Trump blows off WWI Centenary due to a little rain

I wouldn't put it past the Trumpster to use this to set up the most Epic Troll in the history of International politics

 

Part of the reason that the motorcade and Presidential chopper can't make it there safely is the size of the entourage makes it a public spectacle.  But if he engaged Special Forces to smuggle him in quietly he could show up near the end of the ceremony and say "Just like a 100 years ago America came here to finish this"

Let me know when he does something -- ANYTHING -- worthy of praise and we'll see. The Reverse-Robinhood Wealth Grab Tax Cut doesn't count in my book. Neither do his endless golf trips or the "lock her up!" rallies that he's still holding for some reason even though he's already president. 

 

So...combating child trafficking isn't worthy of praise?

I love how the idiots on the left are suddenly patriotic security experts.

 

Deep State operatives probably disabled the helicopter to force him to take a last minute road trip, so they could attack the motorcade on the unsecured route and assassinate him before he declassifies the FISA applications.  WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

 

Seriously...this is as dumb a controversy as "Bush stayed at the school for 20 minutes on 9/11!!!"  These sorts of decisions are not in the President's hands.

Trump won't stand in the rain for a few minutes to honor the veterans of WWI, and we get total silence from his followers. It's astonishing."

 

What do you want?

Do you expect people here to say "*****, I'm dropping this whole anti-globalist, anti-cabal position because Trump didn't go to this event"...?

This is disappointing.

 

Obama would have spared no expense to go there and make a speech about himself.

 

Security over ceremony.....................oh the Horror

 

No comment from Glen Miller...................

Was that the day she fell up their stairs or off the curb? :lol:

Merkel, Macron , Trudeau, could each walk into a local Tim Hortons , order a double double and a muffin walk out and not a single person would take notice excepting perhaps those in their respective countries . 

Given the President would need travel counting return trip 100 miles over roads those who he is under protection to protect him from danger could not possibly have time to find a assuredly safe route for him to travel.  It is obvious to any reasonable and fair minded person logistics made this not possible. Of course the optics are terrible and those looking for a way to demean the President have and will.

I'm sure I'll get 20 "you're an idiot" and "what a silly libtard" responses. But I'd really, REALLY love to hear a reasonable defense of Trump's actions here. And while we're at it, Trump STILL hasn't visited our troops, two years into his presidency. What a tough guy he is! And what respect for our military and our veterans! Can't even begin to IMAGINE what the right would have said about Obama if he pulled this crap. What a sniveling, cowardly disgrace of a person he is.

12:55 p.m.


The White House is calling off President Donald Trump's scheduled visit to a World War I cemetery due to poor weather.

Trump was slated on Saturday to visit Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near the village of Belleau, France. It's the site of a 1918 battle in which the American and French repelled German forces. More than 1,800 Americans died there.


The battle looms large in the history of the U.S. Marines Corps. Trump was supposed to participate in a wreath-laying and a moment of silence at the site.

It has been raining in Paris all day and the weather prevented Trump from arriving via helicopter to the site, which is more than 50 miles east of the French capital.

White House chief of staff John Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, his wife and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit instead.

  • Some perspective on President Trump canceling his projected visit to the (spectacular, not-to-be-missed) Aisne-Marne memorial and cemetery:

     

  • It's not even 60 miles from central Paris to the monument. If the weather is too wet & windy for helicopters, a presidential motorcade could drive the distance in an hour.

     

  • On site, presidential advance could easily erect a tent to protect the dignitaries (and the the presidential hair-do) from inclement weather

     

  • Visiting the close-to-Paris monument is anyway already a climb-down from what any normally patriotic president would wish to do on the centenary of the 1918 Armistice: pay respects at the Meuse-Argonne cemetery, the large US military burying place in Europe.

It's incredible that a president would travel to France for this significant anniversary - and then remain in his hotel room watching TV rather than pay in person his respects to the Americans who gave their lives in France for the victory gained 100 years ago tomorrow

 

Remember, there was no need for this trip at all. The president could have laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, then spoken a few appropriate words.

  1. But bottom line: Trump willfully insisted on an unnecessary trip to France to mark the WW1 centenary -then once he got there shirked on grounds of weather the job of honoring those who fought and died in rain and mud 100 years ago

      None of this is surprising. Doesn't make it any less dismaying. 53,000 US combat deaths. 63,000 dead of disease. 320,000 wounded. These troops fought victoriously alongside allies with whom the US still stands today. It's worth a few miles in a limo, a few words from under a tarp

Well if this is the outrage you’re going with I think it’s safe to say Trump is the best President EVER!!
