Much can be said for George W. Bush’s moving eulogy for his father, George H.W. Bush. And there is much to be learned as well.

In fact, I can’t help wondering if our 45th president isn’t already thinking about how he would want to be remembered. Does President Trump want to be remembered as a cold-hearted belligerent man? Or would he prefer to be remembered as a man of decency, humility and a gentleman?

While I give Trump credit for shaking hands with the Obamas, the man has some serious work ahead for any fence-mending. But when Trump sat down, I couldn’t help but notice that his arms were tightly crossed in front of his chest – which could signal that he is closed to any peace-making and friendships. And perhaps the words of our 43rd president were totally impervious to our 45th. Time will tell.
