Generally we do this first:
Barbara Bush dead at 92
And this isn't "politics". It's if anything a Current Event. Barbara Bush was not a politician.
Fun fact: Barbara (Pierce) Bush is a descendant of Franklin Pierce, the 14th POTUS.
You feel that the former first lady of the US is not a political figure? You are flat ass wrong. Barbara Bush represented our government to millions of America and to people all over the world. Her great qualities were seen as qualities of our government she represented as first lady.
Unfortunately millions if not billions of people throughout the world see US values represented by Trump, today.
Nnnnope. "First Lady" is not an elected office. It's not an office at all. It's an abstract concept that has, in truth, no meaning in and of itself. It has nothing to do with political parties, nor is it some kind of "contact high" she gets from her husband. She actually 'represents' nothing --- except the abstract pedestal we put her on whether she wants it or not, to amuse ourselves when there's no other news.
Whichever First Lady we care to consider, it was her husband who ran for and won the office, not her. The only reason it's a conceptual "position" at all is that our sterling mass media is obsessed with the royalty thing we know we can't have, so they try to sneak it in.
Actually if it was her husband the ex-Pres who had passed it STILL wouldn't be "politics", as death is not a "political" act.
As for Rump, yes he does represent the country since that's who put him in office, but that has absolute diddly to do with Barbara Bush. There's no bridge from point A to point B there. You don't need Barbara Bush to trash Rump --- he gives us all way more material than we need all by hisself
