My first presidential vote was for Walter Mondale. My second was for George H.W. Bush. I was taken in, a bit, by the ad campaign depicting Mike Dukakis as an ineffectual wimp. I don't necessarily regret that vote, except for Clarence Thomas.
Four years later, Pat Buchanan challenged Bush from the Revanchist Right. While he lost, it was a sign of the coming lurch into racism, ignorance and grievance that typifies the far right in America today.
I would be very surprised of Trump was invited to the funeral.
