    Presidential funerals are mapped out years in advance -- from when the president is/was in office. It's highly scripted and they don't wait until they pass away to go over the details. The exact plans -- from processional to lying in state in the Rotunda, to who is giving speeches at certain times -- are already determined. For all of them.

    If Jimmy Carter leaves instructions for a graveside service in the Southwest Georgia sun, rest assured Trump will stay away lest he melt into the red clay like an ass-scented candle.

    I could absolutely see Carter have a very quiet, nondescript service. He's been out of office for more than 40 years. Meanwhile, Trump probably has all the military bells and whistles lined up, fireworks over the capital, a mourning period of 45 days, a coast-to-coast-and-back-to-coast whistlestop train tour, five days of speeches at the National Cathedral, a three-day LIV event fundraiser (shorts and loud music included) with proceeds going to the Trump Organization and full burial at Arlington.

    People turn 65 every year. More than those who die. There will be 80 million 65-and-olders by 2040, more than double the number in 2000.

    And there will be a long line of well wishers fresh off Taco Bell visits ready to visit his grave.

    Just think if when Fatfuck kicks off, the president in office issues a decree: No state funeral. No burial at Arlington. No flags at half staff. And fuck anybody who doesn't like it.

    Didn’t Benedict finally kick the bucket about four months ago?

    Alls I know is I want @Starman to run security at my funeral.
