The post consists of a headline and a link to a sympathetic outlet's write-up of remarks the President himself delivered. The desk confirms the post is real and was published from the President's own account.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
There is a category of man who reads the room at a memorial service and finds the most moving thing in it to be himself. The post is not a tribute; it is a press clipping about a tribute, forwarded by the tribute's author because someone else typed the compliment first and that makes it news. A eulogy is one of the few speeches in public life that is not supposed to be about the speaker, which is precisely why this one had to be graded, aggregated, and reposted. The office comes with a bully pulpit; it was not meant to double as a scrapbook.
