“Melania and I join with a grieving Nation to mourn the loss of former President George H.W. Bush, who passed away last night,’ President Trump began in a statement released on Saturday.
“Through his essential authenticity, disarming wit, and unwavering commitment to faith, family, and country, President Bush inspired generations of his fellow Americans to public service — to be, in his words, “a thousand points of light” illuminating the greatness, hope, and opportunity of America to the world.”
