Dick Cheney gets the last word, snubs Donald Trump

 
Headline:  Daily Beast, 11/20/2025

Leigh Kimmins reports:
President Donald Trump did not receive an invitation to former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral, sources familiar with the matter told Axios. 
While sitting presidents typically attend the funerals of former presidents and vice presidents, Cheney withdrew his support for Trump following the Jan. 6 Capitol Riots.  
Cheney, George W. Bush’s vice president from 2001 to 2009, died earlier this month at the age of 84 as a result of complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Trump did not issue a statement following Cheney’s death, but the snub is likely to irritate him[emphasis added]
