Will Trump Defy Expectations and Show Up at the Ayatollah’s Funeral?
This has got to be the first time I’ve ever thought, “Should I hop on a transatlantic flight for a funeral—or maybe just check my iCal and reschedule the geopolitical chaos for later?” Can you even imagine Donald Trump, legs crossed, sitting on a velvet pew in Tehran, staring down every ayatollah supporter in the room who’d sooner toss their shoe than shake his hand? And the real kicker—what if his arch-nemesis Obama is there, making small talk about international protocol while Trump’s busy pondering ketchup stains on the table cloth? My heart could barely handle it… and I’ve covered some doozies over the years. I mean, juggling world power optics with the terror of another awkward eulogy disaster—Jeffrey Epstein, anyone? Now that’s a PR migraine I wouldn’t wish on my worst SEO rival . It’s politics meets reality TV, and frankly, I can’t look away. Want the full scoop on Trump’s funeral RSVP roulette? LEARN MORE.

WASHINGTON—Carefully weighing the implications of his presence at a particularly tense moment in relations between Iran and the United States, President Trump told reporters Monday that he remained on the fence about attending the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “If I go, I think it’ll really make me look strong, like I’m fully in charge of this whole operation,” said Trump, who added that the sight of him sitting in the front row during services for the Iranian supreme leader killed on his orders would both project power and demonstrate that he was not without compassion. “But I can’t overlook the likelihood that many of the ayatollah’s supporters will turn out for his funeral, making things a bit uncomfortable. Maybe even dangerous. Plus, it must be an 11-hour flight to Tehran, and I don’t want to travel all that way just to end up sitting next to Obama.” At press time, Trump had reportedly decided against attending, recognizing that his reputation still had not fully recovered from delivering the eulogy at the funeral of Jeffrey Epstein.
