Draft dodging President refuses to honour 1800 US war dead

What did you expect from a man whose surname denotes flatulence?

There really are no depths that this ‘man’ can not sink to are there?

He probably didn't want to get his hair wet..

‘His’ hair? Or do you mean the artificial rug on his head - maybe the glue would dissolve in the rain. Meanwhile Justin Trudeau strides out at Vimy Ridge, wind blown and wet and without an umbrella

Good grief, did he refuse to honour the war dead because it was raining ?

Yes ab the excuse was that the presidential helicopter wasn’t up to it. The cemetery is only an hour from Paris by road. Still the good news is that he gets some free time to tweet and watch some more TV. He’s sent some minions in his place mind, blesss him

Beggars belief that people voted for this cretin .The boys and they will mostly have been BOYS not men who lie in that cemetary didn't get an option of fighting in the rain or on a dry day or at all .Trump should be ashamed of himself ...but he wont be ...it'll be fake news or some other silly excuse .

I was about to say ‘unbelievable ‘ but it isn’t is it? He will feel no shame, he is a stranger to any feelings of shame , he has no respect for the living so can’t be expected to have respect for the dead .

His make up would have run

Whenever you think he can stoop no lower, he shows us he can. You can bet that if the weather had been fine, he would have found another excuse not to visit the American war cemetery,
President Obama came to Normandy in 2014 for the commemoration of the D-Day landings.

There really are no depths that this ‘man’ can not sink to are there?

They were sinking and drowning in mud 100 years ago and he did not go because it was raining.

I am shaking my head in despair.

To be fair to the POTUS the helicopter was grounded due to bad weather and travelling by road at such short notice would have been a security nightmare .

Yes, someone could have kidnapped him.

Perish the thought jalima!

This is what a man looks like

You honestly think that a) a presidential helicopter with the high spec it would have couldn’t handle rain and b) they couldn’t handle the car journey? The fact that it would have been at short notice would actually have made it safer as no one would have had chance to plan anything.

As someone has just tweeted

“They may have laid down their lives so that others may be free but at least they were never called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice of going outside when it was raining a bit”.

And this

“French rain can cause havoc with your hair though David it happened to me once and I was rude and obnoxious for a long time afterwards #justquiffing”

I really have no idea how hi spec the helicopter is I just read that it was grounded due to bad weather .

Even at short notice, if the man had been determined, I'm sure that he could have got there in time.
He may be President, but he doesn't act very presidential.

There was time to organise someone to go in his place. He would have seriously hated the wind and rain - his hair truly is very fragile. But the real issue is that it wouldn’t have all been about him and he can’t bear that. I did wonder if he might have been taken ill ........

Miserable excuse for a human never mind a president. Do we call him a 'snowflake' or is he just a drip?

I heard that he and Macron had had a little tiff so perhaps he was sulking.

Bodes well for the future of the world with a POTUS like that.

No change there then.
