Who will show up at Trump's funeral?

We know that a couple of dozen marines will have to be there, because he's an ex-president.

His family? Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr. and Eric may be there, but who knows?

Aside from the above contingent, I believe very few others will show up. Perhaps Louis Gohmert will come and try to kiss the corpse of Dear Leader. But Gohmert is one of the stupidest people on the planet, so I doubt you'll see any other senators or congresspeople.

There will probably be a contingent of neo-Nazis/Boogaloo Boyz/Proud Boyz and other crazies who want to say goodbye to their fuhrer, but they will be held at a distance.

Aside from the marines, I'd be surprised to see any decent human being show up.

But you know that Trump will have left behind a written statement which predicts the biggest turnout at a funeral in the history of the world. Too bad he won't be around to see it.

serious crimes, I imagine living ex-presidents won't attend. Guessing they would send reps, status depending on how serious the crimes were.

Otherwise they will come themselves because he was president. Elections have consequences, after all, unfair as being forced to attend may be to people who are blameless in that case.

As for pissing on his grave, only after they've all left and the secret service have taken their turn and left.

His hearse needs to be a refrigerated truck and he should be buried in an unmarked grave, in a pauper's cemetery, face down with his head to the West. A funeral fit for a traitor.

With the exception of Trump, most of our ex-Presidents are decent people who seem to care about America and its institutions even if I find at least one seriously wrong about near everything. I think, their "American leadership roles and responsibilities" will override their disgust. Of course, he might leave a request that they be "insulted" with a request not to attend. That would probably be welcome to each.
