It used to be an honor for the President to attend one's funeral.
There's a whole lot of prominent people who died in the past 3.5 years who didn't want trump to attend their funeral.
Let's hope he doesn't show up at Rep. John Lewis' funeral either.

President Trump on Monday mounted his most forceful and detailed legal attack yet on the subpoena for his tax returns by the Manhattan district attorney, arguing the request was “wildly overbroad” and “issued in bad faith,” a new court filing showshttps://t.co/1MXJlX2o9X

It's no longer a question of if Trump is hiding something in his tax returns, it's a question of what he's hiding https://t.co/DJ812FShdD

New polls show his pandemic response is one of the major things dragging the president down. But doing anything about it is antithetical to his personality https://t.co/iMC8evRSsS

Throughout his tenure, William Barr has been on a largely unchecked spree of corruption.

You see, kids, the FBI has long wanted to build a new HQ campus out in Maryland or Virginia. But the GOP language specifies it must be in DC. Which means they'll most likely stay right across from Trump's only profitable hotel. Preventing the lot from becoming a competing hotel. https://t.co/rQvctokdxq

I really can't exaggerate how much, when I signed up for Twitter in 2009, it was viewed by everyone as a silly sideshow, a way for journalists to waste time & procrastinate. The idea that it would ever *matter*, actually play a role in world events, was utterly ludicrous.
