he can wear his stupid baseball cap on the links and would not have to take it off inside the club, unless he were in a private space.

If he wore, say a fedora, to the Paris events, he would have to take it off at some point in public and not have time to adjust the birds nest on his head.

ALL IS VANITY.

I've noticed his base is amazingly quiet. It's welcome, of course, but his trolls haven't really been up to their normal vitriol. I can't wait to see how they try to spin this bullshit. My guess is he'll be stupid enough to try and turn this around and say the "real" disrespect is football players taking a knee, the press is the enemy of the people, it's all fake news and everybody is picking on him, so he HAS to punch back. You know...his normal reaction to anything when there's applause involved. And his base will howl their approval. January 3rd can't come soon enough.

Obviously he could not travel by helicopter to the cemetery on Sunday due to the rain. The alternative was a 90 minute drive through the countryside. Maybe he feared that the long drive would put his life at risk. On the same day, when a large group of world leaders marched together to the Champs-Élysées ceremony, Trump arrived by motorcade. Was he afraid to walk with them out in the open? I am not making excuses but rather making an observation.

Helicopters can't fly in the rain? Wow! That would make them really useless, wouldn't it?

Now let's see what happens when a real president has the helicopter:













Fake president Trump gave a fake reason for not wanting to get his fake hair and cheap, Chinese-made tie wet!

Trump has no golf courses in France. The caddies are wearing Trump branded umbrellas, etc.. it's likely from another time at one of his golf courses.
