Trump in the Rain

[billisonboard]

Let us be fair. We have all be in a situation where we have disappointed someone we love and respect due to circumstances outside of our control. Shit happens. What matters is how we respond. So Mr President, how are you going to show you truly care? We are waiting.

[oped]

He’s going to have pence tweet how great trump is for veterans...

[billisonboard]

Following the ceremony, the president and first lady went to the Suresnes American Cemetery, about 5 miles west of the French capital, to lay a wreath and observe a moment of silence under rainy skies. link

Satisfactory?

I wonder if trump is seriously ill, possibly with advanced stages of Parkinson's disease and that's why he was unable to honor our war dead yesterday.  Rain might heighten the physical symptoms of Parkinson's disease and tire the sufferer. 

If anyone has a friend who writes pieces for Newswire maybe they could ask him to find out how many weeks trump left has left to live.  

That Newswire contact previously cited on September 12, 2016 was right on the money with his prediction regarding Hillary Clinton and her failing health.

Thoughts and prayers.

Humiliating the USA again on the world stage. What a POS.

United in the rain, world leaders walked slowly up the Champs-Elysees in Paris to mark a century since the end of World War I -- but there were two notable absences, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

[countrygirl2]

They were probably off snuggling some where getting the US ready to crater.


He doesn't even care about California and all the people that have died out there.  

Instead he threatens to cut federal funds from them.  I don't have the words to say how

much I dislike that person.  He actually makes me physically ill.

Marine One wouldn't fly.  And, he did not want to disrupt the procession with his motorcade.  So, you would be complaining either way, so carry on.

Lame excuse. The other heads of state made it there. Then there's not walking with them for the Armistice Day ceremony.

Since when has he EVER demonstrated any thiughtfulness about his motorcade?

All the other world leaders went to show tbeir respect. This horse’s ass doesn’t HAVE any respect and he proved it

Upside...he wasn't there, so we don't have video of him saying something terrible, and then later denying he said it.

He made a comment at the ceremony he actually went to, about getting drenched and others sitting where they were dry.  He did not appear to be drenched.

No possible way would he let that awful combover get wet and deflate. Those 5 hairs must have taken forever to swirl around the top of his head like that.

  I just knew there would be at least one apologista for Trump's gaffe. Especially felt it would come from a poster that has had plenty to say about athletes kneeling and how that somehow disrespects the flag and veterans.

He's got no problem fucking up traffic every weekend in Palm Beach for his weekends at his golf course. 

Nice try.

He had no problem disrupting the Pittsburgh mourners, traffic and safety services after he was asked not to visit until the funerals were over. He's a mega douche and has zero respect for anything.

[steff]

The man who said he would run into a school if there was a shooting can't even handle a few raindrops.   He's probably worried he would melt. 

There is ALWAYS a backup weather plan for Presidential trips/appearances.  ALWAYS a rain option.  Just another example of how incompetent this administration is.  Another example of how hiring your friends, wife's friends, or big donors who don't know anything about how the gov't runs isn't a good idea.

He saved that for the ceremony he did bother to show up at.  Whined to 80-90 year old men who served their country & watched their friends die,  how cushy they had it sitting under a tent while his weasel wig was having to stand in a sprinkle.

Some gave all.   the so called president gave nothing because he can't be bothered to honor our military who gave their lives for our freedoms.

Trump, Pence miss Veterans Day observance at Arlington Cemetery

President Trump is spending Monday at the White House and had no plans to visit Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia as America observes the Veterans Day holiday.

The White House announced a so-called travel lid at 10 a.m. ET, meaning that the president is not expected to hold any public events or leave the executive mansion.

Vice President Mike Pence did not attend Sunday's Veterans Day observance at Arlington National Cemetery, where Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie represented the administration. Wilkie made brief remarks and laid a wreath at the Arlington's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, and Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker were among the other Cabinet officials in attendance.

What a disgrace.

[countrygirl2]

Why would he do something like this?  Even his base shouldn't approve of this.  I know he has low information voters, maybe fox news is saying nothing about it.

He could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and his base would love him.
Faux probably isn’t saying anything, so his low information supporters won’t even know. It’s all over Facebook though

They haven't figured out how to blame Hillary, Obama or the Democrats yet.  So they all remain silent.   And his base here haven't been able to disprove pics of Obama speaking to veterans in the rain.   So they all remain silent.  Can't dare to show weakness or admit that this is a MASSIVE shunning of our veterans and military.  So they all remain silent.  Can't admit that he doesn't give two shits about our military other than to use them as props.  So they all remain silent. 

Gigs up and they all know it.  Can't hide it anymore.  He has nothing but contempt for those that gave their lives to protect our country.  He has nothing but contempt for those serving now.  He can't even fake it anymore and everyone knows it.

'A train wreck': Veterans haven't receive GI Bill benefits for months

Shelley Roundtree departed the U.S. Army in 2013 after seeing friends and fellow soldiers die in combat during his tour in Afghanistan. He was committed to transitioning to civilian life, and one of his first steps was to enroll in college with tuition and housing benefits he'd earned under the GI Bill.

Roundtree, 29, began studying marketing at Berkeley College in Midtown Manhattan. He dreams of working in the fashion industry, and he's close to graduating — but now there's a serious obstacle.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is suffering from a series of information technology glitches that has caused GI Bill benefit payments covering education and housing to be delayed or — in the case of Roundtree — never be delivered.

There are many veterans, like Roundtree, across the country who are still waiting for VA to catch up with a backlog created after President Trump signed the Forever GI Bill in 2017. The landmark piece of legislation greatly expanded benefits for veterans and survivors' families, but it did not upgrade the VA's technical capabilities to account for those changes.

But yet he can send 15,000 troops to fight the "INVASION" from the border of the immigrants  Our tax dollars are going to that??  He's being a pissy toddler for not getting his $100M parade.  Such a narcissist!  Took his ball and is sitting at home pouting!!  Or maybe he flew to FL to golf

[countrygirl2]

Now he is talking about firing the head of Homeland Security she won't do this stuff fast enough I guess.  If you notice he is making every arm of government unworkable.  I think there is so much more to this then we realize.  Something is not right. Why aren't other republicans up there with influence trying to find ways to stop him.  I'm starting to think there is something mentally wrong with him if not, its even worse.  Are they all in on it?  

[weltschmerz]

Trump didn't go to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in a drizzle because he doesn't know how to operate an umbrella.

[countrygirl2]

He's probably used to someone else doing it for him.

I wonder who has to wipe his ass for him. Never knew an adult who didn't know how to close an umbrella.
