I'm recalling the times Obama spoke at several.
Very moving and inspirational.

Trump could stumble through something about how he (Trump) has done more in
two years than all other Presidents combined;
toss in a few comments about "no collusion"; "witch hunt"; "Fake news".

Maybe he'll tweet while the service is in progress
"My funeral will have many more in attendance".

1. There's another thread saying he isn't.

2. No

Thankfully, former Canadian PM Mulroney, GW Bush, Jon Meacham and Former Sen. Allan Simpson are doing the eulogies

3. I have read somewhere (CNN?) that he will not.

Can you imagine the spectacle if he did? No doubt he'd have a prepared speech written by someone else, but once he got there and stood up to face that huge crowd of powerful people, international dignitaries and maybe a few celebrities, he wouldn't be able to resist going off-script and talking about himself. It would be a disaster.

4. He'd probably read something somewhat appropriate off a teleprompter in a sulky monotone.

Unless he's deteriorated to the point he can't even do that.

5. The bullshit that comes out of his mouth ought to add a little humor.

Although he wouldn't intend for it to be that way.

6. Either way, he looks ridiculous

The huge contrast between this orange turdball and real Presidents will be glaringly obvious... whether the speaks or not.

9. The body language from the G20 comes to mind......

Trump is incapable of real emotion other than anger.

7. Babble, not talk.

8. Maybe they will sprinkle his Wheaties with enough tranquilizer to drop a horse.

Then if he does get up to speak, he will mumble vaguely about something off topic and then stagger back to his pew. I’d pay to see that.

Can you just imagine the memes?? LOL
