Barbara Bush was a remarkable woman. She had grit & grace, brains & beauty. She was fierce & feisty in support of her family & friends, her country & her causes. She showed us what an honest, vibrant, full life looks like. Hillary and I mourn her passing and bless her memory.

While the Obamas and the Clintons managed to do so without controversy, the same, predictably, could not be said of the statement from President Donald Trump.

Add your name to millions demanding Congress take action on the President’s crimes. In a statement that, among other accomplishments, touts Mrs. Bush’s advocacy for literacy, the president not only needlessly capitalized a random word – “Nation” – in the middle of his tweet, but also mistakenly records the date as April 17, 2017 in the official press release. While these errors aren’t dire, if you are the President of the United States and can’t manage to issue a statement of only a few sentences – inclusive of which is a celebration of literacy – without errors, that does not reflect well at all.
It seems that irony, too, died a tragic death today.
