The media and Bush funeral - and then Trump

The media is falling all over themselves to make GHW Bush out to be some saint. He was far from it. But like all past Presidents, he looks great in the rear view mirror because Trump is so vile and unfit. You have to wonder what they will say when Trump passes away. That he was not so bad?

I think, that if we were living in in ancient Egyptian times, his name and image will be stricken from all public places.

I honestly don't think there will be anything good about him that anyone will say after he croaks.

there will always be the fawning minions but they will be in a minority.

as for his state funeral, I think the few that are required to attend will be pained to do so and will leave quickly, and those that aren't won't show and will be the lowest attended presidents funeral in modern times.

as for the media, I see, at least, CNN cutting away during the service to a pig farmer whose prize pig won a beauty context.

They always transfer personal likeability to policy. Oops, wait a minute. tRump has no personal likeability (is that a word?). Naw, they’ll find something kind to say about him. Like, he once held Melania’s hand, or he once had toilet paper stuck to his shoe, or he loved Kim Jung Un. Trust me, they will search for something adorable.
