Trump sets aside political differences, makes an unannounced visit to US Capitol with Melania to pay respects to George HW Bush

President Trump saluted the casket and First Lady Melania Trump put her hand on her heart as they approached Bush's flag-draped coffin.
UPDATED DEC 4, 2018

President Trump and First lady Melania quietly visited the Capitol Rotunda Monday evening to pay respects to former president George H.W. Bush, where he lay in state. Both the president and his wife appeared solemn as they entered the rotunda holding hands and approached Bush's coffin, which was draped in the star-spangled banner. While Trump saluted his remains, the first lady placed her right hand over her heart, Daily Mail reports.

The first couple, for whom the US Capitol Police cleared the rotunda of visitors before their arrival, left silently after paying their respects. While the room was eerily silent and cordoned off when they entered, the Dome outside was lit up, welcoming well-wishers to visit throughout the night and through Wednesday morning.
