Awk.

Make us preferred on Google

President Donald Trump on Wednesday attended the funeral of former President George H.W. Bush, who died Friday night at the age of 94. All living former presidents and first ladies were also present, but it was Trump's arrival that got the most attention, and how he seemed to turn the whole thing awkward.

Check out the mood before Trump arrived:


And then after:

Fox News' Chris Wallace described a "chill" when Trump showed up.

Yeah, awkward.

Taking his seat in the front row next to his wife, Trump greeted the Obamas as he entered the pews. It was the first time the two First Families have seen each other since Trump's inauguration.

The Clintons, situated in the middle of the bench, did not acknowledge Trump. Same goes for the Carters at the other end.

Hillary Clinton did not move a muscle. The shade was real.

Trump's posture during the touching eulogies was very telling as well. Trump, sulking with his arms folded, is visibly uncomfortable listening to tributes to Bush -- a war hero and venerated statesman -- from family, friends, and foreign dignitaries.

And it did not go unnoticed.

Today was not about him, and that never sits well with Trump.

On Wednesday morning, Trump expressed his excitement for the funeral, which he called a "celebration," on Twitter.

"Looking forward to being with the Bush family," Trump tweeted. "This is not a funeral, this is a day of celebration for a great man who has led a long and distinguished life. He will be missed!"

Nope.

Sure, there were no disruptions from Trump.

The bar is set so low to begin with, however, that the media praised him for his behavior at Bush's Tuesday memorial service.

It was not well-received.

One exception though: Trump was criticized for not reciting the Apostle's Creed during the Tuesday service. We will let the religious right grapple with that.

President George Herbert Walker Bush (1924-2018).

Video Of Guy Turning Off Mall Escalator And Blocking People From Getting Off Has Viewers Sounding Off

We can all agree that some social media trends are fun and harmless, but most of them are pretty ridiculous and either inconvenient or hurt people.

There have been a few escalator trends over the years, mostly one person confusing someone else by touching their arm, passing them a note, or even flirting with them.

Mormon Church Accidentally Spotlights Gay Mormon Fashion Designer—And People Can't Get Enough

A Mormon church tried to stay hip and garner new followers by promoting a fashion line, only to prove to all of us that we're really not as different as the prejudiced people among us would like us to believe.

Let's unpack this: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an Instagram account over at @churchofjesuschrist. They regularly promote members of their community, demonstrating what they do, how they give back to their community, and how their religious testimony ties into their mission.

ICE Agent Who Killed Man In Maine Caught In Chilling Audio Threatening To Slit His Ex-Wife's Throat

David Brouillette, the ICE agent who fatally shot Joan Durán Guerrero four times during an attempted traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine, earlier this month, has sparked outrage after unearthed audio revealed he once left a voicemail for his ex-wife threatening to slit her and her female family members' throats.

In an interview with NPR, Ashley Brouillette shared a profanity-laced voicemail her ex-husband left on Nov. 28, 2025, shortly after she filed for a restraining order against him. The recording, obtained by NPR, captures him speaking with slurred speech before ending with a threat that she and the women in her family should have their throats cut.

Lauren Boebert Dragged After Making Bonkers Claim About Moon Landing Before Correcting Herself

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was widely mocked after she told a MeidasTouch reporter that she believes the moon landing was done in an "Amazon warehouse" before quickly correcting her own mistake.

July 20 marked 57 years since the Apollo 11 mission astronauts landed on the Earth's moon. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
