Donald Trump, who was widely ridiculed for not attending a Saturday event honoring U.S. military dead in France due to rainy weather, did not travel to the commemoration by car because he didn’t want to disrupt the traffic in Paris, the White House claimed late Sunday. The president had been scheduled to lay a wreath and observe a moment of silence at the Aisne-Marne American cemetery and memorial at Belleau, about 60 miles northeast of Paris, and the White House cited rain that grounded the president’s helicopter for the cancellation. Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement Sunday that noted the weather and “near-zero visibility” as well as concerns that a motorcade on short notice would have required closing roads to traffic. British lawmaker Nicholas Soames, grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, tweeted Saturday: “They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate @realDonaldTrump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen.”

1. Oh bullcrap - we have been in the area for the past week

Or more. Cloudy and drizzly - no wind, no steady rain - only drizzle. Fog in am but with plenty of visibility.

She is lying her butt off.

6. They're lying, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying and they tell more lies anyway

Is that a mental condition or do they just not give a shit?

9. Funny, he loves fucking with people in NJ & FL to golf every other weekend, but spares the French?

[Roland99]

2. Took them *that* long to come up with *that* excuse??

[underpants]

4. Exactly

[Hassin Bin Sober]

3. I'm sure all the people that live near his pimp-palace in Florida believe that bullshit.

[Vinca]

5. That's a half baked excuse if I ever heard one.

He's a self-centered pig who didn't want his candy cotton hair to get wet and his orange coloring to run. End of story.

[eShirl]

7. Because he's so considerate of others.

[marble falls]

8. Doesn't seem to care about traffic anywhere else. He lost his lucky umbrella when it wouldn't ...

close and he left it on the ramp is the real reason.

[Tanuki]

10. It was really about....

[WePurrsevere]

11. More BS & flat out LIES: "rain that grounded the president's helicopter"...

It was an ALL weather helicopter sort like what the Coast Guard uses. If these things can fly in a friggin HURRICANE the rain in France would have been a piece of cake.

If all the other world leaders could make it, than so the hell could he.

[blugbox]

12. Slanders described it as "near zero visability"...

She expects us to believe it was even worse weather than the video you posted?? How did everyone else make it without a hitch then?

[WePurrsevere]

15. Exactly! If everyone else could make it, then so could he. nt

[raging moderate]

13. Keep trying, White House.

They are throwing different things against the wall to see which lie will stick to the wall.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. He Started Worrying About Inconveniencing People, When?

Lame excuse from a lame subsimian.

[shanny]

16. so, if I have this right:

1) it was unsafe 'cause rain;
2) it was unsafe 'cause cloud cover;
3) it was donnie boy being courteous to others and not wanting to disrupt traffic.




hmmm. I'm going with 4) none of the above.
