I'd say none, but all the other presidents have class, god help me even GWB in comparison, and since it's not about the man, but The Office of the President, they would probably do so and show themselves as better men to the world. Maybe they'll give him a posthumous parade!

Trump's funeral will be a fake display of emotion that was never present when he was alive.

He wasn't taken to Washington - he 'laid in repose' at the Nixon Library. His funeral service was attended by dignitaries from around the world, and by 5 living Presidents, according to Wikipedia. And he was still lauded. Something I don't think will happen with trump*.

From Wikipedia:

U.S. President Bill Clinton announced Nixon's death in the White House Rose Garden and proclaimed a national day of mourning five days later. Clinton stated that Nixon was "a statesman who sought to build a lasting structure of peace" and praised his "desire to give something back to this world."[3] Clinton said that he was "deeply grateful to President Nixon for his wise counsel."[3] Tributes also came from former Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.[3] Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Senator George McGovern (who ran against Nixon in 1972), former Senator Howard Baker, Senator Robert Dole, Senator John McCain and Senator Edward M. Kennedy also reflected on Nixon's death.[3]

All living presidents attended Nixon's funeral. And all living presidents will attend Trump's.
