"Pilots have the last word as to weather conditions operational safety of the air craft. Trump lied and blamed it on the Secret Service.
Trump went to Paris for this ceremony.. and the weather was not bad... just a light drizzle." k #50
a) Marine One pilots are generally U.S. military pilots.
b) Whether the "No Go" call was made of the pilots own volition, or whether the pilot was ordered by his commander in chief to order "No Go" I don't know.
c) What we do know is it's been reported that over 80 world leaders attended the ceremony.
So President Trump not attending sends several messages, all of them detrimental to the self-interest of the United States. (remember "America first"?)
C1) Either Trump is so inept he sincerely wanted to attend, but simply isn't mentally alert enough to figure out how to do so, unlike the 80+ others that figured it out somehow.
- OR -
C2) Trump is clever enough to have figured it out, but he simply didn't want to.
Pick one.
“I'm gunna be workin' for you. I'm not gunna have time to go play golf.” GOP pres. cand. Trump “8/2/16”
“We have a president that doesn't know what the Hell he's doing!” Republican visionary presidential candidate Donald J. Trump
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18
