If JA were near any kind of "normal", you would think he would be squirming in his seat at the church, surrounded by all the past Presidents & wives who he has "trashed" in the last couple years. But, instead, he tweets out, "He is looking forward" to going to the funeral. Guess, he figures one good photo op is worth all the nasty things he has said in the past. Ugh!

What does it say when one has to be concerned that the President of the US will make an utter jackass fool of himself at a former President's funeral and memorial service? For the sake of the Bush family I hope that will not happen, but we all know that this idiot is perfectly capable of doing such a thing.

Wish we knew just what Michael Flynn has had to say. It must be a lot and must be pretty damning for someone . . . If the whole Trump clan suddenly decides to spend Christmas in Moscow or Riyadh we'll have a clue. LOL

I watched part of the ceremony for George H.W. Bush this morning. Trump was the ONLY one who did not have his hand over his heart when the casket was brought it. I guess either Melania forgot to nudge him, or she wanted everyone to see what an idiot he is. Also, his stunt about using a motorcade to cross the street to pay respects to the Bush family? Really?

The tributes were very touching.

He is so totally self-absorbed he just can't help himself. He has absolutely no concept of anyone else's feelings, and what's more he doesn't even want to understand. If it's not all about him, then he intends to try and make it become about him. IMO, he is absolutely disgusting.

I didn't watch the services this morning. As I've mentioned before, my own loss is still too fresh and I can identify very strongly with the family's grief. But looking at the pictures online what stood out to me was how everyone else looked so poised, gracious, and dignified, and yet the JA is sitting there with his legs wide, his arms crossed over his chest looking like a big buffoon. He has no sense of decorum whatsoever. Just goes to show that money doesn't buy class.

I noticed neither JA or Melania attempted to sing, or recite prayers. I can understand the not singing, since I can't cary a tune myself, but at least attempt to pray out loud with the rest of the congregation. JA just looked bored most of the time. Thru out the funeral, I tried to imagine what JA's funeral would be like....as in place, eulogies, songs, prayers, etc. Plus, how many people would actually be there beside current WH staff & family. I have a feeling once JA leaves office one way or another, his life will end up being a very lonely one.

Not said to be ugly, but what I really think, they probably did not know the prayer and/or the songs. Most likely they were completely unfamiliar with them. The majority of us whether we grew up in a religious family or not at least grew up being familiar with the Lord's Prayer, but I'll bet the JA didn't. You'd think they would have at least tried to fake it though. I agree that one way or another once he leaves the WH he will be lonely, because he's made himself a pariah. I won't be at all surprised either if once he's out of the WH Melania waves bye as she heads to the bank.

The only reason I mentioned prayers, is because when they were reciting the Apostle's Creed, the words came back to me instantly even tho I hadn't recited it since my youth when we had to memorize the prayer in Catechism. I think once you know these prayers like The Lord's Prayer as Joyce mentioned, you never really forget the words even tho you may not have spoken them for many years. I guess, one shouldn't judge another's belief, but, JA just brings out the judgement in me, wrong I know. But he just seems so heartless with out a soul or one bit of compassion or genuine caring for anything or anyone.

Something about the way DT is wired he can not sit or stand still........reminds me of young boys in the lower grades of Elementary School.
Melania is the second Catholic First Lady the U.S. has had.....for sure she knew the Lords Prayer and the Apostles Creed.
Donald Trump is a Presbyterian. His ancestors were Lutheran on his paternal grandfather's side in Germany and Presbyterian on his mother's side in Scotland.
Yes he knows the Lords Prayer and probably the Apostles Creed. He also went to Sunday School or Church School.

I am keeping comments to myself about H.W., don't want to speak ill of the dead. That is the trouble with being burdened with a long memory. He was Patrician, he did have manners,and compared to Donald he does look good on paper. I did like his father Prescott Bush, a man with many connections. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush

They live separate lives already and he would find a way to break or reduce any prenup. As far as the "RED Christmas trees" Melania is a (master/mistress?) of subtlety. Remember the pussy bow? The jacket. I took it as a homage to Putin (or to Xi Jinping).
