Also attending the funeral was sitting First Lady Melania Trump, who was seen smiling along her husband’s predecessor in a photo that went viral over the weekend. President Donald Trump did not attend the funeral. The White House said in a statement that the president wished to respect the Bush family and “avoid distractions” that his security detail might create.
Nevertheless, Trump said in a tweet on Saturday that he was watching the funeral from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Approximately 1,500 people attended the ceremony.
