So....funerals for high dignitaries like First Ladies....

...usually are attended by both former Presidents and First Ladies, as well as the current President and First Lady.

Which means things might get very awkward with the Madman having to share the same room as President Obama and Secretary Clinton.

If he dares to show, he will be first seat, first row. The Clintons may sit with the family though.

I do not believe Obama attended the funeral of Betty Ford (2011) and I don't think Bill Clinton attended Pat Nixon's funeral in 1993.
