    Default Trump pissing down Troops backs, tells them it's raining.

    A little rain prevents the Orange scoundrel from honoring the fallen American war heroes in France.


    Critics were stunned that President Donald Trump skipped a visit Saturday to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France – where U.S. war dead were being honored – because of rain. They zapped him with a a series of tweets showing Barack Obama in downpours honoring those who fought in wars in what was bound to be particularly galling to the president.

    As many as 1,800 American soldiers killed in the World War I battle of Belleau Wood are buried in the French cemetery. But Trump ditched his planned visit and stayed in his hotel room because of unspecified “scheduling and logistical difficulties caused by the weather,” according to a White House statement. Instead, a delegation led by Chief of Staff John Kelly traveled to the cemetery 50 miles outside of Paris by car. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron were among the world leaders who made the trip.

    Winston Churchill’s grandson Nicholas Soames, a member of the British Parliament, blasted Trump as “pathetic” and “inadequate” for failing to show up.

    Twitter responded with scads of photos of Obama campaigning or speaking at various events in the rain. A number of them featured the former president in pelting rain honoring veterans or those killed in battle.

    I try to never do this, but this one time, can you imagine if this was Obama? OMG. Trump is an embaressment. However General Kelly being there is a much more honorable person representing the US.

    Do remember that your President is a German, dammit! He finds it difficult both to go against his national feelings and to praise his betters.

    A man like General Kelly must despise Trump.

    I like to think he is there from a sense of duty. In fact, I am sure he is.

    It won't be funny until Trump actually goes in the rain, so we can all look at that fox pelt lid of his when wet.
