"Trump cancels World War One memorial visit to US cemetery because of 'poor
weather'

Those old bone spurs acting up again?"


What a pussy!
I bet those WW1 soldiers wish they could have cancelled fighting every time "poor weather" occurred.

"The Saturday event was canceled because rain made helicopter transport more hazardous and security more difficult along a long driving route."

But don't let facts get in the way of you sucking up to your fat buddy.

Oh, and...

"President Trump spoke *without* an umbrella during a cold, rainy Veterans Day ceremony in France.

The ceremony at Suresnes Cemetery near Paris was Trump's final scheduled stop before returning to the U.S.

"This is certainly the highlight of the trip," Trump said, after putting down his umbrella to speak.

The few reporters who chose to attend huddled under umbrellas, with ponchos over their computers. Many others chose to remain at a hotel press filing center."

Eh.



Funny how the Trump haters jump on Fake News to find ways to criticize
him or make him look bad.

The real reason his visit to the World War One Memorial was cancelled
was because the weather was below minimum flight standards for Marine One.

The Memorial is over 60 miles from where Trump and Co. were and
schedules didn't allow for driving, even if they wanted to. Driving
that distance in "The Beast" is not done due to difficulties
in organizing a long distance motorcade therefore helicopters (Marine
One) is used.

I watched the news from London and also the local Dublin news while over there. Both stations
commented that Trump did not visit the memorial because of the bad weather. That's the word that
Europe got, with no mention of a helicopter or the 'beast'. When I saw the reports, I'll have to
admit I was quite ****ed with Trump. That report just added more to the dislike most Europeans have
for Trump. Of course, there is no news in Europe, that I know of, which would tell the whole,
unbiased story.

FWIW, I didn't know the whole story until I read your post.


For a number of reasons the security given to the POTUS exceeds that of
most - or probably *all* European countries. But the left won't buy
that because they thinkthe USA should be just like every other nation on
the planet.

We are not.


There is a pretty good rationale for security and POTUS. If someone
killed a president on foreign soil, it might start WWIII.

Gavrilo and Franz proved that 104 years ago..
