The late former Vice President Dick Cheney may have irked President Donald Trump one last time, as the MAGA leader plans to skip Cheney's funeral after being curiously left off the list of speakers.
*****
In our nations 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump, Cheney said last year in announcing he'd vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.
Cheney died on Nov. 3 at the age of 84 from complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. On Wednesday, USA Today reported at least two former presidents plan to attend the service: George W. Bush, who served two terms with Cheney as his vice president, and Joe Biden. Bush is slated to speak at the service.
Trump, however, will not attend the funeral and "wasn't asked to speak at the service," the report noted.

(23,260 posts)I have to wonder what Trump's funeral will look like. Maybe because he won't be the featured speaker, surviving Presidents and additional diplomats will attend, because that's protocol. I imagine many of them would be biting their lips, hard, to the point of bleeding, to suppress BROAD smiles.

(53,193 posts)Trump has a grade-A case of the ass against both Dick (who said what you can read in the OP about him) and Elizabeth (who was on the J6 committee) and would have no qualms about airing his grievances at Dick's funeral.

His narcissism would make it be about him.
