    So rather than take a motorcade the 60 miles to pay tribute to the deceased American troops who gave their lives fighting in WW1, Trump decided to stay dry in his Hotel room and play on twitter.

    I may also mention that Trump has yet to visit our troops still stationed in Irag & Afghanistan as well.

    Can you imagine if Obama decided to stay in his Hotel room rather than pay tribute to the fallen that fought for the United States in WW1? The cons heads would collectively explode.

    SAD

    Trump clearly doesn't care for the fallen. His actions today speak volumes. Twitter was more important to him.

    Your fake outrage is absurd.

    You have nothing so you blow up over nothing.

    Keep doing this, you clearly don't see how pathetic the left looks when they lose their minds over nothing. It's the most entertaining aspect of PF these days.

    Wow.:smfh:

    Trump = UNPATRIOTIC

    Trump = Crapping on the Memory of Dead Allied Heroes.

    Trump = DISGRACE


    And some people actually voted for (and still support) this Veteran-Hating MORON?

    Wow. :smfh:

    Trump is a DISGRACE to the USA (and the Office of POTUS).

    2020 can't come soon enough.

    Clearly you are happy supporting a disgrace as our POTUS. Good for you. How pathetic that all the other leaders of Nations were able to pay respect except for Trump. Maybe his bone spurs were too sore? Or maybe he decided staying in playing on twitter was more important to him. The man is a disgrace to the USA.

    When you are right you are right. He should have made the trip. Who knows how many Democrat voters he could have converted by showing up at their resting place? Hell, he might have even been able to change the course of the Florida and Arizona elections with just one trip!

    Bad Bad, ORANGEMANBAD!

    No but if you were to read the article you would see that the weather caused logistical problems for Trumps visit, probably meaning security, so it was cancelled.

    It wasn't because he was afraid of getting wet.

    Your partisanship is duly noted.

    Every other leader was able to pay respect to the fallen. I repeat that, EVERY OTHER LEADER except Trump some how miraculously found a way to get there to pay their respect to the fallen.

    It's called a contigency plan. I guarantee the SS had one, but Trump thought it to me much more important to tweet in his hotel room about fake voter fraud.

    The man is a disgrace and clearly unfit to be leader of the free world.

    Would I create a thread if I didn't care?

    But it's obvious you couldn't care less that our President doesn't care for our Military.

    you requested a response concerning 'if obama did something like it', ergo no derailment, although post #20 is a terrible attempt at deflection...

    very much on topic, so get up off the floor and act like an adult...

    I don't think that's the case, pretty sure Trump is adequetely pro-armed forces. In fact, because he didn't attend isn't proof that he doesn't care, for all we know something may have been more pressing, maybe he was tired, who knows. Trump is the one who wanted to display our military in parade, you don't parade something you're not proud of or care about.

    Trump didn't cancel a rally when a racist terrorist shot up a synagogue, but you bring up a response to a foreign attack while on a diplomatic mission??? Trump would have attacked Belgium in a tweet.
