Joe is being gracious, here. And I think he’s sincere, as he has lost several family members and knows in spades what it’s like.

Very sorry to hear this; may he Rest In Peace.

I must have missed something along the way. I didn’t know you don’t believe in an afterlife. Just out of curiosity – why not?

Eternal Rest grant unto Robert Trump, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

And may God comfort President Trump and all the other family and loved ones of Robert Trump, and wipe every tear from their eyes, till they meet again in Heaven.
Amen.

I am happy to see gestures like this as it is a hopeful sign that civility is not entirely dead.

This reminds me of a line from someone’s rendition of the story of Cinderella (I think that was the story). At the end of the movie the evil step sisters find themselves in a position of needing help and go to the now married Cinderella. When they ask for help, Cinderella tells them that she will ensure that they receive every courtesy that they had extended to her.

Interesting to see people who have condemned things like this in Trump do the very same thing. Pretty much cancels out any virtue they claimed previously.

I did like seeing this tweet from the Bidens. Politics were put aside for a moment
and common courtesy and decency prevailed.

Apparently, the President held a funeral at the White House for his brother, and he prayed for the repose of his soul. This is not the first time President Trump has gone on the record praying for the dead, which is interesting because Presbyterians don’t do that. Continuing to pray for the President’s conversion to the Catholic Church as well as the repose of his brother’s soul.
