Agreed. The WH claimed the helicopter was unable to fly due to the light rain and overcast skies. The WH also claimed that there was no time to arrange a motorcade. Hogwash.

(CNBC)

How is it all the other leaders managed to make the trip? At the very least, Trump could have hitched a ride in one of their limos. Sounds more like Trump was in a snit and refused to go.

The excuse is clearly bollocks. There would have been multiple alternative plans in place in case of the helicopter not being available/feasible. It's just a pathetic excuse for Trump's capriciousness.
 
I find it thoroughly disrespectful that Trump hasn’t gone to the Armistice Day Service. When he tells provable lies they can be corrected. When he attacks and insults journalists and politicians they have the right of reply.

But disrespecting the dead, today of all days, is just mean-spirited.

Indeed, even if he had gone by helicopter his motorcade would have been there in case he couldn't fly back out.

"With proper Forest Management, we can stop the devastation constantly going on in California. Get Smart!"

Great, the Northern California fires started on Federally Administered Land. Does President Prison Date not know he has a Forest Service?

I must say, I detest discussing this kind of trivia. (The umbrella incident) if overall Trump was a good guy, would we really care? I don't think so. It might be emblematic of the kind of person Trump is, but it is not worthy of discussion.

I'm far more offended by almost every word he says and every act of his administration. I hate that he says he's going to protect people from being denied coverage because of preexisting conditions and that his justice department is suing to allow Insurance companies to do exactly that. I hate that he us leading the nation with fear and division as opposed to trying to unite us.

I hate that he is demonizing immigrants turning poor families into something we should fear, I had hoped (probably irrationally) that once he became President, he would rise to the office. Instead, he is dragging us down to his level.

I sort-of disagree - although I think it more belongs in the Trump mental health thread (although more specifically about cognitive function). On its own, it means nothing, but it is more circumstantial evidence that he is not right. The fact that he seems so confused by an umbrella is more interesting than if he'd just dropped the umbrella immediately for a minion to pick up.

I don't disagree. It is all that...well maybe. But I can't imagine that the 25th will be invoked over these things. So when we discuss it, we look petty.

Bit late to this specific response, but it would be very difficult to reason anyone out of support for Trump if they're still supporting him. However, if he ends up looking ridiculous enough times, it might actually open the door.

It's hard to come across as superior, if everyone is envisioning* you as being oblivious to some toilet paper* stuck on your shoe.




*Even if the administration claims** that the footage isn't actually of toilet paper.

**And I trust them implicitly.
 
Trump Tweets

" On this Veterans Day — the 100th Anniversary of the end of WWI, we honor the brave HEROES who fought for America in the Great War, and every Veteran who has worn the uniform and kept our Nation Safe, Strong and FREE!"

"Beautiful ceremony today in Paris commemorating the end of World War One. Many World leaders in attendance. Thank you to @EmmanuelMacron, President of France! Now off to Suresnes American Cemetery to make speech in honor of our great heroes! Then back to the U.S.A."
 
He didn't walk to the commemoration service with the other leaders. He arrived early and kept apart from them.
 
He is amazingly tone-deaf.

I *know* that is not news, but even so, I am continuously amazed, and that is one of his least dislikeable traits.
 
Are we only supposed to honour/mourn/regret the senseless loss of life of soldiers who are the same nationality as us, then? If so I've been getting it wrong for 65 years.
 
These kind of ceremonies are so standard for politicians at every level all over the world. Every mayor of every Podunk city can manage whichever commemoration ceremony they do without incident. An event like this, with a number of world leaders present, must be choreographed down to the second. Trump is so incompetent that he stumbles through something any 10 year old could do. What an ass that man is.

"Relate to that kid?" I am that kid every spring, especially since we moved to Colorado where spring comes about the end of May. However, I'll stand out in the cold rain or snow so my dog can pee, so I think I coulda handled a ceremony honoring our veterans.

Not only is he an ass, but he is a *******, and a lying ******* at that, and he is also such a ******** that no one can believe such a ****** could consistently be so ******* and that he so absolutely ***** all over everything he touches.

That's not a rant to the extent it's accurate.
 
I wonder what he and President Macron argued about? Top two guesses are...

1) Trade tariffs. Yes I think Trumpski would actually be crass enough to attempt trade talks at a war memorial.

2) Macron's recent statement about Europe having to build up defenses because they can't rely on the US anymore.

At our village Remembrance parade, the Beaver Scouts (6-8) and Rainbow Guides (5-7) managed to lay wreaths with appropriate levels of respect.

I've seen it reported that it's the latter.

Which is kind of ironic, given that Trump has previously moaned about Europe having to rely on the US military.
