Jackie Kennedy's funeral.

The president did not, but he did speak at her graveside service at Arlington.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Sure, as long as they can steal the spotlight.

Melania will wear her 8" FMN's, and Donald will turn it into a MAGA rally.

[magicarpet]

28. Oh good.... I hope tRdump wears a red MAGA hat....

.... to Babs funeral.

He could set up a table there and sell his line of hats, coffee cups, and Rethug Nazi political crap.

[dflprincess]

33. I'll give Babs this,

she apparently taught her kids some manners. If you compare the way W behaved with the Obamas when they arrived at the White House the day of the first Obama inauguration to how Bonespurs behaved on his "big" day, it's obvious who was taught some social graces - and it is usually the mom who does that.

[oasis]

38. Pence also displayed a lack of class on Trump's innaguration day. nt

[hlthe2b]

14. No, because the Clintons surely will and Obamas, possibly (and Trump remains intimidated byboth)

[SummerSnow]

16. If Trump goes, what will he say to Billy Bush?

[Rorey]

18. I hadn't even thought of that. Thx

[left-of-center2012]

19. Maybe Ivanka and Jared will go

[JohnnyLib2]

20. Either way, it's yet another commentary on what we've lost (or had diminished).

Seeing remaining presidents standing together at such times has being reassuring up to now, IMO.

[eleny]

21. Pence will probably attend

[FloridaBlues]

22. Agree he won't go either pence or The current First Lady will go

Definitely Clinton's. Tdrump wont be welcomed by bush clan.

[eleny]

26. Clintons and Obamas, surely

[CentralMass]

27. The Carter's too,

[Kaleva]

23. If the funeral is held at the Mar-a-Lago , Trump will be there.

[kskiska]

25. He'll send the wife.

I'm sure she has a black outfit she's just dying to show off.

[dflprincess]

31. She could get some practice looking grief stricken.

A look I'm sure she practices in the mirror on a daily basis.

[Luz]

39. Lol

[uponit7771]

32. +1, the oozing evil coming from Benedict Donald would just make things worse

[secondwind]

35. VP Pence and Mother will probably step in for Chump and

the mannequin.

[Gothmog]

36. I doubt that trump will show any class

[smirkymonkey]

42. He'll find some way to make it all about him.

He should stay away. I am sure he is persona non grata.

[hexola]

37. He's gone out of his way to ridicule and distinguish himself from all past presidents.

Leaving him out will send a huge message to him - from all of America.

All past living presidents generally come together for this sort of event.

Trump won't do that.

I predict they will try to send the Pences.

[mercuryblues]

40. Only if it is held

on the maga-loco golf course.

They'll send Pence and Mother

[Vinca]

41. Does he know who she is?

Seriously.
