The POTUS (reminds me of port-a-pottie) has more important things to do. Perhaps Ramadan dinner or morning prayers facing East? At any rate, I am sure that someone will suggest that he put aside his childish stubbornness and attend the funeral. He will likely make a big photo op out of it. Perhaps, he will even give a speech where he demands that the obstructionist Republican congress allow him to nominate the successor, making it a political point. Maybe he will even shill for Hillary while he is at it. After all, she threatened to take him with her if she gets indicted for her felony.
