Trump to attend George HW Bush's funeral, declares December 5 as national day of mourning to honor former president
Trump's tweet read: 'President George H.W. Bush led a long, successful and beautiful life. Whenever I was with him I saw his absolute joy for life and true pride in his family.'
President Donald Trump has reportedly designated December 5 as a National Day of Mourning after former President George HW Bush's death on November 30. A spokesperson for the Bush family, Jim McGrath, said that the former president died shortly after 10 p.m on Friday, nearly eight months after the death of his late wife Barbara Bush.
