Melania Trump was nothing but class when she attended Barbara Bush’s funeral Saturday.
First Lady Trump rubbed elbows with former presidents George W. Bush and Laura Bush, as well as former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. (RELATED: Melania Sat Next To The Obamas, Clintons For Barbara’s Funeral – What She Did Next Was Pure Class)
After a day of remembrance, New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman used a photo taken at the funeral as an opportunity to criticize President Trump. Haberman responded to a tweet showing a photo of members of the Bush family, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama, and Melania Trump.

President Trump did not attend the funeral, saying he did not want all his security to be a distraction. However, he sent a tweet showing a display of remembrance for Barbara Bush in the White House Saturday. (RELATED: President Trump Shows Remembrance Display For Barbara Bush In The White House)
