Trump is such a boor, such a social oaf, that no person of dignity would want him at a major life event -- funeral or otherwise -- unless you are trying to gratify him because you want something from him. Dead people don't want anything from anyone, and McCain's family doesn't need anything Trump can provide. Even if McCain is doing it because he's a vindictive, grudge-holding SOB, it's also an eminently rational decision.
