    Churchill's grandson slams Trump for skipping cemetery visit because of weather


    Nicholas Soames, a British politician and grandson of Winston Churchill, ripped President Trump on Saturday for canceling a cemetery visit in France due to bad weather.

    "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," Soames tweeted.

    Soames, who is a member of Parliament for Mid Sussex, included a hashtag saying Trump is "not fit to represent his great country."

    Didn't you look at your source? The visit was canceled due to the weather and logistical issues. In other words, the helicopters couldn't safely fly them to their destination. Canceled due to weather.

    You should feel embarrassed.

    Macron has delusions of having his own stand alone Army again. Perhaps this time they will do something other than run away. Then he can visit the fallen all he wants.

    Your own source said that the helicopters could not fly him there. "Light" rain, or not.

    What sinister motive(s) do you attribute to Trump?

    Remember last year when the orange turd had to take a golf cart rather then walk with the other world leaders?

    now this

    “Low Energy Trump” Skips Visiting Aisne Marne American Cemetery – Decision Ridiculed Around The World

    The White House did not say why the president chose not to motorcade when taking a helicopter was no longer an option. The cemetery is 50 miles from Paris.

    Instead the Trump’s returned to the U.S. ambassador to France’s residence, where he and the first lady are staying in Paris, for about four and a half hours.

    It's petty stuff like you and so many others post that makes Trump likely to win the next election. Do yourself a favor and focus on real issues, like fixing the Democratic party.

    If other leaders got there, it was totally possible for Trump to get there.

    Of course the White House and its proxys are going to claim "logistical" problems.

    That is going to be the official excuse, and transparently so.

    Trump is never going to fess up that he doesn't like the way his hair looks in the wind, that he is lazy, or that he is just a disrespectful piece of shit.

    It will be the EU’s Army. Trump misquoted him.

    This would be a bad idea. The EU does not agree with each other about to many things. Throwing the military into would be a disaster.

    Guano would hate Nicholas Soames ordinarily but it affords an opportunity to do a little more Trump bashing.

    From the video:
    "canceled due to scheduling and logistical difficulties caused by the weather An American delegation led by Chief of Staff General John Kelly and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joe Dunford will attend on their behalf."

    Much ado about nothing.
