Why was Trump perceived negatively at Bush's funeral? Michael Huggins Answered Dec 9 Beats me. If anything, the President was true to his principles, and the country owes him a vote of thanks! First, why did that old guy have to die now, when Trump’s got more important things on his mind, like Lyin’ James Comey and Manafort, and Mueller and his witch hunt? For God’s sake. I mean, I know Bush was old, but Jimmy Carter is as old as he was, and he’s still kicking—he even showed up at the funeral! Surely Bush could have held on a little longer. The President’s time is valuable. So at least Trump had the decency to show up, but then, nobody told him if there was a coat room in that whole place, and he had to hand off his coat to that Marine escort, and I’ll bet that coat is pretty darn expensive, so Trump had to sit through that whole service wondering if he’d even get his coat back without some klutz damaging it or trying to steal it or something! I’d be scowling too if that was on my mind! And then, he had to put up with all those former Presidents, who were failures, compared to Trump—he’s said so many times! I mean, it was kind of embarrassing. The other Presidents should have sat one row back and left the front row to Trump and Melania alone. The Obamas tried to make up for their embarrassment by shaking Trump’s hand, but Hillary wouldn’t even look at Trump, the stuck up witch! She’s lucky that Trump didn’t try to get the crowd started in a chant of “Lock her up.” That would have livened the proceedings up a great deal, let me tell you! As to Bush 43, he actually snubbed Trump. I mean sure, he shook hands with Trump, but then, Bush reached across Trump to hand a piece of candy to Michelle, and didn’t even give one to Trump! I mean, who the hell does he think he is? Jesus. Learn some respect! Finally, they made everyone stand up and recite something called The Apostles Creed. President Trump probably thought that was a character from the latest Rocky movie and maybe even hoped he’d get to chat with Sly Stallone, and Sly didn’t even show! So anybody can see that the whole funeral was planned for maximum annoyance to our nation’s leader. But did he take the bait? Did he speak up to protest, even once? Did he tweet during the funeral? Did he shove President Bush’s arm away when he rudely handed that candy to Michelle? No. You see, our President showed rare self-restraint. He’s more Presidential than anyone realized. We need to just get off the guy’s back, for pity’s sake, and let him continue to show just who he is and what he can do! Edit, 21 hours later: I am deeply grateful to all who took time to read this. Twenty-thousand views and a thousand upvotes in fewer than 24 hours is a record for my posts. It is also heartening to be contacted by so many reality-oriented people. Thank you. Tracy Saritzky Dec 10 · 138 upvotes including Michael Huggins You forgot how everyone kept insulting Trump by saying nice things about Bush; describing Bush as honest was obviously meant to be a stab at Trump. Nathan Lacoff Dec 10 · 16 upvotes including Tracy Saritzky Yes. The eulogy should have gone - Bush was great but not as great as our current president, Bush was a war hero but hey our current president kept from getting VD during Vietnam and Bush signed the Americans for disabilities act but Trump does one better. He critisizes and mocks people with disabilities.
