think let douglas they didn t have to invite him, did they? you always, don, were i remember when we when barbara bush passed and you were very almost proud of her for holding her ground and not wanting president trump at her funeral. but in this case i think that it is important to show the continuity between presidents, that donald trump isn t just an individual, he represents the institution of the presidency, which 41 held so dear. so it s very appropriate that he s there. my concern is strange tweets in the middle of it because of all the mueller investigation things coming out. he very well may be behaved during the ceremony and 15 minutes later writing strange things. we ll have to disagree on that, douglas. i would be sorry not sorry. go on, michael. what did you want to say? well, i think the president, president bush understood, as douglas said, the presidency. he understood the value of the
and, you know, chastising people who refuse to do so. instead we have the president of the united states doing the exact opposite. it s not opposite day. is it opposite year? yeah. opposite term. opposite term. great minds. great minds. juliette, in the new court filing from cohen s attorneys they say in addition to his interviews with the special counsel that cohen is cooperating with prosecutors from the u.s. attorney s office concerning an ongoing investigation. the new york state attorney general s office civil lawsuit against the trump foundation and state tax authorities. so how worried should the president be? because this is one he can t pardon anybody for, right? that s right. and this is part of the theory that renato and others have been talking about, that mueller has sort of dispersed this case to enough different courts in terms of different legal proceedings
he s surrounded by a bunch of foreigners. he is not he does not have the odd thing about these summits is there is an element of equality so that, you know, the prime minister of luxembourg, let s say, or montenegro, remember, that s the guy he pushed out of the way at the nato summit, these guys get equal footing as donald trump the president of the united states. so i think he doesn t like these settings where it sort of equalizes them all. he likes situations where it s he s the spotlight. he s the center of attention. and you know, i think he said one of the other ones you didn t show is at one point he says to one of his aides, get me out of here. get me out of here so i can get back to the rose garden where every camera is pointed at me. i don t have to share the stage with justin trudeau and his twitter feed. oh, my gosh. thank you, fareed. by the way, i loved your special last night. thank you. fareed zakaria. president trump is set to attend the state funeral for p
but they re praising the former president for all the traits that trump that just don t belong to him. he does not have those traits. restraint. right? humility. reticence. prudence. how long can he be gracious with this? oh, i think he s going to try and hold it together throughout the week. i would be shocked even with donald trump to see him break character. now, he does know how to play a role. i know. i know you re giving me that look. look, the things that mark president bush are things like va valor, courage, reticence. the restraint that he showed in the first iraq war. these are you will things that we as americans respect and we know that president trump doesn t respect them. so it is going to be a challenge for him to behave. but the world will be watching. i think he s aware of that. he ll be in the presence of other leaders. i would imagine he doesn t want to shame himself.
every camera is pointed at me. i don t have to share the stage with justin trudeau and his twitter feed. oh, my gosh. thank you, fareed. by the way, i loved your special last night. thank you. fareed zakaria. president trump is set to attend the state funeral for president george h.w. bush on wednesday. but does the 45th president really feel like he s part of the presidents club? craving st, you need your wing nut.
