He really does need a very, very, very long time out.

(52,166 posts)but just imagine if either Clinton or Obama had behaved this way. The man hasn't gone to a single funeral of a political American who has died while he was in office. Simply amazing.

He must have seen HW's quote that he is unfit to be President.

(2,015 posts)I'm not sure which show because I was listening while in my car, that GWHB had requested that he be invited out of respect for the office even though he didn't think much of Trump.

Period.
Good riddance. Not like anyone actually wanted him to go.

(9,291 posts)Obama preserved the evidence and sent it to our allies. I know the Obama and Clinton families can both handle this event, I just don't think they deserve it.
LanternWaste
(37,748 posts)It wouldn't play well at all to his vanity over the next week to see clip after clip of politicians discussing, talking, smiling and acting as adults do among themselves at the state funeral while he is kept at arm's length by anyone with good taste.
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,193 posts)It wasn't because he actually valued anything about Bill Clinton. He just wanted to say that a former US President was at his wedding.

(42,752 posts)I don't know whether MSNBC reported this or not. But they don't have it on their own website and no one else is reporting it, so I'm going with either they didn't really report this or they did report it, but really screwed up by not verifying what they were reporting.
EffieBlack
(14,249 posts)I heard them say he wasn't speaking at the funeral, not that he wasn't attending.
NY Times is also reporting that:

libdem4life
(13,877 posts)Did not read anything about an invite. Of course they don't want him there. Could have been Clinton and GW and Obama...all three. He's smeared all three of them. Then again, there's Melania. I'm thinking she's about done being laughed at along side, or more correctly, behind him. And with all of the legal presidents there?????
So, anxiously awaiting confirmation, although MSNBC would likely be the first to hear...report????
Either way, it's another clusterfu## from our Embarrasser in Chief.

(25,526 posts)I kept Googling and couldn't find anything about not attending.
I did read on Politico that HW specified that he wanted Trump to attend his funeral.
I'm thinking MSNBC misspoke.
I remember all of the news media were saying that Pence was gonna leave the ticket after the "grab em by the _____ " video. Just saying....

Maybe the report confused that he isn't eulogizing with him not attending ...?
Maybe Trump got ticked off that he is not giving a eulogy and canceled ... ?

brooklynite
(94,719 posts)NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't attend. They told him he couldn't speak, and we know he must be the center of attention at any event. Besides, he's always happier with a bucket of KFC and a sixpack of Diet Coke, in bed with his phone and watching Fox.
Fritz Walter
(4,292 posts)...Individual 1s presence at this solemn occasion is not desired.
Besides, his bone spurs would probably flare up again.
My recommendations to the SCROTUS:
Go play golf;
Go pound salt; or
Go fuck yourself!
