President Donald Trump and first lady Malania Trump will be attending the funeral of former President George H W Bush at the National Cathedral. Details of the funeral are still sketchy at this time. Below is a released statement from the white House earlier today.....
“The president and first lady were notified late last night of President George H.W. Bush’s passing. President Trump is scheduled to speak with President George W. Bush this morning and offer his condolences on behalf of himself, the first lady and the entire country," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
"A state funeral is being arranged with all of the accompanying support and honors. The president will designate Wednesday, Dec. 5 as a National Day Of Mourning. He and the first lady will attend the funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.”
You would recall that, Trump was not invited to First lady Barbara Bush's funeral in April even though other ex-presidents were in attendance. This says a lot about the character and patriotism of George H W Bush.
He might not have agreed with President Trump (nobody dose) on anything but he has enormous respect for the office of the president and it is only appropriate that a seating president be invited.....(Decent)!
George H W Bush passed last night at his home in Houston, Texas, after several months of declining health. He was 94.
