I think the reason he didn’t go to Lewis’ funeral is that he’s a petty, small-minded bigot.

If it was " his choice" not to speak at any event, it was because he is a douchebag, and taking anyone up on it would have made him look like a bigger douche considering how he had attacked McCain, Bush, and blacks.
Nobody wanted him to speak because he is petty and small minded, not just that he is a fucking bigot. That would apply to Lewis for sure. But even with the others, he didn't speak because he is not Obama or Clinton or Bush jr.
You persist in misunderstanding what I’m saying, so I’ll just ‘ok’ and leave it at that.
Ok.

If he had showed up you'd be harping on him for not social distancing.......

Well, that was a fruitful exchange.
Trump didn't speak at these funerals and thank goodness for that. He couldn't stay on topic and pretend to be sincere if someone handed him a script and zapped him with a cattle prod every time he veered off topic.
There's no reason for him to overshadow the grief and the showing of respect with his inane ramblings. The only funeral he will be welcome at is his own.

I apologize if I gave the impression that my exchange with Brian was meant to be in any way fruitful or productive. That was not my intent.

This would imply that he had a mind to begin with.
Pff. Come on. He has a me me me me...ind.
