Now speaking to the topic, I meant Trump would have just turned up to perform a dull state function rather than actually care about the funeral itself. Therefore it wouldn't have made any difference to his popularity one way or the other. It certainly wouldn't have changed many minds among his supporters or detractors just to see the president turn up as expected, give a run-of-the-mill eulogy when his heart's not in it. Therefore it makes no difference that he stayed away.
What exactly were you hoping Trump would do? Show up at the funeral, surrounded by secret service? You feel that this would have been safe?
We have instances of Antifah members firing weapons at/stabbing black Republicans because they support Trump, both Kanye and Ben Carson have reported death threats from black Democrats. And it's possible that they might have plotted against Hermain Cain.
You seriously would have advised Trump to show up in person at the funeral?
