    Trump, afraid of having another Bad Hair Day, ducked the ceremony he came for.
    Remember after the Philly shootings, he fielded questions under an umbrella at the airport, before boarding to go to a rally in the Midwest, where he was apologizing for his hair, but assuring people it was real because of it.

    the point being, nearly every prez has done similar, seemingly disturbing things, yet the lunatic fringe is harping on trump's every breathe, every step... there's a term for it... 'stalking'

    Was that speech Trump made in Suresnes, France ---an outdoor speech at that--- taped at some point earlier and then played this morning?

    Many a President has shown an ability to deal with the rain. They use umbrellas, raincoats and sometimes just accept they are going to get drenched.

    Why is Trump such a wimp about it?

    Yeah, that's right. Vladimir Putin. Undisputed ruler of Russia. Getting drenched in a ceremony honoring Russia's war dead.

    Trump is a wimp and a puzzy compared to all the above.

    Trump's embrace of "nationalism" is a rejection of American patriotism, the confidence that emboldened the US to take a leadership role in the world, especially, among democratic nations.

    Global pre-eminence is surrendered, most conspicuously, in the case of Trump's aligning with Assad's Syria as the only other pariah state in the common existential struggle against anthropogenic climate change, but the abdication of primacy is far more encompassing.

    There once was an isolated, tenuous enclave where elite, white males elevated their enlightened, inclusive vision to make America great.

    It is now the white/male political party that is renouncing and retreating from their forbears' noble goal, their confidence that welcomed engagement as the path to achievement.

    I reject the argument of the Presidential motorcade being too big a deal to drive to the ceremony. These events are planned in the most careful detail. That includes the possibility of having to alter routes, use aircraft or land vehicle. Unless there was a flood blocking all the roads, or some other disaster, the idea that the President of the United States could not make it to an American Cemetery in France because of rain is laughable.

    If there is one thing the French love America for, it is our war dead on their soil. They would move heaven and earth to see any honorary event come off successfully. For the 100th Anniversary of World War One, they'd move Hell as well.

    Trump is an embarrassment and a walking, talking, gesturing, Twittering insult.

    Oh? Then what was Trump doing in the story below, at Suresnes, France?

    Link: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-speaking-at-armistice-day-event-xx

    The hyperliberal, Trump-hating Left would gain more traction generally if it focused on REALITY. As it is, they merely make themselves out to be ridiculous 'cartoons' of what serious critics should be.... :spin:

    Looked into this for all of ONE minute, that LW didn't do that before spewing TDS and nonsense is typical.

    Apparently the cloud ceiling, not the relatively light rain, grounded POTUS' helicopter. Then the logistics of forming a proper motorcade in a foreign country stifled whatever contingency plan the SS had.

    Unlike many lesser world leaders, the POTUS cannot just hop into a light escort and drive somewhere, whether it's Trump, Obama, Reagan, Ford or JFK. We have the historical assassinations and attempts compared to other countries to PROVE that. Necessary Context. Of course entirely omitted in TDS narratives.

    Trump made an expensive, international trip with the full intention of going to the ceremony. Of course TDS narratives omit this other necessary context totally.

    Anyone trying to make this about "a little rain," "Trump's tweeting" or his hair after being informed of the above is a purposeful liar in print for all to see, so please do continue the TDS.

    That someone who does not know the entire facts and logistical issues involved in the specific contingency plan and this specific motorcade forwards the absurdity above with as presumably straight face is the only thing laughable.

    And?

    That visit was TODAY.

    The Topic of THIS thread is about when Trump Crapped all over the Memory of Dead Heroes YESTERDAY.

    So your post is Deflective and Off Topic.:bored:

    Feel free to start a NEW thread (about Today's Cemetery visit) if you wish.

    Your post would be on topic, there.

    Carry on.:flagus:

    The only steaming pile is trying to conflate those 60 other -lesser- world leaders, most of whom could ride a donkey cart there with no threat, with the security necessities attached to protecting the POTUS, all the while assuming mountains of information that you do not know. Typical LW TDS, not surprised.

    Oooh! When a reply so full of nit-picking agitation appears, you know that a nerve-ending must have gotten twinged. :psychoitc:

    Whatsa' matter, Andy? You sorry that Trump showed up for memorial observances in France? From your faction's standpoint I can see how it's a lot more fun to just stand back and lob sh*t at Trump, like children at a carnival shooting gallery, but when you go this far overboard to vilify Trump you only make yourself look comically shrill.... :roflol:

    Parenthetically, do you think the dead American soldiers who were buried in France a hundred years ago would be more likely to disapprove of Trump, possibly more so, a bunch of America-hating, Leftist Democrat ninnies who use every pretext imaginable to carp at everything this president does?! :unclesam:

    The rich kid who lied to avoid the draft and who now won't sully himself by visiting their graves? Oh yes, I'm sure each would enjoy giving trump a fat shot right in his fat face, at the very next opportunity. Kick him right in the vagina neck....

    This liberal whining is more proof that the blue wave didn't happen, they still have nothing, so they resort to whining about anything and everything else...

    Ahhhh like the Republicans and their lackeys did with the BS birther garbage? Real "reality", huh? Obama received FOUR TIMES the typical death threats over that. But the right loved that fact. They never expressed any concern.

    Cultists can never accept criticism of the leader.

    You're obediently in denial. Democrats' landslide takeover of the House was enormous, so much so that the Republicans are just and scared as Trump is about it and what's coming in January.
