Melania Trump earlier in the day hosted a tour of the White House Christmas decorations for Laura Bush and other members of the Bush family who are in town for the funeral services.

The 41st president died on Friday at his home in Houston. He was 94.

Thousands have flocked to the Capitol to pay respects to Bush, whose remains are lying in state there through Wednesday morning. President Trump and his wife visited the Capitol on Monday night.

The president has declared Wednesday a national day of mourning, and a funeral service will be held for Bush at the National Cathedral.

President Trump has avoided controversy in the aftermath of George H.W. Bush's death, despite previously targeting the Bush family for criticism.

He has slammed George W. Bush for making the "worst single mistake" in U.S. history by invading Iraq, mocked his brother former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush repeatedly while on the campaign trail in 2016, and poked fun at George H.W. Bush earlier this year over his use of the phrase "thousand points of light."

President Trump did not attend the funeral earlier this year for former first lady Barbara Bush, but George H.W. Bush reportedly made clear he wanted the current president to attend his funeral services.
