It was the first time a president has held an East Room funeral for a member of his family in nearly 100 years.
Comments
Trump, petty fuck as always.
Robert Trump as an A-1 douchebag sued his niece to keep her from publishing a book detailing what posers and criminal lowlifes most of the family was. Epitaph: "I'm slightly less scummy than my brother, only because I'm less known and less audacious." Of course the judge sister has her share of skeletons - resigning before all her tax dodging was divulged. Did she foul & defile the White House for her presence?

Peracles, don't be so hard on the trumps! Poor Robert died (too) soon after his marriage to his long-time mistress. [The COVID lockdown has me watching way too many murder mysteries]. I also think it was very sweet of the donald to finally bring his very best friend to the WH after all this time.
I guess we'll never know what he actually died of.

It it interesting reading about the history of the original family restaurant, there are hints about what kind of family the Montemarano's of Brooklyn were
The Life and Times of Monte's Venetian Room
Exploring the history of an iconic Brooklyn restaurant.
such as ....Frank Sinatra used to sing at Monte's Venetian Room, the older parishoners at Our Lady of Peace Church told Father Patrick Boyle...Angelo's was a speakeasy during Prohibition, with a chute to the basement in case the staff needed to dispose of bottles ahead of a police raid...
At night, the clientele came from near and far. Sal mentioned politicians, ballplayers Joe Torre and Joe Pepitone, priests from Our Lady of Peace, doctors from Methodist Hospital, fruit merchants from Court Street, comedian Pat Walker and billionaire hotel magnate Leona Helmsley, who brought her dog along with her. Rose mentioned James Caan, Danny Aiello and golden-era Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr. There was a night in the 70s, recalled by the New York Post, when Sammy Davis Jr. showed up and performed a spontaneous concert into the morning hours.
"The Gallo brothers hung out there all the time, all three of them," Nick Monte's nephew Paul Monte, who now runs Gurney's Inn, told me.
In the 60s, local gangsters Larry, Joe and Albert Gallo became famous for their headline-grabbing style and their war against mob leadership, waged from the home base they set up in a couple of President Street apartments....
Just sayin'
