Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump to Attend Jimmy Carter's Funeral. Will He Behave Himself? [View all]
There were some news items this morning that Trump says hell attend Carters funeral:
Asked by The Associated Press as he walked into a New Years Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trump said, Ill be there. Trump declined to share whether he had spoken to members of Carters family.
It is customary for living former presidents and the current president to attend the funeral of one of their own, and indeed current President Biden will not just attend but deliver one of the eulogies: Biden says Carter asked him to do his eulogy. However, there is some history here as well as some current news, which warrants raising the question: Will Trump behave himself at Jimmy Carters funeral?
-snip-
When the others sang an opening hymn, [Trumps] mouth did not move. When the others read the Apostles Creed, he stood stoically. And when one eulogist after another testified to George H.W. Bushs integrity and character and honesty and bravery and compassion, Trump sat and listened, often with his lips pursed and his arms crossed over his chest. .

He'll "behave" but he'll behave like a toddler forced into silence. Even his quiet behavior will be a distraction.

Of course, I wish he wouldn't be allowed there, per. Ugh. I certainly don't want to see a camera on him pouting, but....
