Funerals are a time to mourn and pay respect to the deceased and their family. It is a time for coming together in a ceremony of civility and support. Four former Presidents were there to pay their respects. Two were the husband and son, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and former President's Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama. Former President Jimmy Carter was out of the country and could not attend.
President Trump sent his wife, the first lady to attend because he feared protest and demonstrations would detract from the services. It marked a very sad day when a sitting President thought he had to be a no show all because of his inflamed and divisive rhetoric which brings out protestors and demonstrators. The four former Presidents who attended did not have that problem because their Presidency was civil.
This situation is another reminder how President Donald Trump has betrayed the highest office in the land and is a pathetic individual.
