Several former presidents and first ladies are in attendance at today’s funeral for George H.W. Bush, and President Trump and first lady Melania Trump are there as well. The Washington Post’s senior political reporter Aaron Blake broke down the front row seating chart this way:
The Trumps are seated next to:
1) The president Trump said was illegitimate (Obama)
2) The president he said assaulted women (Clinton)
3) The first lady/SoS he said should be in jail (Hillary)
4) The president he said was the second-worst, behind Obama (Carter) pic.twitter.com/J63WVhs7HU— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) December 5, 2018

“Reporting” in the era of the Resistance means never taking a break.
Wait until you hear about what Clinton said about Obama & Obama said about W Bush. https://t.co/xBvqozXUmx

These people are paid to make everything about Trump. Several of them are getting rich doing it. It’s as simple as that.

Also it’s interesting that the media won’t point out that Trump’s also seated next to somebody who has repeatedly tried to give the impression that HIS presidency is illegitimate.
Natural WashPost. Everyone attacked/victimized by Trump. He doesn't write it as a list of what Obama, Bill, Hillary, and Jimmy have said about Trump. Aaron Blecchh. https://t.co/nFFwAB0IqF

Obama is seated next to:
1) the president who said his candidacy was a fairy tale
2) the president who said he was dangerously naive
3) the president he called a disaster
4) the candidate he savaged in a democratic primary https://t.co/DCmuSMtRdW— Clyde McGrady (@CAMcGrady) December 5, 2018
It could have been written the other way around, but why go off narrative?
He's not wrong about the Clintons and Carter, and it was Hillary's campaign that started the birther stuff about Obama https://t.co/8zf5kW5o8R
