If Trump were to keel over and drop dead, say from natural causes.....

[Cinnabar]

.....would or should he still get a traditional former President's funeral?

Would his casket be carried draped in the American flag on a horse drawn cart up Constitution Avenue?

Would that casket then lie in state in the same Capitol Rotunda where he urged and egged on his followers to invade, vandalize and destroy?

Would he have a military jet flyover and a 21 gun salute?

Does he even deserve any of that?

Could a Democrat majority Congress vote to deny him such honors?

Well regardless, he would have to be interred in an undisclosed location due to the fact there would be a long line of folks waiting to rightfully vandalize and trash the MOFO's grave.

Speaking for myself, I wouldn't be Mourning.

The responses here are exactly why I enjoyed the Trump presidency. He did, and will continue to for decades, piss off the very people I dislike so much.
Go, Donald, continue to shit in their Wheaties each and every day while I sit back and laugh at their frustration.
Life is good.

I’ve seen the same response about Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama. It isn’t limited to Trump.

I felt the same about those also.

I have never liked you or your posts, Nomad.
We're from vastly different wings of the Democratic Party.

These, nonetheless, are very valid questions.
Even a broken clock is right twice each day.

You, OTOH, are a cuckoo clock that runs backwards.

I am sure of that.

Sounds about right.....

Grind him up and make Big Macs out of him.

 

[Althea]

Not wishing for it, but yes, he was President, although being a Trump, the family will probably attempt to make it “tremendous,” a made for TV event, and of course sources as Fox will portray it as comparable to FDR’s passing

Another question is the Trump Presidential Library, imagine the bucks Trump will make on that one

They might have to line the floor of the rotunda with wee wee pads. I can see a lot of people pissing on the coffin.

He would receive the honors and Biden would even attend the funeral because Biden believes in our systems and he’s an honorable man, unlike the Trump’s and how they snubbed the Biden’s.

Yep. And...it will be a day of celebration as the world gets just a little better.

 

[Althea]

I can see someone eulogizing him.

"He was a deeply troubled man. More troubled than any other person in the world. The most troubled person this nation has ever seen. A lot of people are saying that. He was incompetent, and had absolutely no sense of compassion. But he was the best at being incompetent. Especially in bed, but more so in the business community. He managed to bankrupt several casinos. Nobody has ever been able to accomplish that.

He will be remembered as the worst POTUS in history. We won't miss him"

"May he rot in hell"

 

[Althea]

While I agree, Melania may elect to skip any state function since she'd have to attend. She could just say "private funeral", have a cremation and dump the ashes wherever she likes.

Meanwhile, across major blue states there will be this:

trump requested to be cremated, for fear of being buried near a black person.

According to the below link and a wiki link, lying in state isn't automatic; it has to be approved by both sides of Congress. I presume it's simple majority.

Qualification for lying in state is automatic for a President, but authorization doesn't seem to be likewise: https://www.aoc.gov/what-we-do/programs-ceremonies/lying-in-state-honor

I would give him the same traditional potus funeral he gave the traditional potus portrait.

Remember how that tradition went?

Hire strippers to dance on top of a tacky looking gold coffin.

Eric can set up a little stand in the back with Daddy's Urn: $5 to see it, $1000 to touch it and $10,000 to stick your finger in the ashes.

The Trump's are very transactional people; everything is for sale if the price is right.

He would get a fancy public funeral. It would be out of respect for the office. But stories about him being alive and fleeing to Argentina would flourish.
