Fat donnie was on the WH lawn a short time ago with one of his helicopter interviews. At one point, a reporter asked him about the arrangements for Robert's funeral.
Well guess what, folks! The funeral will be held at the WH - our house - on Friday. Who's pocket does this come out of?

(10,885 posts)the focus back on him, as usual, and trying to play that sympathy card.
He's already scheduled a number of events this week, trying to draw away from DNC coverage. That limelight can't belong to anyone else!

(25,253 posts)Another contrived campaign event at the expense of the American People.
I don't anticipate any real sincerity coming from Trump - just a big act - as he'll know that if this event is televised - the camera's will be focused on him.
He's gonna 'mug it up'.

(63,221 posts)He is not, is he? If he turns this into a political event just to gain sympathy, I will eat my hat! I don't know what that means, exactly. Something my grandmother used to say.
Seriously, can he do this? Have a private family funeral televised at the WH?
Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)be held at the WH, but didn't say televised. That remains to be seen, although I wouldn't be surprised that that's his end game. He'll turn anything he can into a taxpayer-funded campaign event.
I can't wait until this crap is over, once and for all...78 days to the election; 155 days to the Inaugural.

(15,222 posts)A funeral in the White House? Seriously.
Money definitely doesnt buy class.
karynnj
(59,504 posts)Even past Presidents or top leaders have never had funerals in the WH. Not to mention, shouldn't this be decided by the widow?
That said, I assume our leaders will graciously ignore how odd and inappropriate this is. Both Biden and Harris put out kind condolences and will likely leave it at that.

(11,443 posts)Can you imagine the fits he and the repukes would be throwing if a setting Dem president did this? Asshole even uses the death of a brother for personal and political gain.
JustAnotherGen
(31,828 posts)No 'news' conferences, press conferences, speeches from the Rose Garden, etc. etc. I don't think I've watched one for years.
I was ECSTATIC when 45 stopped the Corona Virus briefings.
If enough Democratic Party members alone vowed to turn off MSNBC, CNN, and the major networks that disrupt us with these briefings - they would be less inclined to provide live coverage.
Nothing 45 says is of value. Nothing.

haele
(12,660 posts)Bill Clinton's mom died when he was president, no White House funeral.
Robert's funeral memorial will probably cost his estate a hundred thousand or so. How could we taxpayers grudge poor "successful businessman" Donnie that much less "inheritance". I mean, it's not like Robert is going to be interred on the Whitehouse lawn in a huge, gilded taxpayer funded Trump Dynasty mausoleum, amirite?

(50,560 posts)We pay Trump to golf on his own courses. We pay him to use space in his own buildings. OF COURSE we're paying him to memorialize his own brother. We SHOULD have impeached the bastard for misuse of government funds.

(1,648 posts)That is why all of his crimes need to be exposed and all of his property and assets seized to reimburse the United States for the tRump Family's (and their ass lickers) personal financial damages against the United States.
Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)back to U.S. causes! His golfing and related expenses are for his health and exercise (walking from the cart to the ball). Why aren't we Dems more grateful?
WyattKansas
(1,648 posts)It won't be difficult to seize his skank ass brand to liquidate all assets. Oh, and the Russians who co-signed his brand can fuck off and go pound Putin mud.
