Hmmm, was the reception buffet catered by McDonald's?
Anyway, the news reported that Trump talked with Zelenskyy (first time since the infamous Oval Office ambush with Vance) at the funeral. Following which Trump blasts Putin and doesn't think Putin wants to end the Ukraine war.
Man, Trump's views switch to basically whatever he last heard.
That was the MO his first term, which is why his access has been very strictly controlled this time around; everyone knows he's 30 minutes of kiss-ass flattery and schmoozing away from doing a policy shift.
Yes, I think "my Chuck" was a thing for about 8 weeks.
The thing is, Trump could've EASILY achieved his inner-dream of being a beloved New York figure as President by basically being a Giuliani circa-1998 Republican; socially liberal but tougher on crime/immigration, generic R on everything else, making cameos on SNL . .that Trump would have probably 60% approval.

He did say he was looking forward to being there, so he never viewed it as a solemn event. Probably just there for the buffet at the reception.

Remember when he was buds with Pelosi and Schumer for, like, five hot minutes?

That Trump would probably have trouble winning a GOP primary, though. (Naked racism and misogyny are...pretty essential elements of his brand.)
