Also of note: The President and former presidents are sitting on the front row across from the family. The Vice Presidents are on the next row. Of all those people, the Trumps are not really participating in the service. They have sung none of the hymns or liturgy. It’s an Episcopal service, so pretty familiar. I know the First Lady is Catholic, but there is nothing in the service that should not allow participation by a Catholic. The Obamas, Clintons, and Carters, the Bidens, Quayles , Cheneys, and Walter Mondale are all participating.

It just seems strange.
