Friends, family and former first families gathered in Texas Saturday to honor Barbara Bush. It was precious. We also got this rare photo out of it:
As I mentioned before, President Trump did not attend.
βTo avoid disruptions due to added security, and out of respect for the Bush Family and friends attending the service, President Trump will not attend,β White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters said in a statement.
Today, my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bush family. In memory of First Lady Barbara Bush, there is a remembrance display located at her portrait in the Center Hall of the @WhiteHouse. pic.twitter.com/AuJ3RLZyax

Heading to the Southern White House to watch the Funeral Service of Barbara Bush. First Lady Melania has arrived in Houston to pay our respects. Will be a beautiful day!

Melania represented the First Family and did a fantastic job. She is truly a class act.
What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman who lived for God, family and country. pic.twitter.com/sBKNmkgsI6

It was my honor to travel to Houston to give my respects to Barbara Bush and the remarkable life she led as a mother, wife, and fearless First Lady. My sincerest thoughts and prayers continue to be with George H.W., and the entire Bush family.

Cue the life-ruining libs. They have to ruin absolutely EVERYTHING.
You see, Melania sat next to Obama at the service, and someone snapped this pic:
Do NOT tweet this photo to @realDonaldTrump. He'll hate knowing that the first time Melania cracked a smile in years was during a quiet chat with Obama. pic.twitter.com/4JwBHGUcP5

That inspired unwanted commentary from miserable losers like Philippe Reines.
A funeral. Sitting next to the man she & her husband birthered.
Yet itβs the 1st smile on her in years. In older photos sheβs ALWAYS smiling.
Obama is a funny guy, but thatβs a woman craving distance from a monster being reminded what dignity looks like.
sheβs still complicit. https://t.co/e4IXOze3bt

Disgusting. They’re attending a funeral and being POLITE to each other, you freak.
Thatβs not fair. I disdain her too. She embraced the birther attacks – and always had a smile when she did.

But you see? This is all liberals can talk about now. They’re all, “See? With Obama she’s HAPPY! She’s a SLAVE TO TRUMP! She hates him!”
This is Melania and Obama sitting together today at former First Lady Barbara Bush's funeral. Have you ever, ever, EVER seen Melania smile like this, and look this relaxed, beside her own husband? Ever? pic.twitter.com/9qYLT2glIH

Melania looks happier at a funeral than she has in ages. Wouldnβt you too if you went from being with Donald every day to sitting next to Barack?

Haven't seen Melania smile this much in years. She's happier with the Obamas at a funeral than she is with her husband in the White House π pic.twitter.com/pz4WauDxjq

So Melania Trump has not forgotten what smiling is. She only needs someone to remind her. pic.twitter.com/drtrZzqDW7

Hey @realDonaldTrump, listen all I'm saying is Melania looks happier at a funeral with Obama than I've ever seen her with you. Sad! pic.twitter.com/HHrk8LjxZP

I thought this kind of crap was beneath them. They’re at a FUNERAL honoring the former First Lady. What is WRONG with you guys?
Y'all. Melania is actually happier with Obama at a funeral than she is with Trump at his inauguration dinner!#barbarabushfuneral pic.twitter.com/mDhGqWJjid

You know your life sucks when the happiest weβve ever seen you is at a funeral. Next to the man your husband hates more than any other. pic.twitter.com/vG2lHXyuEy

This is Actual Bullsh*t.
But fine. Let’s play the game. Melania NEVER smiles with Donald.
For all the #SaltyDems that are saying First Lady Melania never smiles when she is with President Trump…..
This was this week.#MAGA@realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS β€οΈ pic.twitter.com/eDojXdioGu

Just to recap: Smiling politely during a conversation with someone serves as a clear sign that your life is secretly miserable. Also, it probably means you hate your husband and want a divorce. Please be advised.
