Video: President Trump Honors Rev. Graham, Attends Funeral
His heart was in America
“Billy Graham carried his message around the world, but his heart, as [his son] Franklin will tell you, was always in America,” President Donald J. Trump said Wednesday as he stood near the casket of the Reverend Billy Graham, who lay in honor earlier this week at the United States Capitol.
Today, Rev. Graham’s funeral will be held at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina. On Wednesday, American leaders had an opportunity to pay tribute to the man who inspired millions the world over with his faith.
“He took his message to the poorest places, to the downtrodden and to the brokenhearted, to inmates in prison, and to the overlooked and the neglected,” President Trump told those gathered in the Capitol Rotunda. “He felt a great passion for those that were neglected.”
Rev. Graham is only the fourth private citizen to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

It is great to see a servant of God honored by our President, Senate and House of Repersentatives. I am proud of our Government to bring God back into our nation. God Bless the Graham family and the United States of America.
Thank you to President Trump along with others for the beautiful and soulful service in the capitol Rotunda. My heart was filled with joy and love for Billy Graham and his service to the world and it’s people. I grew up listening to his television services from all around the world. He lived a life beyond any reproach always staying true to his profession and the God he served. Thank you Reverend Billy Graham for having shown so many the way to Salvation. Rest In Peace thou good and faithful servant.
Too bad Billy’s son, Franklin, is such a despicable person. Did you know Billy’s wife wanted to be buried at their beloved cabin, but Franklin insisted she be buried at their Center–probably thought the tourists coming to see her grave would bring in more money. Franklin makes $669,000 a year from the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, in addition to $575,000 a year from Samaritan’s Purse. Helps to pay for the multiple homes, cars, and private jet.
