President Trump will skip the funeral service for former first lady Barbara Bush to avoid any disruptions out of respect for the Bush family, the White House said Thursday.
According to the Associated Press, the White House said the president will likely spend the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate and skip the funeral “to avoid disruptions due to added security, and out of respect for the Bush Family and friends attending the service.â€
First lady Melania Trump will represent the first family by attending Saturday’s memorial service in Houston.
